Just Bloody Lock it

[Elven]

Factions representing NPC faction should not strive for special ID.

I'd say generic ID'ed faction after existing 9(give or take) months should have a chance to get own ID to suit them better.

Rheinland Waste and Minerals is based on existing corporations with vanilla lore. If there're the same corporations, but in undeveloped state, then there's no point for this faction.

Yep, because there has been no developments in the Kusari corporate storyline.
So that idea is basically the same as how it works right now where the faction asks for an ID and the admins decide if it is needed or not?

Actually Igiss Kusari storyline shows some development for Kusari corporations (Kishiro-backed Emperor?).
But still, the problem stands: there's no progress for corporations in general. Corporate leaders shouldn't troll each other, they should unite and tell admins it's wrong.

I also agree it's quite unbalanced.

The way I want to see it: ALG controls 50-53 percents of shares within Kruger and has certain amount of representatives in Executive Board of Kruger Minerals, thus controlling their decisions.
ALG forms alliance with Kruger Minerals, refining their ore and providing with various services. ALG also lends a hand with money to Kruger Minerals to help to develop Kruger. ALG also offers to accept policies of GSI (something Steine Initiative, basically mini-Kruger+ALG test which was invented looong ago, in times of Ventana). Kruger, seeing his miners being harrased by revolutionarees, accepts those policies with more funding from ALG to cover costs for some period of time. Kruger receives better reputation and can now stand against Daumman and competite against Daumann-Republican corporate block. P

Also I find this possible, Kruger and IMG relations will cool off, as result of war against Daumman at the first place, and common friends (ALG, and later, possibly, Gateway).

So while basically ALG stays ALG, Kruger stays Kruger, we get certain progress in development of corporations.
I also want to see goverment contracts renewal, but I don't think goverments will be interested with original and creative ideas.

The problem is, it's space shooter, not really completely RP machine. Therefore, devs don't really care about RP of "minor" (not involved into pvp) factions that much... Well, that's what I think, I may be wrong, since I haven't been dev myself.
