Consultation: Revised system for official factions

[Lord Caedus]

Ironically, I can't currently see a huge benefit of the forward base. It's quite neat, but there are already plenty of opportunities for conflict within the current ZOI of factions who may want to take advantage of this perk. Interestingly, this perk also seems to encourage RP that is at odds with established faction canon - since if you're going somewhere where you don't have ZOI, what are you doing there? It should open up some creative scenarios, but I hope that these will not be shot down too often, thus rendering the perk meaningless.

As someone that's leading an intel faction, I can tell you that this concept has me very intrigued. GNI performing some RP with a local faction (Mollys are a good example) to establish a logical basis for one of these FDSs and then being able to plop down a base in say, Leeds (or possibly New London or Dublin) opens up a lot of RP opportunity as well as giving us more availability to actually have PvP with groups that are meant to be our adversaries.
