Quote:...But that doesnt mean that they can OORPly do things to deny other factions of the same NPC affiliation and put restrictions on them, unless something they do which can be justified via RP.
This is the crux of that response. You are free to ignore the wishes of the Official Faction, but doing so may also have nRP cosequences: Example: the Officials could FR5 you and not permit your ships to dock on their bases, or they may put Bounties on your ships, or they declare your ships as rogue and treat them as hostiles.
