1 Faction per ID rule

[shemkel]

I vote "keep it" unless there will be some major changes in IDs.

1. If the faction wants to get official, it should be mature. If we remove this rule, it'll start raining new factions.
2. If the faction get's mature enough to get official and it wants to get official, it can get it's own ID.
3. Most of problems might be solved by adding some corporate IDs like "trading company", "mining company" etc. or tweaking IDs that already exists.
4. If this rule was removed, I can already see situations like (example) "Oh, screw JihadJoe, I'm gonna make my own Liberty Navy".
5. If your RP is good enough, you can build up your factions so it's recognised no matter the ID. You can ask Admins for permission to use ID but with some slight exceptions and such.

Generally, in my personal opinion, the best solution would be to add few more generic IDs so new factions could use it and then, when those factions gets mature and responsible, giv 'em own ID.

I know some of you might not like it, but believe me - I had hell of a headache with Corona Battlegroup as no IDs suited us. After some changes, some better and worse ideas etc. now I know that there's lot of work to do before CB will be ready to either die or become strong and official. Now we use 4(!) different IDs - Merc for snubs and GBs, Zoner/ZG for transports and caps and Researcher for science vessels. And it's really no big deal.

So... I admit that there is a problem to be solved. But it's not this rule.
