Good luck with this. This topic was discussed so many times over the years...and nothing changed. There is quite easy way how to make official factions more appealing - you need to give them real benefits over indies. Better equipment, better ships, more privileges and so on. It does not have to be much even, like 10-20 % stronger armors or power cores or cargo limit, little bigger ZOI and such. But that will never happen because Disco staff took road of equality and advantages which official factions have are something like sugar coating on the cake. It is nice to have it, but it tastes well enough even without it and you get benefit of very limited accountability for your actions as a huge bonus.

Can't find a single one that fits there sorry, maybe I'm missing some.
Xenos, Unioners, Liberty Rogues, Gaians, Golden Chrystanthemums, LWB, all police and intelligence factions...I could go on. All these can´t have battleships and thus are in troubles with killing bases. Some of them can´t have even cruisers.
