@SMI - I would echo what Xiphos said. Zoners are not a House, so the assumption that their shipline must somehow be the equivalent is a silly argument to make. Gaians are also not a House, nor is their shipline anywhere close to that of Zoners, but I wouldn't argue that they should suddenly have their own transports,.cruisers, and BSes all of a sudden. Houses also don't have the neutrality of Zoners, so their inRP needs are significantly different.
@Doc - I can see and understand Zoner frustrations at not being consulted before the changes. Does that make the changes automatically bad or invalid? Not in my opinion.
But my previous response was in regard to the suggestion that the Zoner shipline is incomplete.
