Should official factions have more power?

[MacAulay]

Voted No on this one but that was mostly because there was no middle ground. I'll explain;

I think certain factions seem to believe they have omnipotent power as it is and those factions should probably be curbed to some degree. I would also argue that with some of these factions their power is often usued for all the wrong reasons.

In some areas of space I would like to see a few factions granted a little moe power, or should I say certain powers? There are areas that are becoming more or less lawless due to the influx of new indie pilots who feel they should not be bound by any rules but those they choose to agree with. In these cases I think a little more power to enforce laws etc would be welcome.

Also I think the granting of more powers should be a reward, not a right. If a faction is seen to be doings its job (policing their systems correctly, intercepting pirates and hostiles instead of just chatting to them or ignoring them), then they could maybe be granted more powers for increase their effectiveness in those roles if needed. Conversly, if they are seen to be not playing their role, using power for powers sake, or just abusing the privilages of their position as an official faction then you remove power from them until they prove they are responsible enough to use it wisely (much like taking a toy from a child untill he learns to play with it properly).

So like I said, voted NO but only for lack of a middle ground option
