Lets go with reality and what is actually going on in the server:
1) Rheinland tops all. They have the skill and activity, MASSIVE player base, and organization
2) Liberty comes in with a distant second due the size of its player base.
3) Bretonia
4) Hessians due to skill, activity, size of its player base, and organization of the player base (blobo is king???)
5) SCRA due to skill, activity, and EXCELLENT organization
7) Kusari
8) BHG/Core due to numbers and ability to summon Thresher/Bomber swarms of DOOM
9) IMG- In large swarms the miners can dish out alot of pain
10) Corsairs- TBH & Benitez (and a handful of others) are the only reason why the Corsairs are considered.
Shows you that you have no idia of player base actually is. It doesnt depends upon number of player present in certain moments but on average presence.
Maybe it will be better for you to ask so called king.
I dont understand why the council is so down at everyones list. I too agree that it has strength a little lesser than bret but streached.
I dont remember where probably in omega 5 in the rumors said that the sairs has skilled pilots but not good in numbers where the hessains dont have much good weps and ships( as much i remember lorewise they use stillo and sabres )but they compensate with huge numbers. Kill 2 and 4 shows up. That is what makes the omega war mostly unwinnable. However the present situation for hessains and corsairs are completely opposite.
