I am suggesting that you shouldn't always take me at what I say on the forums. I'm rather bad about saying things for the mere sake of arguing or invoking a reply.

Seriously futile argument here.
There's no reason why the Corsairs can't get food. The GRN have no real weaknesses that matter, they are plowing on through Sirius. I don't see people yelling "You have no FOOD!!!!" at them.
Or guns, whichever.
The idea is to promote good gameplay and fun, not just make your faction great and wonderful.
If you really want the Corsairs to grow more powerful, get some mining in place. Not just ingame pew pew rocks but larger scale mining of fields.
Honestly, as a person who likes the Mollys, such a thing happening is terrorfying.
the GRN has a weakness - it is the shortage ( or rather the almost absence ) of raw materials to further their developement. - they threw all they had left into building a massive fleet - but in contrast to others.... they cannot rebuild losses - unless they manage to aquire new space with "fertile" mining areas.
a grave and desperate move - they put all into one bet - and the bet is to conquer sirius in order to gain access to resources.
i d call that a weakness - they are not flexible anymore. it is succession or oblivion
about the corsaif faction in general though.
what is more interesting?
- roleplaying a hero without any weakness, without any doubt high moral and ethics ....
or
- roleplaying a shifty bastard that has as many weaknesses as he has strengthes. - who struggles with himself as much as with others...
weaknesses are bad for the character you play - but GOOD for the player roleplaying the character, cuase weaknesses form a character a lot more than strengthes.
one should be very very cautious with their wishes.... cause if it came true that someone got rid of their weaknesses - one would also loose a significant part of ones personality.

Bit of an assumption dont you think? All of it, the telling-people-how-they-should-play part, though you do have a point in principle here, and the Corsair-specific part.
The Corsairs' only weakness isn't just food, or lack of.
They're fighting on many fronts, which are all being balanced on the fulcrum of manpower.
They've thusfar largely ignored the nomads militarily, which isn't really consistent, since the nomads haven't really ignored them. Artifacts, unlike Cardamine, are a finite resource.
Are you sure food is the only major weakness of the Corsairs? The three I mentioned above are either under-represented, or not represented at all currently in the Corsair roleplay, specifically because of the silly focus on food levels. The bolded issue is specifically concerning for the Corsairs in the long term, which is why they need a self-sustaining economy before that long term is reached. That this is being prevented actually equals signing the Corsairs into history, no?
