Should official factions have more power?

[Birdtalon]

A bit contradictory! Official factions have more power as they are part of the community? So is every indie pilot and unofficial faction unless I am mistaken? Take out the latter and the official factions would have bugger all to do with the power you give them. Also, it is the indie/unofficial that are directly effected by the powers granted to officials, they are not only PART of the community but in many ways an essential PART of it.

As to your second point I believe we are not debating more power for unofficial factions anyway! Cos even I wouldnt be stupid enough to grant it to the majority of them:)

I suppose. But it is true that indies don't really get a voice as the official factions own everything and have more weight in what they say. All the more reason to join an Offical faction.

But in RP, would there really be i.e. Indie Liberty navy outside of the LN organisation? and even if there was would they have a say in anything?
