Once again, ignoring my main point and commenting on a side one...
That's awesome, I love to see that. But 99% of the time that is not how it happens. There's nothing wrong with trading, /givecashing, and buying your BS, factionalized or not. No. But I really think (my main point here, that no one has even touched) it's not cool that this is the only way it's ever possible to fund one. The LH flagship was undoubtedly funded from pirating from multiple parties. This is awesome, but it's also very seldom done, and unrealistic to most players (in game mechanics, not RP of course). What we need are different ways of income. Sure we've got pirating, taking bounties, etc. But really, I'm lucky if I scare up a few million every 30 minutes or so (though I can't do the Sigmas with mine). A trader can make multiples of that in the same amount of time, and do it consistently.
Why can't we have harder, better paying missions? Really?
