Official faction activity

[Ingenious]

Because I am not entirely self interested.

I will also point out that factions are depend on one another for activity. For example, an active [RM] causes the [LN] to be more active in responce. If the KNF patrols more, then the blood dragons also come out to play... This network of relationships is extremely complex, and extends all across sirius. When one faction's activity wanes, then others also decrease, with activity increasing in other places. Meaning that factions would never be able to sustain the requirements, even if they meet them now, as all factions are reliant on other factions.

With this in mind, you will find that if you start culling the smaller and apparently weaker looking factions, then the giants fall shortly afterwards.

This idea you have will lead to no factions existing at all.

Then propose more reasonable hourly requirements that are proportionate relative to one another. I had said 20 for traders, 50 for unaffiliateds, 80 for houses. Maybe you have a different idea of the hour levels?
