Faction power

[Ceoran]

1. I'm not sure if this was before your time, but at one moment there were always multiple factions for a single NPC faction. Never more than one for House Militaristic or Police, following a single chain of command when dealing with those politics will always do wonders. Other factions such as Zoners, Bounty Hunters, Corsairs, and Outcasts often had multiple factions that were highly successful. With this we always had leadership to answer any existing problem in a short time.

My Opinion: Zoners should never be limited to a single ID their NPC information states the name Zoner is nothing more than a way of life not a single individual government/organization.

2. Factions should have that right to deem any player hostile if proper proof is available with warnings. House hostilities should go "Hostile to Military - Hostile to All". I see a usual occurrence factions hostile to Gallia docking on corporate stations (Report Report - I don't even bother).

3. No insight on this really, common sense and research could make a reasonable answer everyone can agree on.

1. Most of those factions died out way before the 1 faction per ID rule was introduced. And while multiple factions might have offered a certain amount of variety to some of these factions they often only resulted in people doing exactly the same as the existing officials for what they don't need the official status themselves. I can agree that the Zoners would need multiple factions. However, that already causes issues with base IFFs and docking rights.

2. That would allow the military factions to dictate RP and diplomacy of the other house factions, especially the corporations who often don't share the view of the government. After all most corporations have dealings with less legal entities.

3. Disco is a fire pit, for most people common sense holds no value if you can screw someone over to your own advantage. Otherwise Hoodlum wouldn't have to keep preaching it all the time.
