Zoner/Zoner Guard IDs - Gemini893 - 07-14-2009 ' Wrote:the term "guard" is just a term chosen aeons ago. - guard does NOT mean guard in terms of guarding something. - you can think of it as "elite" - of if you like as "dedicated". - while it might make sense for some factions - for others it doesn t make sense. - for some it has already been changed due to RP demands ( BHG guard = core )I'd never considered that Guard factions could be looked at that way, thank you for opening my eyes. ' Wrote:the zoner whale was made, cause zoners are traders covering a vast amount of edge space - a space almost as demanding and large as the whole core house space put together. - zoners are traders... they control and pull their strings with political influence which they mainly gain through economical dependencies.I understand but, at the same time, the Zoner Whale has no guns. Why not let the normal Zoners risk using it? Not that I would, personally. I much prefer having guns. ' Wrote:modern warfare can be faught two ways. - you can have your weapons speak - ruining your own country and the enemy financially. OR you can make them dependent on you - so that you dictate every move they do - and the best thing is .... they re not even really aware that they lost their independence to you.I've made very similar points in other treads concerning other RP issues. Thank you for reinforcing it and putting it better terms than I ever did. It could even go toward how they would influence Junkers into allowing Zoners access to Gallia. Zoner/Zoner Guard IDs - Jinx - 07-14-2009 just a sidenote - about why the whale has no guns. mostly, cause i didn t want it to be used for mining / wreck looting. - secondarily to encourage pilots to haggle / talk their way out of a sticky situation ( well, thats a pure fail there, i gotto admit, cause it doens t work that way ) - and thirdly, out of balance reasons ( its a fairly small and agile 5k transport - and although it doesn t have a vast armour protection it is very hard to stop once it has gained speed and some distance ) oh, and forthly - out of egoism, i planned to fly one myself ( and i do ) - saying that i don t model for myself a bit, too would be a lie. Zoner/Zoner Guard IDs - Malaclypse 666 - 07-14-2009 Ladies and Gents, Thank you all for your helpful suggestions, lively discussion, and some votes to boot. The voting was actually to close on Saturday, but we were all enjoying the discourse so much, we.... forgot. Per the Creator's request, I will now lock the door, and Zoners will noodle out the results, before deciding to pursue the suggested changes with another Draft, and another round of debate and bitc... eh.. voting. Thanks! Mal |
