New Zoner ID updates, Order/Zoner relations updates

[Pavel]

Effective immediately, the Zoner ID now reads as:

Pilot carrying this quasi-lawful ID is a Zoner, who:

- Can attack any ship in self-defense, to protect another Zoner ship, or in defense of Zoner bases.
- Cannot dock Cruisers and Battleships on any base within House Sovereign Space.
- Cannot dock transports with more than 3,600 cargo on any base within House Sovereign Space.
- Cannot participate in unlawful actions except as described above.

Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Transports, Gunboats, Cruisers, Battleships

The update was introduced to fix bugged restrictions, nerf restrictions exclusions deemed overpowered and avoid confusion among players. The Admin Team believes this wording will be clear and obvious enough for all flying with the Zoner ID.

And last but not least, a new plugin has been coded in order to save everyone some trouble with this.
Ships flying with the Zoner ID or the TAZ ID will now live with the following:

- You are unable to dock in House Sovereign Space (See the rules for the entire list of systems affected) if your ship has a total cargo space equal or greater than 3600 units.
- You are unable to dock in House Sovereign Space if you are flying any Capital Ship ranging from Destroyer to Carrier.

The Zoner/Order rephacks have been set to Neutral, as justified in this CNS Broadcast: http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=131516.
The TAZ has also been split from the rest of the Zoners in order to solve the situation using the new player IFF system. The Order is now hostile to the TAZ only and TAZ to Order.

Here are the listed systems

So, if I am reading the OP correctly, Zoner gunboats are able to dock in House space?

Aren't they allowed to anyway?

They always have been able to.

Alley was right.

[Jansen]

They always could do that. The restriction was for Cruisers, Battleships and bigger transports.

What exactly is so overpowered by giving zoners the ability to dock on GMG bases? It's been there for ages, even when we've had 400 population per 24hours.

I see no such line in the OP... Or I'm blind.



Also, it would be nice if someone could fix rep for everyone who has Order ID. There is no base for them to get a Zoner bribe.

Zoner destroyers, battleships and transports over 3600 cargo used to be able to dock on IMG, GMG and Zoner bases within sovereign house space, the OP shows that this will no longer be the case. This shouldn't pose too much of a problem as there is no Zoner base in sovereign house space anyway and the GMG and IMG bases in house space can still be accessed by transports with less than 3600 cargo space.

Bethleihem is inside Liberty Space. What about this one?
