ADMIN NOTICE : OFFICIAL FACTION RIGHTS

[Eternal]

Thank you for reconsidering , Virus.

That last idea is a really good one dieter. Not so much approval power but the ability to ask that the license be taken away and a better hit for PVP abuse.

Much better.

-edit- I really don't know what my issue with this is... I don't own a BS nor do I ever want one. They are kinda like an SUV to me (an inverse indication of personal size) What I do want to make sure is that I am not getting chased down by 3 dreads and a bomber swarm again in my cruiser because someone had a hissy fit about me killing a cruiser. Just because they can.

What exactly are you suggesting here ? If people can get the Licence by simply buying the ship , then faction leaders and admins cannot possibly be sure that they are familiar with the rules , the factions sometimes tender diplomatic relationships between one another and have the proper RP for a ship like that.
Admins should not and must not be burdened with the task of accepting or denying applications for Battleships for factions that they are , probably , not familiar with. That's just one side of the coin , the other side is the one which states that admins have enough responsibilities , then playing as baby sitters for factions which have Battleships and at least 5/10 indies which want to get one. I think that that responsibility falls to the faction/s leader/s of the given NPC faction.

Again , this "power" is not something which people can abuse easily. If someone thinks he has been treated unfairly , then he can plead his case before an admin.

And there's my point again. Eternal trusts Athenian, he may not like him - but he trusts him. Athenian has earned the respect and trust that being an experienced member brings with it. Eternal know that Athenian will RP the ship properly.

Why oh why is there something wrong with this?

I agree , but have one thing to add. I don't "don't" like Athenian , quite the contrary actually.

I agree, though perhaps giving those who are in charge of said factions a say in the re-application process, since we get to put up with them.

Just my $0.02 on that.

How exactly will everyone benefit from this , if all the factions on the server suddenly loose all their power and it will take AT LEAST 2 mouths for each and everyone of them to be re-approved , again. First , there will be no factions to execute these new attachments to the server rules. Second , admins will do nothing but read faction proposals.

Since I've read your opinion about this , several times before , I'm curious to know which factions do you think deserve a "second" look ?
