Do you think it's a good idea?
Official factions would recieve some money each week with which they could hire their pilots, removing the need to ooRP transfer money from your trader. Number of traders wouldn't be affected as indies and people saving up for capships would still need to trade, so pirates wouldn't be affected.
This would promote official factions and help RP.... I think.

Oh HELL no!
If a faction can't support themselves then they need to die off

*shrugs* I don't see how this would help, say, the IND, which can buy the whole Sirius five times over.

I voted 'no'. The solution to the funding problem lies less in handing money to factions as it does in making trading profitable enough to be able to maintain your existing characters without having to trade for hours on end.

Not to mention this would be unfair to independent players. Why should they be "forced" into a faction like this?
Why should factions have it easy?

I'd say no, with the organized numbers a official faction has it would take one convoy trade run to feed it for a week.

I saw this:
Seth Wrote:So I was thinking, why don't Official Factions get given a set amount of money per week from the admins? They can then use this money to employ their members, allowing them to restock their fighters etc etc without having to transfer money from a trader (Which is kinda ooRP when you think about it)It's also oorp to receive money from oorp entities. ...Factions shouldn't survive by charity. If a faction looses the ability to support itself by its own members then it needs to wither & die. something will replace it in time

I asked you to READ the other thread!
The point was that factions like the LN would recieve money from taxes etc to support it. Factions like the Outcasts would recieve the money from Cardi sales...
