"Elite factions"

[Veygaar]

No I wouldn't recognise any difference if the said factions ship-lines and guns are balanced properly like the rest of the sirius factions. And as Hone said for the casual trader/miner there is no difference if he is shot by 8 gunner corsair gb or 8 gunner wilde gb, if the wilde gb turrets dont have cruiser dps.
Or may be the difference between smuggling zoner guard ided powertraders and this:

I dont see any except of the name, and the ID, ah yea the zoner powertraders got Zoner guard ID nerfed.....
I personally was in the situations where I was in 5 avengers vs 1 with proper RP reasons and
Situation where I was alone vs 5 nomads who shoot me because U human dai.
No I frankly dont see any difference.

Unbalance is part of the challenge. Do you complain in a video game (take MGS for example) where you have to fight a Boss if he has more health/more powerful weapons than you? Even though this is a RP game there still should be challenge's. And it doesn't always have to be a challenge of skill. It can be a challenge because the fella has more powerful setup, or one side has more ships like you mentioned above.

@ Everyone:

If you really want in an elite faction you should do this thing called ROLE PLAY, and get to know the fellas in charge of the faction and ask to/show them your RP. That's what this server is about, interacting with other people...

And as a side note, I have plenty of fun being a full time indy. I'm brand spanking new to boot, I don't know many people at all, I still get tech requests I RP for without having to be buddy buddy with folks...

All you need is a good attitude and to work within the confines of the rules/set guidelines. Don't try to take short cuts to get what you. You don't change the rules of Chess suddenly because you don't like them, you learn how to play with the given rules of the game when you entered.
