' Wrote:The problem with official faction is it sounds like a few guys who said "yay I'll get a battle**** and any others will have to get smaller ships so I pwn 'em all".
Unfortunately, that rank thing any factions have is telling this.
Look at the [RA] for example, they are all using OC destroyers with like no superiority while the LN recruits can't even get nuclear mines, sunslayers or razors for a fighter. Well that's why I left the LN and why I won't join any official factions but the 2 I'm in.
I'm in OPG, and it could be also any corsair faction, cause it's really easy to reach the marauder rank that allow you to get any ship up to gunboats. Even a rat can have a bomber with everything he want (limited to what rules allow of course) mounted on. Also I have access to one of their cruisers if I want to use it.
Only thing you have to do if you want a big corsair ship is to do not include [OPG] in the name.
I'm in the Lane Hacker not for playing as I want to (I got my bellerophon in liberty as well) but only having fun, but nevertheless, you can have a pirate transport as technician, that gives enough power and cargo to be a real treat to traders.
Unofficials are just here for some guys can enjoy the capital ships without having to waste so much time before they can have their ships.
I'd say "Let them all be !"
Perhaps. I just wish, however, that unofficial factions could be reasoned with like official ones, and not the fact existing that they can do whatever they wish, behave out of role play, but RP just enough to skim by and not to break the rules.
Official factions at least react to constructive criticism, and lord knows official ones can't get away with the things the unofficial ones do.
And in view of the thread as a whole, my personal opinion, let them be, though some more interaction and ability to post feedback on unofficial ones'd be nice, but I do understand that the server would be worse off with draconic rules and what not.
