And how many Zoner caps that are roleplaying correctly need to go through House space and/or systems with 2 or more Jump Gates?
Anyone playing their cap as a guard vessel. We need to be able to get around to the various systems that have Zoner stations. There is no reasonable way to get from the Omegas to the Taus without going through Bretonia. Freeport 1 is in Omega 3, a system with 2 jump gates.
Gallia has expressed intent in resuming hostilities with the Zoners. How are we supposed to get to Freeport 10/Baffin if you do this?
Wouldn't anyone playing as a "guard" vessel have said defensive ship already parked at the relevant freeport? I would care to note that instances of Zoner caps requesting to travel through Libertonian space are extremely rare already, which indicates there is either no need to do so, or the Zoner players are proceeding without bothering to get permission. I cannot speak on behalf of Bretonia, but I imagine they are in a similar situation.
Otherwise, you could just take the long way around through the Omicrons. If your Zoner neutrality doesn't protect you, then that would be bad luck, but surely you couldn't expect to travel across Sirius in a manner totally devoid of consequences?
If you're still desperate, you could just use a jump drive.
As far as Freeport 1, Freeport 6, and Ames are concerned, they could potentially warrant exceptions - but god forbid you might have to defend them with Gunboats or bombers!
