The 369th Mist Fleet of the Liberty Lane Hackers

[Reverend Del]

This is completely unecessary in it's current form. I can tell you know it will not get approval if it goes for official status for the following reasons:

1) Yet another Liberty Unlawful faction. Liberty has four official and untold dozens of unofficial. It simply doesn't need another one.

2) It's yet another "We don't pirate" faction operating under the flag of an NPC faction which does pirate. The HF exist because they do it well and have been doing it well for a while. Another isn't needed.

3) It's a Hacker faction because it can't be a Xeno one, there's nothing here that suggests to me that you're not using the Hackers simply because you have to use something. Hacker doesn't fit this concept at all.

Finally it's just another pew pew the lawfuls faction with an attempt at some make-up and a posh frock. Liberty Lawfuls deal with enough crap as it stands. This will not address the balance it will simply make things worse.

Edit: Noticed the post before mine, if you are going to pirate then you are just another Hacker faction, with exactly the same goals as the current one, that one does just fine thanks, and isn't a big enough NPC faction to justify two near identical factions existing through it.

In short I suggest you scrap this concept and concentrate on something different, or better yet join the existing Hacker faction.

Leading a faction has no kudos attached to it anymore, used to be faction leaders were respected but now we're all seen as monstrous oppressors of the independent populace. Added to that it's a lot of hard work for no tangible gain. The only rewards I get from leading my Rogues is the thanks of my Rogues and the lack of folks whining about my Rogues. It's largely a headache without gain. Why folks feel the need to create a faction I'll never understand. I didn't make the LR because I wanted to per se, I made it because the last one went under and Liberty without Rogues isn't right. And even then I didn't make it, Niezck did and dumped it on my head after two weeks. That was how I "lucked" into my position. Ask any competent faction leader, how much work needs doing each day before you get in game and what happens to a faction if you don't get in game and don't have Phate or Sindroms in your faction. Without leadership presence factions die. Quick.
