Can't we return the old perk that all official intel factions got which was the removal of the cruiser line? Before the whole debacle with the LSF cruisers attacking outside their ZoI, all official intel factions could attack with cruisers+ outside their ZoI, which I think was a nice addition for them above their indie counterparts, like Order indies and Order|.
Otherwise, I really don't see what the whole point of being an official intelligence faction is when you have nothing over your indie counterparts. In fact, the BIS indie and official ID are exactly the same, as well as the LSF indie and official IDs, barring some unusual grammar choices.
Standardizing is nice, but the clause that allowed officials to use cruisers freely outside their ZoI was removed almost silently, and it really should come back. Other than all of that, it's nice.
