' Wrote:I agree with BlueSpawn, the Zoners are an aggregate of various different types of people that all rejected the core systems' way of thinking - this includes militarism. The Zoners embrace individuality, not the conformism of a system of rigid ranks. Besides, the Zoners do not field fleets of military ships, they happen to field ships with other uses that just happened to be armed well, as they live in the dangerous border worlds.
Your idea is good, but military ranks don't fit as the Zoners wouldn't embrace a large vestige of what they had just abandoned.
It is true that Zoners left the houses to be free of all the government bureaucracy. But for Zoners to all agree to make a group with rules and structure doesn't necessarily equate to the same thing. In the Houses there are social norms, government regulations and yes, militaristic goals that constrict others and this is the reason why Zoners left their respective houses. This doesn't exactly mean however that the plan of an organized force is seen with contempt. Its all about the ideals and whether or not it is just to them.
I know this has been said already but I would like to put my 2 cents in here on the issue as it seems people still have this assumption of "too many Zoner factions"
By the same token I would say there are too many Liberty based factions or too many Bretonian based factions. Zoners arnt a unified faction, they are a denomination of people much like you would say a Libertorian or a Bretonian. To think them as a unified body merely because Zoners are generalized into one NPC faction is both foolish and ignorant.
Others may say different. But this is what i have seen and experienced in both Vanilla and discovery in five years of playing this game.

I must admit that I still don't read all post in topic about rule one ID one faction, but from that what I read you have right. This idea is good for ID's like Rheinland Military or Liberty Navy, bur Zoners for example (Junkers to I think) are specific faction. Yes I know we have 3 Zoners factions, but still there is a place for one maybe two or three more there...
Also , I just would like to say something as a High Member of PC. You may think that we are new, looking at the date of the first post. But you couldnt be more wrong. PC as 'flying tagged vessels' is now almost 3 years old. Dont believe me ? Ask other Zoners, which now are official status.
Why we havent wrote such thing before? Because at the beginning we were totally green. And we do have one rule: 'Do something good, or not do at all' . Time has come to do things like they should look like. We are sure about our RP skills, and we feel that now is the moment to show this to public.
So please, save yourself all this 'another zoner faction' cause honestly, its getting boring to read such things all the time also as it goes for OCs, Corsairs etc. Play your game, we will play ours.
Thank you all for the feedback in here, we do really appreciate this !
