Also went in O74 for a look yesterday on my FreeLancer trader and wasn't attacked by the bases or ZA players for entering the system, so didn't see a problem and looks to me like other offical zoner factions are simply miffed the ZA have those strategic bases their (instead of them having them), which is a little laughable because those POB didn't appear over-night.
Now that ZA have shown they are willing to settle this peacefully by taking this step, official zoner factions should be making an effort also to sort this out so the base turrents can be turned back on to combat Nomads and be inRP. But seems they have no intention of sorting anything out with ZA, apart from making demands they already know ZA isn't going to agree with, such as removing their bases or dismantling it's turrets. As I said before, this is purely about those player bases and some wanting them gone... all the rest is bull.
The problem is that a faction which proved not to be trustable have the power over the entries of the 74 system. They had been given 2 chances and failed both times, so now, everyone demands either deconstruction of the bases or handing them over to a trustable zoner faction, like phoenix.
If I was ZA, sorry but I'd self-kill those bases before handing them over to another official Zoner faction. Why should they hand those bases over to your faction, when they did all the hard work building them? That's wrong, it just sounds like bully-boy tactics to try get their bases. If ZA end up quitting, giving in, I hope they have the sense to destroy their POB first so no other Zoner faction gains anything from them.
