(3600 max cargo space, etc...) I would also go a bit further by saying that indies can only use the last generation ships and gear. Example: the Wraith for the Officials and the Valkyrie for the indie. This would be a real magnet for official factions. And would aslo give a use for all those old ships nobody uses. Finally. I aslo would like to see a way implemeted in the server that would make all indies responsible for their actions. No more stuff like: 'It was an indie, we can't control them' Also, a good way to improve factions is to give them something to do... ( a war for Rheinland and Kusari for instance!)
I would be all for a radical change (maybe not this particular one though) if it's going to work. But to put it bluntly the mindset you are up against is "But what about all the stuff I have now, you'll take that away?" - "Yes" - "Oh well I won't play anymore then" and on the threat of that, nothing changes because there is a perceived risk of loss to the community in it.
