500 mil is pocket change. Whats the minimum amount of members a faction can have before it can own a system? Im not sure. But most factions anyway have at least 10 players thats 50 mil each. You can trade that within a couple of hours. You pay 500 mil and you get to create a system basically in your image. Name Planets and Bases the way you wish, within reason of corse. You couldnt name somthing Planet Underpants...obviously. And it may have been fine a long time ago when most NPC factions only had one official clan to say they have control over indies and non official factions. But theres alot more players now aswell as factions. Times change and our views on the way things should be have to change to accomidate everyone.
