' Wrote:On topic I think there is some merit to having non-vanilla factions without indies - they made them, so there is reason they should say who can join.
Who's they? The players may have written the story, but everything else was implemented by the devs. Gallia isn't a vanilla house, yet you don't see Igiss privatizing all the factions.
Besides, just because you open the NPC faction to indies, doesn't mean the player faction dissolves.
