Official Faction Change Suggestions

[Piombo65]

Suggestion
Type: Rules / Economy
Title: HC responsibility more manageable (RTS)

Specifics

• HC factions manage a bunch of stuff like money, resources (game commodities or other), prestige, troops for wars (and warscores during wars)...
  
• HC decisions influence the variation of these resources. They can buy them, mine them, build them, sell them...
  
• There's also a "Max limit" to have these values, depending on systems/stations owned, type of government (Corporation, Paramilitary, Organized crime, profit/non-profit company...), power, prestige...
  
• Unofficial player factions have not this feature so they can't hold stations, systems and war eligibility but they can merge/collaborate with official ones.
  

Potential Problems

• I can't find them, maybe potential risk of RP-mutation to gain an advantage (A criminal organization could have a low max limit but they could increase it if they change their form of government in something "more legal")
  

Example of Effect
Faction A is an independent trade corporation who operates in B systems. As corporation it could have 5 maximum stations to hold (and currently it could have 1 of 5), 0/0 systems, 50.000 of 500.000 starting money, some resources to maintain their ships (Yes, even the monthly maintenance costs) and -5.000 to give to B for taxes (value set by RP). Doing some contracts with other companies (inRP) will create some monthly income, resource acquisition and/or a simple profit that must invest for other ships, equipment, resources, other contracts or territories (+1 station). While the members do the stuff (HC included if they want), the HC will have also a bit of paper to work. If the company goes in Bankrupt, the Official title is withdrawn.

Faction C is a military organization of the D House. It could have 1 of 5 systems, 2.000.000 of 1 bilion money, resources to maintain and build fleets (given by House corporations, bought somewhere...) and a bunch of Battlegroups to set in different D systems. Placing a battlegroup in a specific D system will cause variations about values like Resource gathering, crime, public opinion (in %?). Going war against another faction, E will have malus and/or bonuses about every parameter and every battle they do (Events? RP reports? Community events?) will use their parameters proportioning at their RP situation (231241342341 BS ingame at that event? There were just 20 inRP) and it will contribute at a warscore that shows at the start of the war (In another appropriate thread, with the list of opponements, battles, ships used...).

All this monitored by fixed threads in their OF sub-forum.

Further Discussion
Official factions need more responsibility and tasks to do to be more active. Managing their faction in a RP way, not only writing RP stuff but also managing internal and external politics that should be clear and simple instead searching the appropriate thread (usually lost in the middle of other posts).

TL;DR: "You imported/copied Paradox RTS games". Yes. Problems?
