As Denis pointed out, some factions almost can do everything, everywhere, and others want to do even more.
Pirate, field caps, big zoi, mine, use 4.3k (or even 5k) transp, etc.
I really think that to trade one should go to a trade faction, to mine to a mining, to patrol to a police faction and to ride BS's to a Military faction. Its already lol (altho understandable for balance) that small time criminals with no pop numbers and finantial means to supply and build em field entire fleets of Battleships capable of facing house military main forces, lets not make it as ridiculous oorply as it already is inRP.
That or simply end the trading and mining factions, or allow them to field same kind of weapondry. Ive always dreamed of a Kruger|Tirítz
