So we all know indies (unofficial faction members) cause problems on this server, e.g. Making conflicted faction RP / making faction negotiations and agreements weak if indies dont go along with it / that whole mess IMG had where its indies were attacking people, and it said they couldnt, and arguing ect.
But Indies also bring good things to the server, and this is where you come in, everyone please tell me the good things that indies do/bring/reasons for having them. (note please dont say one that has already been said)
I'll start off:
1: Official factions often make you wait ages before you can fly a cap ship you want, if you are an indie you can have fun with it straight away.
2: You may not agree with the RP of the official faction, and so want to start a faction more in keeping with what you think that ID SHOULD be doing (possible one)
P.S. please no anti indie/anti official faction rants (lookin at you Ryoken :P)
REMINDER: Not talking about generic IDs here
Edit, after getting responses:
Wow, thankyou all for the lots of responses, (the ones not saying "Lock please" anyway!)
The reason I made this thread was because I was trying to figure out a way to get rid of the bad things about indies, whilst keeping the good things, but I realised that to do that I needed to know what the community thinks the good things about indies ARE.
So the good points that have come up seem to be:
1: Get big ships when you want.
2: Different RP if you disagree with official faction RP
3: Indies reduced responsibility encourages more spontaneous advances in RP, and creates less "stale" factions that stick around after their ideas have run out.
4: Try the faction out before you join
5: Don't always have someone bossing you about - its a game -
6: Easier, no skype chat, no responsibility to come on a certain amount, no specific setup you have to get.
7: No official tag so that lawfuls/traders can find/avoid you
Does that sound about right?
P.S. I am not "Anti Indie" I posses 18 ships and several shared ships, and I have only 1 char in an official faction
P.P.S. THIS is not the "What are the bad things about indies?" thread.
P.P.P.S. I am not talking about generic IDs, this is about people using faction IDs but not being in the OFFICIAL faction.
P.P.P.P.S. If I had the power I would ban the term and all variations of "Lolwut" from my threads, I hate that term, please dont use it, thnx.
