Hot discussion here. Interesting. Personally I think that Zoner aren't immune to pirate tax, in this regard I agree with Jinx. Plus I also don't agree that every faction here requires Zoner support. Some may, perhaps, but surely not lawful house factions and not major pirate houses, those are pretty much self-sustainable and either own complete infrastructure or have their own channels and means to deliver required goods. I don't think that Zoners hold monopoly on this kind of service.
p.s. ...and some just have no love for Zoners, you know, blue jellyfish.:nyam:Neutrality is an tricky thing, isn't it? I think there is no place for full neutrality in Freelancer within the borders of roleplay, one way or another it will shift into one party or another.
