There's AX Conflict Zone right on top of Aegis Defence Megaship in Evangelis\Witch Head Nebula.
Very cool. You can get shot on the landing pad (without damage ofc). Interceptor energy surge can turn your systems off when you're browsing station panel, quite exciting.

Unfortunately, you get fined for violating No Fire Zone every time you shoot.
You get destroyed? Closest Penitentiary is in Pleiades...

This needs to be a permanent 'thing' and remove the NFZ.

I'd also like to see this at the Rescue ships, but I get that other Commanders might not be too happy with that.

Thats more like it FD! Loose the NFZ and we are cooking with gas!

It makes you realize how more interesting combat is when there are some obstacles.
Shooting eachother in empty space is sooo boring.

Does the station at least fire at the Thargoids?... you know, for... violating the NFZ?

That'd be a funny newspeak for a casus belli: "Iran shot a firecracker inside the US no-fire-zone. Trump sends drones into theirs."

EDIT: on a serious note, IF the NFZ should be removed, it should perdure against human ships. So you may shoot in the zone, but if your shot lands on a human ship, you're toast.

Why not for as long as you have a chance to avoid being instagibbed by running cool and dodging the buggers.

What and risk triggering world war 6 ?.

meanwhile the megaship is destroyed by thargoid scouts with its mega win cannons able to tear a new hole in any ship loitering a landing pad safely retracted

Just remove no fire zones completely as shooting a none wanted ship already carries a bounty.

The fine from no fire zones is pretty superfluous.

The station/megaship shouldn't fire at you for a fine though, only if you get a bounty, did you shoot the megaship by mistake?

Ah wait, I see, you got a fine for the no fire zone, then got destroyed in combat with thargoids, which, because if the fine, sent you to a penal ship.

To be honest, I don't think fines should even do that, only bounties, it should just make you pay the fine, no penal ship needed.

They don't need to retract any guns, just don't fine anyone for shooting while Thargoids are nearby.
I don't think they fine Thargoids anyway ... or do they...?

Anyway, that's nothing some small seismic charges couldn't handle (if we had any) right?

I'm a good natured CMDR. When damsel in distress I'm very likely to help. But if said damsel, while being rescued, starts <acting as a spoiled child, synonym to female canine; with -ing> about how she displeases weapons visuals, me being civilized, behaving properly and addressing her with proper dignity; all while under heavy fire I'm very likely to aplogize, step aside and simply observe...

AS SHE AND HER WHOLE WORLD BURN.
I'll even provide extra wood.

If you're under attack you're in no position to make demands. If you insist - feel free coping with your problem yourself. kthxby, farewell and have a nice day.

I have a question about this. Can you pay off your bounty at intersteller faction of a station that would otherwise send you to a penal ship if you paid through authority contact?

Back on topic are zny of the burning stations useful for grinding empire rank currently?

It would be great if Fdev could turn NFZ off, but somehow I doubt that they can.
I don't think this is AX CZ is intentional - it's no rescue scenario, but rather it just happened that megaship and Conflict Zone were spawned in the same location.
I'm afraid that Fd solution might be to move one of the other away, if they decide to do something.
Actually, I think that creating prison ship in Witch Head Nebula would be better.

Yes, I've had this with normal CZs, actually followed NPCs out of a station and into a CZ (all in normal space).
I thought it was a new 'thing' but alas, no.
(haven't seen it since).

They did for the Gnosis, eventually, but IIRC you still got pinged for hitting it. So should be doable.

You don't need interstallar factor to pay that fine for violating NFZ - you just need to land on the megaship's pad and pay your fines. The problem is that you might be destroyed by Thargoids before you're able to do that and in this case you are sent some 600Ly away to closest prison.

Quite a while back FD did remove the nfz around a megaship event because of exactly same situation with people being attacked by thargoids before even getting off the landing pad and getting grief from the megaship for fighting back. So they can do it
