Despite ore is sold only at house corporation/police bases, i oftenly see Zoner Whales or Zoner guard ID'd Storks hauling ores. Probably, those players try to avoid piracy using Zoner neutrality.
When i asked one to follow ID restrictions, he said that sees nothing wrong in that, because he sells that ore with help of F1 transfer or help of another player. That does not fit common sense. Shipping ore to house bases does not fit Zoner RP by itself.
I think, a rule, clarifying this point is needed. Your opinion?

That seems to be against the spirit of the rules, if not violating them precisely. That rule was implemented to prevent powertrading / make Zoner Guard RP relevant for transporting supplies to Freeports and other Zoner bases.
' Wrote:Probably, those players try to avoid piracy using Zoner neutrality.
There's hardly any "Zoner neutrality" of that sort these days. Any pirate with half a brain ought to realize that any given Zoner transport is just as susceptible to piracy as any other corporation transport.
Years ago, it may have been considered courteous to leave the Zoner traders alone. But after so many transports began flying as Zoners to avoid piracy, that "common courtesy" was disposed of. Pirates don't give Zoners special treatment anymore.

Hell ye. But problem is that exact individuals don't feel or dont want to feel that "spirit". And i see no way to stop them of doing so without clarification in ID card or Server Rules.
Shoot- you can always find a reason to kill a zoner.:yahoo:

describe in your own words - what "neutrality" zones actually enjoy
other than that....
a zoner whale may travel anything he likes anywhere he likes. he is as much in danger as any zoner in any other ship. - it is even totally in RP - if he hauls ore to a cooperation house base.
it may promote teamplay - of course .... if he gets friends there with a zoner ID ( not zoner guard ID ) that use lifters or smaller vessels to play the relaise from whale to base.
docking a zoner whale at such stations is a violation. - but hauling it is not

You don't chase them. You offer company, escort, scouting. Make them feel secure and confident. Then, when they want to transfer, you shoot the ore and gtfo.
Ruin their lives for practicing such a stupid way to trade.

I love you too but I prefer to shoot him first and find someone to haul the ore for me.:rolleyes:
However your approach is funny -I do the same when I see hegemons docking and leaving their ore in space in front of station.
