Which seems too be the most active Kusari faction? Or rather which side emerges victorious in fights most often?
I can recall KNF winning a lot back when I was in the 343 but idk if things have changed.
KNF (or lawful side in general) have low numbers but very skilled players.
343 have decent numbers but don't have very skilled aces (inactive factions like farmer's alliance and hogosha do).
~*~ is about the same as 343.
BD just usually uses caps and have good numbers, I believe.
I'm not really sure about indies, but that sums the factions up I think.
EDIT: Oh and KNF usually wins most encounters that are fair (4v4, sometimes even 4v8 >.>)
It really depends on who logs.

The most active faction is... hard to quantify. It keeps changing. It's either ~*~ or Samura. KNF wins the most fights out of everyone, HA probably wins the least. KNF probably has the best pilots, I can testify that we're rather crap at pvp in ~*~, BD are better than us but not fantastic, same for 343. Basically KNF still wins a lot, but not every time, all the time, to any of the factions they come up against.
Which is actually InRp perfect. I remember when ~*~ and BD were the only people active in Kusari apart from Samura and 343 couldn't enter Kusari, and it sucked. If you constantly have paper beating rock, the game isn't fun. You need scissors to provide the correct balance.

@Wesker
You know that you will never get allowed to fly a caps in 343. ~*~ have a nice GB tech access.
With Hogosha and Alliance(?) ID you can fly Claymore or sair GB with 90%, just saying.
BD| are the most cap-orientated Kusarian faction by fact. Also it seems that Order and Outcasts will get involved in Kusarian pews, so it might work as well.

Yeah, I don't advise you join ~*~ or 343 if you want to fly caps. However, BD tightly control their caps now. KNF might let you fly caps, but I'm unsure.

Just fly an indie and scream your head off about filthy gaijin/feminist/exiles/whatever.

That's how Kogen's Exiles worked. Nowadays, it makes little sense in lore manner and is utterly absurd - as Exile "fleet" could be easily wiped out by "broken" KNF Fleet alone, in open battle.

I could list a great deal more about how that system wouldn't work, but I think you get the point.
How about we have limited conquest systems? like one system for GRN vs Liberty&BAF?

There is already many battlespaces like Dundee,New Hampshire,Omicron Eta,Omega47,Poole and more and these should be capturable

I think people are forgetting that during these times of war, there were huge complaints about ''constant raids''.
So really, there is no way to make people happy. Give people an excuse and they will whine their heads off.
What discovery lacks as a mod is a goal for older players. Our progression is tied to the sirian credit, which pretty much dictates what characters you have, what ships you fly and how much investment you have in the game. If this is your only sense of progression, it is when the player has 6bil kicking around and every each patch with something new added is that they can return to disco, blaze through the new content within hours as they throw imaginery pixel credits at the screen, before saying ''k'' and going back to other more fulfilling games.
