Add a FP in S-17?

[Not Espi]

im sorry i have to be the one to say it, but if you cant reach fp9 for the reasons stated above, you must be a VERY lousy pilot.

however, i understand that people tend to build memorials, and sure, why not? but 3 freeports in 3 systems right next to each other is just too much.

actually, make that 4 - omega 41 has one as well. if another freeport was there, zoners would have something to shoot at after a long time. (corsairs)

edit: AND fp1 is just 2 jumps away.

As far as I am aware, the Zoner bases in O-74 are in fact, Zoner Guard bases, therefore hostile to most people, and therefore, not technically a Freeport. So they don't count, seriously.

Yes, people tend to build memorials, and I see this site as an ideal location for a dockable memorial base of some sort, in addition to its prime location for neutral ground business.

Thre ya go, a dockable Juggy. Just fly right into the nose, where there is no hitbox to bounce ya.

Stolen. D:<

EDIT: But yeah, Zoners already have hundreds of bases, and there's already a FP7 memorial.

I want to get off Mr. Igiss' wild ride.

[tyro]

currently the trend here is -> kill Zoners, so the proposal is not in time.

[n00bl3t]

Sounds like a plan.

Any man can make a mistake, only a fool keeps making the same one.

Heh.

I think we both know the point I am making.

Either way, I would support Corfu being scrapped and FP7 being rebuilt, or another base in the Sigmas for Zoners.

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

A small (junker depot size) station serving as the "freeport 7 memorial", or a small non-dockable sattelite even, would be nice.

Vast? Empty? Atka and Kurile are closer to each other than Manhattan and Rochester. A third base in that system would be redundant and cluttering.

That is the real problem, not the existence of another zoner station close by.

Furthermore, there's little activity in Sigma-17 in my opinion. One of the reasons might be that Corsairs and Outcasts don't fight over that space because they do it in Omicron Eta. I also remember times when the Juggernauts were supposed to be rare and not shown off "in public", which is what I'd call open space in Sigma-17.

[Geeky]

I approve of this idea. Honestly, sounds great. And about the small activity in the sigma's, put some good trade routes coming to and from the memorial, youll see activity blooming.

[Zelot]

Frankly, I disagree sir, as I have disagreed with you on nearly everything else. Yes, there are a few objects in the Sigmas. About half as many as the Taus. The Taus have two Freeports, and there's also Baffin with its Freeport right there. Zoners in S-17 wouldn't be 'plopping down'. Plopping down was what they did when Freeport 7 was originally built. That space which houses the debris of the old station is theirs if anybody's. And there are many places a Zoner Freeport makes less sense-- Omicron Delta comes to mind. Also Omicron Theta, since its so deep in Corsair territory that only Corsairs can feasibly reach it.

The space is already occupied, and already being fought over. You think the Zoners are going to force thier way in? Seriously, maybe if the Zoners are territorty hungry warriors they would do that, but not when they are trying to remain neutral to all the groups there. Also to counter your point about the Taus, there are about 5 Tau systems and only 3 Sigma systems, thats why there is probably a bit more population in the Taus. The Zoners dont need to be everywhere, Unless that is they want to be fighting everywhere.

Hopefully it would at least be dockable, but I wouldn't expect anything larger than a border station-size.

Well, like I said, it doesn't have to be a juggernaut. I just thought a Juggy would be a good form for this idea to manifest in. However, the current... deadness of the Sigmas is the exact reason I could see Zoners rebuilding what was already theirs, in memory of those who made it so. During the time I ran a Zoner (which I unfortunately had to strip for credits and sell DX ), I made periodic pilgrimages to the wreckage. I'm surprised more don't do the same, as I've yet to see a single person in S-17. The only times the Sigmas were active was back in the Diamond-Niobium run, in which traders and pirates flocked through and to, respectively, Sigma-13.

That would be nice. The Sigmas need some love.

No one uses the Sigmas except the barely-active Gas Miners Guild and the occasional code hunter in the Yanagi field. Furthermore, the Outcasts and Corsairs (in-RP) aren't really fighting in the Sigmas since the opening of Eta. Zoners don't need to fight over the solemn gravesite of Freeport 7. It was theirs. It still is theirs. No one else has a use for it.
