Does Disco still have enough player base to keep running all factions ?

[SnakThree]

Indie groups? In my mind 'indie' and 'unofficial' are interchangeable, especially if said 'unofficial' faction has no intention of becoming official. It's just a group of indie players who band together under one flag and faction, prescribing to a certain way of roleplaying their characters as said faction.

But if they join a group, do they still retain their independence?

Are Jumping Zoner members using their characters still indies?
How are they different from official faction members of OSI, who jump-trades as well?

Both sides chose to affiliate themselves to certain group and adhere to their regulations. JZ- has regulation that tagged Whales are not to be used for regular trading. OSI might have regulation while using their tag.
