You know, your not the only one who is having issues with Mr Zodiac, and not teh first time he's attacked some one with little to no reason. His standard and favorite tactic I have noticed so far is to attack lighter smaller ships or transports who have a difficulty in fending off a fighter like his.

Its been observed that when forces come for him that equal or are better than him, he flee's action and will not fight no matter what his petty taunts might be. The pilot is a typical coward befitting those who claim to be 'lawful' in Liberty.

I for one will not cry when he is burned down once and for all.

Kallisti there!

Please be reminded that All of Baffin system is a NFZ. If anyone needs to be reminded of our laws please direct your attention to this transmission:
Baffin Pentarbarf
Also for anyone who doesn't know what NFZ means:

Quote:6.3.1 No-Fire Zones;

No-Fire Zones are 5k spherical spaces around every Zoner Station, Freeport, or a Planet's main docking point.

The No Fire Zone exists as a safe zone around all Zoners stations and bases so that all factions may come and buy necessary supplies or sell locally produced wares without endangering the civilians hosts onboard the Zoner station or planet.

The NFZ is neither a security blanket or safety net for pilots resp. factions to hide behind, nor the according Zoner facilities are a place where Non-Zoners are hosted permanently - every Non-Zoner is a temporary visitor.

Terms of the Policies:

~The No-Fire Zone is an area in which no offensive actions are allowed. (This includes attempts at piracy/taxation, the use of weapons (guns, missiles, mines), intentional ramming, or provocative behaviour such as threats, taunting or masked insults.)
~Loitering inside a NFZ is not allowed. (Non-Zoner vessels are expected to use the Freeports facilities and then move on, or to stay docked when waiting for others.)
~Trade vessels fleeing into a NFZ must dock. (Trade vessels are either freighter or tranport class craft.) All other vessels are not allowed to flee into a NFZ.
~Violating a No-Fire Zone can lead to immediate prosecution and engagement, by any member of the Zoner Alliance or independent Zoners.

The following systems are declared to be NFZs and thus no taxation/extortion is allowed:
All of Baffin by ownership by the TAZ.
All of Omicron-74 by ownership by the ZTC.

As I can see, both of you pilots have broken some rules.

David White breaking the "NO provocative behaviour rule".
and
Zodiac for firing inside Baffin.

From Zodiac's logs, he does have a point that you've insulted him.
From Mr.White's evidence, you have a point that he shot you.

Mr. Zodiac, if someone insults you. Don't mind them. Just move along and don't mind the person.
Mr. White, don't go around insulting people. You may never know what consequences you'll face with that attitude.

I hope this is clear to both of you. Good luck and Safe Travels to the both of you.

23's!

Yours in Eris' Graciousness,
Professor Louis Carlisle
