They're probably in areas unmapped, or they were destroyed before Freelancer Original took place
Lots of people died there. Did you see USA rebuilding WTC? No, they're building something instead on it's place as memorium. Why Zoners cant do same or just leave place? And yes, wait for 4.86 and rebuild it yourself. About numerical freeports I believe Ames is Freeport 3 and Corfu being Freeport 8

Ames Research Station is Freeport 3, if you go by the time line. As for 8, 12, & 13? Mere numbering selection by the development team. I recall one of the developers saying it had to do with the fact that vanilla Freeports were all numbered using prime numbers but I know 10 and 6 are vanilla and they aren't prime numbers. When this question is encountered in game, my characters hint that the missing numbers are in uncharted space, as Salfon suggested.
Zoner NFZ is a player invention and a serious nuissance. GMG wouldn't put up with a NFZ in the Sigmas that is being used to hide our enemies. The base would get leveled again despite the "alliance". If FP does get rebuilt in the Sigmas the GMG| faction will not acknowledge a NFZ.
