Yup, I saw this during the proposed discussion and said so. I was shouted down and here we are.

Except that was never its purpose.
What we were promised and presented as an achievable goal was the polar opposite.
To quote the GALnet entry : A Sanctuary and reliable Resupply point!
Not some Anarcho-Hub that are already a dime a dozen inside the bubble...
The Explorer's Association doesn't exactly sound like their goal is to extend Anarchy into deep space, does it? Neither are they the Pirates' Association, nor the Smuggler's Association.
In my books, this will go into E : D history as the great betrayal.
Had I known this was the plan, I wouldn't have even looked at Kaushpoos in the Galaxy Map from 175LY away, let alone waste tons of hours on helping to build it...

I say that as a non-pirate.

I get that it perhaps "breaks" some people's lore, and FD should probably have taken that into consideration, but does it matter in practical terms ?
It's a "pirate hub" if there are pirates robbing everyone blind, or killing them and limit their access to the station (something that could happen, given the stations remote location), not some system security rating
or some NPC faction ownership.
As far as i can see, everyone can still use the place exactly the way they intended to ?
Not trying to be daft here, but i struggle to get my head around the hubbub.

Do we know if this is actually a player group?
It was given to them, factions were decided during 1.4. Then were first visible in the 1.5 Beta.

So much for a neutral scientific exploration center.
That's it, I'm with Falcon, this is bottomgravy of the worst kind.
What? Do I get that right? Someone created the group spontaneously just to take over the station, just like that? And FD handed it to them on the silver platter?
I have no background to it other than what you see there. What the process for applying for a ingame player faction is, I don't know. I thought that you put your group forward and FD assigned you your system, that's what i gathered.
So lets wait until they come to visit to go: yay explorer tears and all that
Don't have a screenshot of the system map, but I do have this. Was taken last night before I logged off.
There's a pirate faction, communist and 2 democratic factions in the system. All flagged as Anarchy. The galaxy map says it's exploited by Hudson, but the station information screen says otherwise.
