Official Factions

[Reverend Del]

Okay so you can't make folks dance to your whims, you can stop them behaving like idiots though. Look at the LN's capship policy, no need to sign on any line, just if you do you get incentives and treated like the official faction. And given the rules are very simple, and based around the concept of fairplay and adherence to the server rules, enforcing it is allowed.

Dab if you do not own the system then any system made MUST be in accordance with the Mod. A system owning faction gets to mold their system to their RP. Any other system is molded to the overall RP.

Official factions get to set policy that can and has shaped the way Disco works and plays. The entirety of the RM's RP is not as vanilla but it is pretty much set in stone as discovery canon, and they couldn't have done that without being official.

Official factions should set an example of how a faction plays, not be determined to dictate how the NPC faction should be run.

The XA bought and designed Tau-45 not for themselves but for the Xenos as a whole, one of our overriding desires was to have Xeno use ships placed within for all Xenos to be able to buy, not just the XA.

The same ethos was used when designing Cassini, I don't want to keep Indy LR out of Cassini, it's their guard system too. Just because I currently own it, doesn't mean others shouldn't be able to use it.

Yes Official Factions are generally favoured over unofficial ones. Why? Because they set the tone of the RP on Discovery. Factions create guidelines that folks tend to follow. Official factions can set laws within their ZOI. And then they can enforce them. They can also grant the right for others to enforce them. Official factions are valid, and frankly I've not heard much complaint about this from many faction leaders other than the 101st. So if anyone really does have a complaint, feel free to PM me. I'm listening.
