the "main" problem won t be combat ships....

we can nerf them... but here is an example from the past



at some point during 4.85 .... dab suggested a change of the zoner guard ID - and all ( at least to my knowledge ) zoner factions ( official ones ) agreed.

the zoner guard must not dock in house space anymore.

what was the reason for that?


for one - the zoner whale is a rather smallish 5k - and it has a CM. - what might look like no big deal at the start - can turn the tide in a pirate encounter.

the fear was to see zoner whales all over sirius - while the .... at least inRP ... more numerous cooperate traders in their core world transports ( mastodon, trains etc. ) - became a rare species.


and so it was decided to nerf the zoner guard ID.


now - consider that:

- the zoner whale becomes "free-for-all" - zoner factions cannot do anything about it. - other than swear at them ( actually they cannot do that either ) - and bounty them.

the zoner whale will be nerft to oblivion!!

but guess what. - no one will care - cause the only thing the whale powers is .... its shield.


and so - we might end up with a smallish transport that is possibly superior to ALL house 5k .... ( also think of what you can put into a CM slot.... ) - and only the minority of them are zoners.



so - yes, i am among those that wish to leave a mandatory approval by the official faction. - but i do not know how many reports for a non approved use went to the admins.
