Consultation: Revised system for official factions

[The_Godslayer]

In roleplay sure, in practice, it's a thing you siege

The other side of it is spawning a random core 1 is just utterly worthless to K'Hara at the very least. If I spawn a random Nomad Core 1,

2.3- All IDs can:
Attack Alien IDs.

and every single faction in Sirius will arrive to kill it with no noticeable resistance because Nomads simply do not have that number of players. If you up the Core level, it becomes horribly overpowered for factions with little to no direct resistance. GC- spawning a random Core 2 or 3 is effectively the same as having an NPC base because there's not ever going to be enough KNF to siege it down.

There are plans to create a module allowing rearmament on a POB. It stands to reason that FDS would be fitted with such from the get go, with perhaps minor 'rearmaments' needing to be supplied every now and then to keep it stocked. Technical details are still up in the air.

Nomads may still be the only transportless faction, in which case I am only arguing this from K'Hara's perspective and its one faction down for literally every other one to be brought up. But powertrading on Ishtars is still 1700 cargo space, and ultimately is a terrible answer at least for us.
