Faction Officialdom

[Hokan]

This change makes no sense. What makes a faction "be around"? Let's say I want to make a faction. I make a forum post that has the faction concept in it, make one ship that has the tag in its name and let it sit untouched for 3 months. Technically, the faction "has been around" for 3 months now, allowing me to apply for officialdom.

I see why the request cooldown is there, but the initial wait time to apply for officialdom needs to be removed again. 500 Million Credits is enough of a barrier to discourage trolls and generally low-quality factions from applying. In addition, the wait time until the faction finally gains officialdom is long enough.

As others have pointed out before, the times of 128/128 players are gone. The demograph of players interested in Freelancer/Discovery becomes older and more busy with life. Artificial """motivations""" to play make the game feel like work and do the exact opposite of what you think it does. It makes players lose all interest in playing.
