the doubling system in Utopia, that is MEANT to be used by genuine Utopian Cmdrs, to support and back factions that will strengthen it and are logical / appropriate for the Galactic Power, are able to be exploited by ingenuine, CHEATING, players, that regularly try to cause us to attempt expansion into bad expansion targets, the so called 5C players.
This truly pityful bunch of UNfair play ruining, spoilt little brats, are able to fight FOR, factions, that are clearly non-role-play , ingenuinely UNdesired by Utopia, completely against what they would not be rewarded for, in terms of the PURPOSE, of the doubling reward.
I would not be at all surprised, if the same thing can happen for other GPs, that also have doubling rewards, for combat bonds.
-----------------
1 REVERSE the additional combat bonds doubling, Frontier, back to only-bounties,..
OR
2 make the rewards, for FAVOURABLE factions, for each Power's favoured TYPE.
ie, in Utopia, fighting for combat bonds for Co-ops, Communisms, Feudal, Dictator, brings you double, but not any OTHER types-of-government factions.
AND then in other Powers' , the same for their favourables, as well.
=============
it is quite ridiculous, that something that is clearly MEANT to be a reward for maintaining / supporting a GP, can be used against it, indiscriminately.
while there might be SOME arguable situations of exceptions, to only 4 types...
at least ones like anarchies, in Utopia, are ridiculous, just as much as getting rewards for a law-society, WOULD be just as ridiculous, in Kumo/Delaine territory.
--------------
this solution makes SENSE, is fair, and removes (or mostly reduces) the ability for these cheats no less, to be able to double dip, while they waste their time trying to do what they do, in dishonour and their truly pitiful attempted rationalisations and generalisations, no doubt, about what 'everyone' does, when not-everyone,.. actually, does.
Punish these disturbances to the gameplay / ENJOYMENT of the game, frontier, this INdiscrimination, is careless, sloppy work, and does NOT make sense, in terms of WHY, the Galactic Power, would choose TO BE, indiscriminant.
