one small thing says it all

[Hone]

Sure , I know a solution:
restrict indies to a freelancer and generic pirate ID.
problem solved.

Edit: Anaximander , I dunno if you changed over time , if that is the case ignore the following, but I remember you giving TBH such a difficult time on your indie , basically trying to rebel to every little thing we did.
I considered that disrespectful trolling.

Well, i am still not sure why perfectly fine indy factions with cool people and cool rp should be carted into official factions^^
I mean, they perfom just fine, add diversity don't cause trouble with anyone(ok, not all of them but you know )
As long as there is nothing at least tiny weeny bit worhtwhile for official factions they are the same as an unofficial one + the funny tracker.
So everyone is free to pick exactly his ideal faction from all available or make his own - and with probably 5 times more indy factions it is pure statistic that a player will find "his" faction to be an indy one.

Basically the question is a, are official factions still needed as they are more or less equal to anyone else, so you could scrap the distinction official/unofficial or
b, should concepts be developed to make officaldom actually worth it

As a member of only one official faction, and my longest running (indy) char being a direct enemy of that faction, I've seen both sides, and I've always actually had the ideal, that yes, only generic IDs would be used by indies.

However to balance this, a lot more would have to be given to the generic IDs - E.G: Allow FL to do everything he could in SP, such as pirate. Official factions would have to be more lenient - E.G: Only NOT letting someone in if they have a reason to, rather than the guy having to give them a reason to let them join, and only telling members not to do stuff if it's against the npc faction's RP. And factions should get more powers, E.G: Handling their own FR5s.


This is obviously quite radical, so i dont expect it anytime soon.
