Ok. Basically, Order and TAZ has been hostile for a while, and meanwhile shooting TAZ in the omicrons being allied with phoenix and using the freeports. So admins thought "no, if you want to shoot zoners you will be hostile to all of them".
Just a bit confused as to -why- the order were shooting zoners in the first place. Last I remember, the order and zoners, taz especially, were in a close alliance, and the order allowed official faction zoners to carry nomads in the omicrons without repercussions (because their science facilities were being used to aid the order's own research).
Guess I shouldnt be surprised, though, the whole thing started to fall apart several versions ago when Order leadership changed and the dev team stopped giving a crap about the mod.
If I am correct some zoners were caught selling nomad remains to Cryer in Cambridge (2 years ago?). The Order was upset about that and they decided to restrict transport of nomad remain by zoners. But maybe there was other reasons behind this restriction.

Someone had a ship with a fancy effect on a special ship, then someone else saw it and claimed it was a Nomad thing. Some metagaming happened as well and then things went downhill pretty fast.

Yeah, basically that, in short.
And this.
Who said Zoners are one big organization? TAZ aren't "normal" Zoners anymore, as well. This is the very same problem like with BHG, who are claimed to be "unified", but are technically strongly decentralized political body, which perhaps share only the name. Same with Zoners, they are just Confederation, what doesn't mean they must follow same rights or even diplomacy.
