"New faction creation process and representation" discussion thread.

[Linkus]

Sorry, the forum doesn't like lots of spaces unfortunately, re-did my post to make more sense though.

I just wanted to point out that honestly, it is very simple.

A council would exist for every faction but it will be simply one faction for most NPC factions. That's perfectly fine. There's no reason to worry about the Council not being neccessary for every faction, they won't be but instead of creating lots of exceptions, just let it flow naturally into it.

The Idea is that an Official faction can't completely take over an NPC faction simply because they got there first. If a player faction exists and is the only one in the Council, they have the power and control that you want for them Spear and many others.
However, once another Un-Official Faction/Group comes along and gets Officialised, the Player faction that has already been in the Council on it's own for ages will now have to share it.
They both will have a say in how to control the non-Official players (Including indies and groups etc) now.

The method of Official faction proposals are a different matter than this Council thing. While related, the actual proposals are seperate.

The 500 million is currently put up against a System Purchase or a Barge now. It could probably be put towards other things too.

I'm going to make a proper post consolidating all my thoughts on this properly, without the holes having to be filled in with later posts, far simpler >.<
