Garret, give us official factions a few days to go over our lists again.
Many of these lists were not taken too seriously, just because (for most factions) they never change.
In general, I agree with the decision to have an eye on the diplomacy development.
I am not THAT fond of doing it via the FR5 process because FR5 (when worse than no-dock) carries game-breaking consequences in many many cases for the faction hit with the FR5 (via NPC empathy settings).
Therefore, I suggest using FR5s very carefully.
Furthermore, diplomacy changes should never be done in the heat of the moment. E.g. pushing out tons of FR5s against Core atm because there is some Delta fun would be wrong, in my opinion. Not every shot transport is a reason for full-blown hostility - look at real life politics: e.g. Turkey-Russia after the plane was downed... a classic "roleplay" consequence, likely even short of a no-docking rephack. Sorry for RL comparison, but it somewhat comes to the mind intuitively.
tldr:
> Factions need a few days to get their pages up to date. That's essential. And these things need discussions between factions and HQs, etc. So... I suggest Sunday. There is no hurry in it, is there?
> Please don't make FR5s a frequent thing, and be aware of game breaking "rep to red" FR5s via empathy.
