A simple question. What will happen if he join to dead faction? I don't believe that the faction will return to life like phoenix if they get ONE new member.

Sometimes all a faction needs is a member or two to get everybody really interested again.
Quote:I understand your position, but seeing all and every official faction as evil powertrippers is closed minded take on things. Restricting lets say battleship or certain range of behaviour (most of the time unaproppriete behaviuor for that NPC faction as a whole) isn't because of need to supress individual desire to play how you want, but most of the time for creating better atmosphere for other players too. Some of restrictions also are nessecery for team work. It's a mutual thing you put aside some of your needs to get something in return. And if it's a case of gaining more than loosing it holds quite good rewards for the player.
Besides, not all people prefer to fly only caps like you do. For this reason your position is heavily warped by your own subjectivity. I have no problems then people think like that, I only see problem then they present their subjective interpretation as objective facts to influence other people way of thinking.
To OP try out unioners. But it might be quite dissapointing because such factions requires real determination to develop and play cuz of their inferior tech, zone of influence and so on.
Not the factions themselves, but their leadership, usually is...
And yeah, restricting ganking is restricting your own fun with little/no RP basis. Other actions like ruining diploamcy and such yeah of course FR5 them.
I dont only fly BS's, I have transports too. Lolz

Sorry, but sometimes indies do things they shouldn't.
Arent they allied?
Why not? Q_q

L. O. L.
You're silly.
Join one of the Zoner factions, Phoenix, TAZ... etc.
They've not been allied for a long time. As you also mentioned, screwing up diplomacy is another problem, and attacking the Mollys who we've effectively got a NAP with is not the best strategy.

There are of course some exceptions where factions have been completely screwed over by the abundance of design flaws in the mod.
I wouldn't say it is a bad idea. As mwerte said, sometimes all a faction needs is a single member to push the rest of them to play. I wouldn't even go as far as calling it bad leadership, may be that the leader is just busy elsewhere (should have passed the reigns though).
Quorg was specific in that he wants to help factions who need members, typically factions near the bottom of the heap are the ones in the most need of help.
Who knows, maybe he can take a dieing official faction and turn it into what he thinks an official faction should be. That is far better than the resentment and ranting about how OFs suck.
Some factions are just nerfed by Design while some are OPed by Devs on skype friendship principle- hence you got the huge activity differences.
I wont recommend you to join nerfed faction because it is fun killer to have underpowered tech/ZoI/ID- as result this kind of factions are dead/not quite alive with 2-3 days activity max,from other PoV it is more challenging to be the underdog in one strange twisted way that the most kids around the place wont understand.

Oh cut the conspiracy crap already. The reason some factions are designed so badly compared to others is because the development team is a disorganised mess with limited knowledge of game design; not because of bias and Skype deals.
