Should official factions have more power?

[Eppy]

Bluntly, yes.

Official factions need their balls back. Specifically, we need control - yes, TOTAL control - of our guard systems back. The right to arbitrarily deny anyone entry, regardless of alignment, and to destroy anybody who violates whatever controls we impose on our space. The only thing 'official' about us is cosmetics. We did some stupid things back in the heady days when the server started expanding, but we've all certainly learned how not to govern a faction and now we find ourselves with virtually no purpose; we're quite like the Red Hat Society. We look kind of stylish, but we don't do anything. We shoot. We pirate. We get luld at by our own people. When I was still a fascist dictator it was considered acceptable to blow people up for lulzing at you; this is another thing that should be looked at. Pilots in a military or police or what have you setting should be marginally subject to the authority of the official factions because a lot of indies tend to preclude factional authority, and, by extension, factional RP, which I think by its very nature takes precedence over indie RP.
