For a long time Zoners have been the subject of many discussions about what Zoners are and what they can do. One recurring theme has been in regards to their own laws and the NFZ’s around Freeports and Zoner stations.
Many believe they should not exist and many are thankful that they do exist. With that said, and for quite some time now, Zoners (Represented by the CoF - which every Freeport/Zoner station Administrator is a part of, and including the Zoner Official Factions) have been united in overarching discussion and agreement regarding these zones.
The crux of the problem faced is that Zoners do not have the capability to enforce their own laws. They can say "Don't break our NFZ!" but that's it. Only words, but if they try to act on enforcing their laws it is an ID break unless someone engages a Zoner ship or Station.
Given evolving circumstances, the Admin team have discussed and voted to evolve the Zoners ability to be able to enforce their laws. Before everyone goes up in arms, it was also discussed that due to the potential abuse of the following ID change, this will only be implemented for Official Zoner Factions only. As it stands, the following line will be added to Official Zoner Faction ID's thus mirroring the line in some other Official ID’s:
- Can enforce the Laws of the CoF within systems containing a Zoner base
