They can dress it up any which way they like, as a sincere plea for dialogue or whatever, but let's be honest here, that's all folk like Vicktore and Cosmo want.
"Sky Marshal".
What an absolute joke.

If it buffs their ego to be called that in an online game then who are we to judge?

Tssssssss.... That burn singed my eyebrows...
Thing is, this guy takes it all really seriously.
He genuinely thinks he has a fan club.
I applied to be a part of it as I thought I'd get a badge, and maybe a certificate.
Never heard anything back.

However, I can almost guarantee that you will be disappointed. Whatever expectations you have, they probably won't be met. (*cough* MultiCrew *cough* Wing Missions *cough*)
With the name Viktore Beskor and the self imposed title of "Sky Marshal" I would say with some certainty that he doesn't do democracy.
We'll, Mr. beskor, it seems you have an anti-fan club here. For what it's worth, I hope they can find a way to make large scale player stuff happen.
I've seen you post about "proper fleet mechanics" several times now, I have yet to hear what you mean and how you propose they work around the P2P networking. Perhaps your adorring anti-fan club could give you a post or so to explain it, lol.
This is a forum for exchanging ideas guys, regardless if you personally agree. If you don't want to hear, just ignore the post. Let's at least give him the respect to explain his vision. If not for him, then as a favor to me. I'll pay you in cookies!

Personally, I think being able to pledge to a minor faction and having it show up as an affiliation would satiate many.
And if it was a player faction, it could work with similar logic to private groups in that someone is appointed as "ruler" who can accept or dismiss members but also has the power (obligation) to create deputies if the group grows beyond some number of players..
Player Factions can choose Group Mode to be Open or Private Group
Each player could get reputation with the faction by standard actions such as bounty hunting, taking missions, interdicting and attacking other factions' ships etc.
There could be several simple group archetypes -
Dictatorship (deputies have to kill ruler to overthrow),
Anarchy (No deputies, anyone can join or leave as desired)
Democratic (Members vote in new deputies and choose a ruler each cycle.)
In each case, the rulership can be contested if the player does not play in the Group's chosen Mode for one BGS cycle.
just idle thought... Since nothing has been stated yet.
For the moment, and short of any further detail, I am not expecting more than that.
Since executive control is verboten in this game...there will not be much in the way of 'proper colonization'. Set your expectations on a mega ship that can be moved x ly's once per week, and some group management tools, and your expectations will be properly set...for now. Anything past this is hype...and will only lead to your dissapointment.

Vicktore, When you phrase your ideas like this, they are far more palatable IMO...
Unlike Eve, since there is such a huge galaxy to play in and already countless NPC Factions, it wouldn't be as polarised and as utterly inhospitable an environment for single players as EVE...
It would be more of an EVE lite... This is an idea I would back 100%...
Player Faction owned planetary bases and outposts certainly. PP like expansion to build new planetary outposts on planets or new outposts near to RESs.
Sounds grand!
I'm ready to listen to ideas, but that's not what we are getting from the OP is it?
Player Squadrons cost some nominal fee based on maximum instance size? They would thus end up in instances with other paying squadrons and could be matched based on power.

Indeed it is - and not everyone's idea of Squadrons involves territorial gameplay - hence the discussion.

Can I just say "no stable wing system".
Actually, I am looking forward to some aspects of this, but for reasons beyond playing BGS like it's a game. I see a tremendous potential here in other areas of Elite beyond what folks like the OP are expecting. It's not the feature itself I have any issue with....
There is at least some truth to this.
We're going to need a minimum of 3 weeks Focused Feedback, and at least a full 2 weeks, if not more of beta testing, followed by at least another full week of focused feedback for this to be implemented with anything regarding success. Six weeks, minimum for one feature, or we risk disaster.
