So it's not a good idea because the previous faction sucked? Think I can fix that one, promise we wont use a glitched ship as well. As for being far from original BSG, i wouldnt even dream of trying this without integrating it into disco and removing it from BSG as much as possible. Based on their faction proposal (which im not sure if they submitted) I think the previous faction attempted this but I dont think they went far enough. The amount of change I'm thinking of here would be comparable to a re-birth.
As for imports generically being a bad idea I wouldnt mind hearing some support for that, actually, I think that belongs in a separate thread, im gonna go see if one exists already, if anyone else knows where one is offhand, give me a link would you?
