I would rather say: give somthing to the people- charm them if you need more of them into your faction.
All what we see from some ,,packs,, is restrictions, kind o' childish ,,RP,, n so. If the offical factions needs more palyers than they should GIVE things. not only take and give restrictions.
If any offical faction needs members: than it should open its gates instead of whinning about stuff. If you make it too hard for a newcomer to join you than a superbattleshipcarrierjuggernoutgodknowswhat will not charm them there. It will be used by the leader and his best 2 pals, who already has enough privileges.
and one wery last thing: you cannot realyl decide the quality of rp. I know pople who is a lot more (serious) Roleplayers than some of the known forum trolls, just hates to move on the forums since Roleplayers I mean the ones who ,,learnt,, this Rp thing by tables and not while playing Diablo2 and Shadowrun on Xbox360, so the real Rpers are playing with one or a few cahracters instead of dozens, and they are more likely an actor than a bookwriter. Playing with dozens of chars on several (opposing) faction sides is somthign what is okey here but is un-imaginable under a real roleplaying event or system. You cant be DarthVader and Luke Skyloller at the same time fighting yourself unless you are ready to be laughed out by Yoda, since you are only liein on the floor of his hut fighting with your inner daemons.
I could talk about multi factioning, power gaming and meta stuffs here but that would be out of this topic: what belongs to here is: no matter that X or Y has 10 leader characters in a faction what he made with his 5 mates: they dont deserve an own superduper battleship (or ten). Just because someone thinks roleplaying looks like writeing a book instead of beeing an actor no superbattleships or megapowercoredrainer rockets would help him to become valuable or charm 10 more cannonfodder to make his faction look like a powerful one.
Admins should try to stop multi factioning and meta gamers to make the space become an RP universe instead of a ,,shooting game with basic rp included,, with adding even bigger ships to the hands of people (who are already at war with theirselves since they controlls their own enemys aswell).
Cmon. Start playing. Start some rp and a character and check what it evolves after time instead of playing on ,,both sides of the force,,. But I know till admins and people in keypositions ar doing the wery same thing noone will wait for the newcomers and noobies to realize what RP is about. They will sjtu join the faction what killed them last time. Stockholme-syndrome. That is the main rule what controlls this galaxy. Pff
