Should official factions have more power?

[me_b_kevin]

i voted yes.

i think there should be some benefit to being official. however, the limits of their "power" should be finite and well defined.

individual interpretation of rules, while giving more freedom to the players, seems to only cause more headaches in the long run. this has been evident in the past on numerous occasions and with a our large server population, a large portion of which that don't visit the forums, we need these rules well defined and with a minimum of loop holes. this way people know what to expect, instead of the "it depends on who you talk too" type situations.

for example: Capship Registration, i remember a big stink being raised over this a while back. in order to avoid these long drawn out threads that either end in an arguing match or dissolve into mindless nonsense (which can be thoroughly enjoyable...but that's beside the point), the list of official powers should be thorough and dynamic. it should list the powers they have and explain them, possibly giving examples to put them into context. the list should be left open to add any new situation that weren't originally thought of, each new addition being thoroughly explained as well.

i've never ran a faction and have only recently joined one, so my experience in this matter is close to none. i'm basing my opinions on theory...so i'm not sure how much weight they hold.
