Why do they have to be super?
Why can't, Kishiro as you said, just get a special transport. One that's perhaps slightly better than say, the Ryujiin. Slightly
Not enough to go 'Oh hey I want that ship lemme join!', but something to benefit members.
Take the ALG Mover for example.
I can't really see any other reason other than RP that you'd want that ship. It looks kinda cool, and you HAVE to be in ALG to have it.
Yes, I know you don't have to be in the Faction, but how many ALG players do you see? Let alone flying them.
Corporations even more than PVP based factions.
What's a good reason to join a Corp right now?
*thinks hard*
Convoys?
Yeah. Right. Sure.
I say more power to the Official Factions. They're the ones driving development in the first place, both RP wise and Mod wise, so why the hell not?
Oh, and with these only slightly pimped ships I suggest, I don't see any problem with the factions handing them out to indies that apply for them.
