[color=#CC6666]Recently i went to the nearest Freeport to buy some ZT43-5 "Fury 5" Zoner Photon Blasters for my ship like i did in past and was repeating from time to time in last years.
Imagine my surprise when equipment dealer told me this is not something he can sell anymore without Zoner administration permission, of any kind.
So, uh, who can give that permission? I guess it also costs more now. Oh well. Life sucks.

You will have to send a more specific channel. The ones you need to ask are the Omicroners or the TAZ, run of the mill guard captains do not have the clearence for outside permissions. Yes, the new dispatchers are quite strict, diplomacy took a turn for the worse.

I guess the first thing to do is to talk about yourself: who you are, why you want zoners gun instead of other guns, what you are going to do with the zoners equipement, etc...
Good luck in the process.
[color=#CC6666]I didn't send this message because of loneliness and no people around to talk.
Why would you need to know about me? That is, why do you need to know more than that i want to buy your guns? Oh, and i plan to shoot ships with them. And it's not like you'll "enable me to kill" with that, just because there are many other weapons i can use for it already.
So, nothing will change, except for your wallet.
And by the way, i certainly don't think that TAZ is the salvation army. Looks more like asylum to me. If you know what i mean.
We dont give out our toys to people we dont know. Maybe you had them in the past - but that dosnt really mean much, because everything changes in time.
Maybe back then you were young, idealistic, and bright eyed - offering to escort traders for a pittance out of charity or goodness in your heart. Maybe now your a cold, bitter, murderer who doesnt care who he shoots up for a paycheck. Maybe thats something we care about.
Either way, how are we to know anything you say might just be honeyed words, when actions will be different?
I would suggest a certain degree of respect next time you ask for something. You sound as if Zoner tech is owed to you.
So lets help you out, hmm?
First - your name - Real Name - not some merc handle.
Second, I suggest youll be killing folks with these guns - Tell us who you routinely work for, and why. "For the credits" is not a sufficient answer.
We'd like some history about you - maybe where you grew up, who your folks were, why you started merc'ing, etc.
And we'd like a "Please" and "Thank you" - since the TAZ have som ability to grant your request, calling them crazy isnt the best means of getting them to give you things.
Hope this helps. Not like your continued ability to murder for money is something I wish to expedite.
