Should official factions have more power?

[Carlos_Benitez]

I don't really understand the question, and yes, I have read everyone else's posts.
As a Corsair, I don't really see how we could have more or less power in the factions.
Issues like Capital ship restriction were abandoned because they were impossible to enforce. The only power at the disposal of the factions is their weapons, but what other power is there? If someone doesn't comply with your capital-ship restriction bill, what is there to do other than shoot them?
You kill them, they respawn, and no progress is made.

I don't believe the factions CAN have more power. What power exists that they can be given? The power to wield the banhammer? -that's insane.
