Official Factions

[Drake]

I think the idea is that, whatever the guidelines are, someone has to decide whether the player requesting a capship deserves it or not, which leads to bias and attempted dictatorship (theoretically, and in my experience, likely). Since there's no real way to codify the requirements to get a capship beyond 'so-and-so (or so-and-sos) is (are) in charge, what he (they) says goes', and Igiss has clearly said that he doesn't want people restricted from buying capships, the only real option is to let anyone buy them with no restrictions.

I have a question, though: Why does a discussion about the benefits of official factions vs. unofficial factions always come back to control of capships, when that one single thing has already been debated to death in hundreds of posts, and already has an official and final, and nearly unanimous, Admin decision?
