Should official factions have more power?

[Athenian]

@ Linkus: You don't have to climb ranks in all factions to gain access to a capital ship. I couldn't care less what people choose to fly so long as they don't act like nubtards when they play.

from a skype chat
[01:18:40] (Athenian) aka Colm: What more powers could factions have?
[01:18:45] (Athenian) aka Colm: honestly
[01:19:00] Dusty Lens: 1) Controll over the remote
2) First call to the fridge
[01:19:35] (Athenian) aka Colm: aside from **** registration threads and paranoia over the fact that someone else is in a spaceship associated with the faction
[01:19:48] Dan K (Tazuras): more control over indies?
[01:20:05] (Athenian) aka Colm: You cant ever control people
[01:20:20] (Athenian) aka Colm: without making yourself look like a ****
[01:20:21] Dan K (Tazuras): you can if you threaten them, sometimes...
[01:20:25] Dan K (Tazuras): heh
[01:20:31] Dan K (Tazuras): >>edited<<
[01:20:32] (Athenian) aka Colm: Threats alienate and antagonise people
[01:20:40] Dan K (Tazuras): >>edited<<
[01:21:05] (Athenian) aka Colm: so give faction leaders the power to impose sanctions when they want
[01:21:12] Dan K (Tazuras): oh gosh no
[01:21:47] (Athenian) aka Colm: "Player X has flown a gunboat into our furball. account IP banned. **** squad sent to his mothers house."
[01:21:47] Dusty Lens: [01:21] (Athenian) aka Colm: so give faction leaders the power to impose sanctions when they want

<<<
[01:22:28] Dan K (Tazuras): give them power to change ID's from a faction ID to a new ID that is a rogue faction ID and has a different set of rules!
[01:22:53] Dan K (Tazuras): so there will be rogues LN's and rogue orders and rogue everyone else
[01:22:56] Dan K (Tazuras): mwahahaahaha
[01:23:09] Dan K (Tazuras): rogue rogues!
[01:23:18] (Athenian) aka Colm: "Player Y wasnt inspiring enough in his cruiser. Fined all credits. Parcel of anthrax sent to his house. Eat ****t buddy!"
[01:23:28] (Athenian) aka Colm: I like the idea of rogue IDs
[01:23:41] (Athenian) aka Colm: but players could just ditch them
[01:23:49] Dan K (Tazuras): they would be Locked!
[01:23:53] Dan K (Tazuras): i dunno
[01:24:21] Dan K (Tazuras): i thought there was an outlaw ID at one point that was if you got sanctionsed or something that you couldnt ditch...
[01:26:33] (Athenian) aka Colm: i like it
...........
[01:27:36] Dan K (Tazuras): well... I know you cant launch without a scanner... soo you could make another slot that was like a scanner slot that started out with a blank item but could be turned into a rogue ID with some sort of command, so if you ditched it you couldnt launch that character...
[01:27:47] Dan K (Tazuras): and you wuold have to delete it...
[01:28:00] Dan K (Tazuras): of course this would be printed on the ID
[01:29:59] Dan K (Tazuras): are you posting my idea?
[01:30:24] (Athenian) aka Colm: its a great idea
[01:30:35] (Athenian) aka Colm: I declare you rogue
[01:30:38] Dan K (Tazuras): heh, alright, just give me credit if you would please
[01:30:43] (Athenian) aka Colm: you post it
[01:30:48] Dan K (Tazuras): either way
[01:30:55] Dan K (Tazuras): I'll post it if you want
[01:31:03] (Athenian) aka Colm: ill cut and paste this into it
[01:31:08] Dan K (Tazuras): yay!
[01:31:20] Dan K (Tazuras): you are now officially awesome
[01:31:32] Dan K (Tazuras): i thought so before, but now i know for sure
