Gotta admit I didn't read the whole first post Tel, and I think most of the people barking at you here just do it because they like to, but there is something in the part that I read that I think should be changed.
Generally, you tend to say that "all the Zoners" were like this, or like that, and they all did this and all decided that, and then they made a really big militia out of all the Zoners militias. Maybe I'm getting some of it wrong, but this is my impression from the part I read.
Fact is a lot of Zoner players and player factions here don't seem to agree with anything you say. It doesn't really matter who is right and who is wrong. Fact is that your declarations and descriptions kind of say that all Zoners united and created the ZA. But in fact, there seem to be more zoners players that have no intention of joining any sort of militia as you describe it.
So, I don't think all Zoners should be pacifists or doormats or hippies or discordians or what ever, I think Zoners can be just as aggressive, paranoid, delusional, greedy, ambitious, megalomaniac, as everyone else in Sirius can.
What I'd advise you to do (out of my own limited perspective) is to not claim to be something that all or even most Zoners would agree on. Instead, make yourself just a small faction of the Zoners, and concentrate on thinking up a story where this faction got the resources to build what ever you want to build. For example make yourself a group of Zoners that originate from Corsairs, Order defectors, Core defectors, house refugees, house fortune seekers, that made great amounts of cash and gained resources by selling nomad artifacts, remains, and technology on the black market, to various clients.
But I guess in truth, you're gonna get yelled at no matter what you do, just because people like to yell at people.
