So now you have a bright flashy Zoner Guard IFF. Then you truck all the way to 74, having to ask questions and directions from "real" Zoners all the way, because you don't truely have a clue what Zoners are about, probably not even having read the regular Zoner ID you may or may not have picked up to make the trek..
Then once some sympathetic OSI or ZTC ship has guided your arse through the minefield, you slap on that shiney new Zoner Guard ID, probably not bothering to actually study it either, and head for the nearest Whale dealer.
"ZOMG", that was easy! I R Zoner nau!"
Congratulations! Now what...?
No kidding, eh? While I did hate being stuck in a BWT, I still played the part of a regular Zoner FIRST. Not only does this help to get many hot spots into your map, but also good routes to take. I, for one, would lead a brand new Zoner Guard deep into Nomad space before leading them to 74 if this is how they got it. If they did it right then they should have 74 in their map already.
