I meant strength of independence, as in: Ensuring the security of their own stations/planets and being able to defend themselves on voyages, so they don't get bullied into submission.
Not as in: Strength do do as they will, where they wan't and dominate the political situation like some superpower.
I can understand that this has been misused over and over again and that the community is pretty strained due to that fact.
I just see it as a better solution to punish the guilty parties than the whole faction.
But I can't stress enough: I'm new to the lore and community.
The solution should be the one most fit for the veterans of the communtiy in my opinion.
