Does Disco still have enough player base to keep running all factions ?

In that case you haven't acted well on that.
There's feedback, there are leaders , there are standards to uphold. (the latter for everyone, but official factions are more in the spotlight so especially them)

I have taken issues up with leaders, and admins, and filed sanction reports. "Official" at times also seems to mean above/immune to the rules others have to follow. We all know who runs alot of factions.

Issues can be raised and they can be ignored. Leaders can be contacted and you can get silent wall.

Tell me, do you know instances where same rule is broken, but consequence is applied differently based on the fact one player is indie, another is member of official faction? Because I know. And that made me feel disturbed.

I have nothing against Official Factions as a whole, but certain aspects of Official status regarding undeserved unequality is just unbearable for me.

I do not see how official factions can be above the rules.
If stuff like this happens , I would like to see examples of it since that is clearly not the right way.
They should be setting an example , both to their new recruits as to everybody they interact with.

We all know who runs alot of factions.

Faction leaders should be trustworthy and reasonable,
and above all abiding the rules.
Next to that they should also be planning events , teaching stuff to less experienced, perform faction diplomacy,
etc. etc. etc.
If with the above quote , you mean admins , there's a couple of admins leading factions , there's lots of mods leading factions, devs too.
Maybe this could lead to conflict of interests , maybe that is what bothers you.
If that's the case it might be interesting to think about the following:
Should Admins/Devs/Mods be allowed to rule a faction?
At one hand especially mods and admins have somehow proven themselves to be reasonable and abiding the rules.
At the other hand that makes it easy to yell BIAS!!
So what do you people think about this?

Well the one inequality I will always support as the true advantage of being in a group. The group will outnumber the lone pilot. The term "gank" still doesn't phase me btw. It's the only actualy advantage I accept and it's a massive advantage at that without the need of FRs to support it. People getting organized with teamwork gain their rewards by being far more likely to enforce their RP rules in their space, be able to build Stations on the fly, be able to much hard to assail by an sole enemy due to backup. Good enough with having numerical superiority. There was a time when the only thing this "Official" got us was our own little sandbox to display some of our own faction RP: Guard Systems. These have no negative or positive impact to the server and are just neat little sandboxes for the faction itself. I still support these guard system sandboxes because they have both no negative or positive impact. Unlike FRs it doesn't create a rift between factions and indies. A rift I want closed.

Not to stick a feather in my own ass , but I do not feel my role as corsair elder is undeserved.

Well I too hope Factions go through a lot more hardened process. If you have a problem with factions I lead, I will certainly respond to it. I can't expect everyone else to be like that. Not all are perfect. But I do know that official tag means nothing in Sanctions

As for not enough players to fill "faction" ranks LOLOLOLOLOL i am sorry but right now Indies out number faction players 5 to 1. There is more then enough players, but those players choose not to be Official faction players.

I put it to you that most of the 'silent majority' of indy players are relative new, and have not really made a conscious choice to remain independant of factions.

I put it to you that the 'true' indy player is as much a minority as the faction member...

Well I also think it's rare that a faction member doesn't have Indie characters.

What if the people that don't give a rats ass about rp (-yet, most of us were like that when we joined)
start to outnumber the people that do.
the most silly situations occur and there's no way to stop them other than threatening with fr5's.
I think the house laws are a important aspect of disco.
with nobody to enforce them this place will turn into a deatmatch.

If they break RP server rules they get sanctioned. If your idea of people not giving a rats ass about RP is equated to a group not letting you have a one on one duel against one ship even though their RP says they'd smoke you anyways. Then I'm wondering who is the one RPng and who isn't.

edit: fix'd :$
