Alright then, if no one from developers don't take words everything related about Zoners from players seriously, it's official statement of the Phoenix.
First of all, we're thankful Gytrash efforts in posting this thread, collect this puzzle of messages, which actually giving a full image to what's going on for general community.
For the years Zoner players used their own ships, developing their own Role Play, putting their effort into server just because they enjoy it. But what we have now?
Developers(I hope at last part of them) decided for themselves what's good or bad of faction, even not considering to ask Zoner players what they think or at last official factions(for what purpose we are existing then?). Ruin their RP, thus ruin their fun and Zoner activity in general.
Even with such resistance of all Zoners players, they faced us behind the fact - you going to be changed into trade faction with trade restriction and no real routes, because indies screwed few times. Which actually false - latest Zoner drama caused NOT Zoner capital ships, but POBs with no regulations, which Zoner official factions tried to stop, by filling their Faction Right 5. But, Instead to listen to community and switch Zoner caps into SRPs/official faction regulation, they decide for themselves to took off what we owned for years.
As we found it as absolutely unfair for everyone, except of devs, which thinks its for better of this server and mod itself. We call administration team, developers and official factions to sit down at round table and found solution.
