[Theoretical] Official Faction Challenge System

[Decktare]

Answer for yourself, are you ready to lose all those bases that you love? This will be the answer to your proposal.
You know, there are a lot of people who don't really love you. Will the proposed system turn against you?

At costs of thousands of scidata per attempt, it would take months for any significant change to unfold.

And maybe it will, but it will be fair. I can accept losing if its fair, it still makes for a fine story inrp. It jusy makes sense if there's an actual battle where something was on the line, no need to worry about balancing sides since sometimes thats the way it goes, and you need to fight to protect something anyways. I believe people can still have fun while actually having something to try for. Keeping it the way it is means temp logging for 'fun' yet its an RP server?

At least people would need to go through all they do to get a faction official, get ships, RP to get the sicdata, grind to buy it, or mine it themselves, which generates all sorts of trade and opprotunity to trade with purpose. People usually like that, and an important issue just might get you online. I'm sorry if people fear player conflicts but that really can't be a reason to keep the server lobotomized any longer. Players from every sport compete against each other on teams, that sometimes switch teams and yet they just accept it and deal. We can handle it here. With enough heads up each siege would either be a formality, or be bound to be a good big fight that could be reoccuring for a while.

No, it will be absolutely the same as it was with Dublin. You and your group cried very hard then, although your defeat was honest.
So all this is a lie. If people are ready to cry like that over PoBs, then imagine how disappointing it will be with real NPC assets.
