This is a review I recently wrote and its a shame, it had so much potential and still does.

Okay,
Still, I wouldn't let anyone who ranked up with the Imperials or Federation, near my Alliance secrets.
But they're just honorary titles, you never become a real admiral in the federal navy. As a reward for services rendered you get a honorary title, access to some permit locked systems and the possibility to buy some ships. Forget trying to command even a lowly ensign as you're not part of the navy..
And seeing the power of the PF I don't think either the Feds or the Imps want to alienate us in any way, shape or form.

Of course.
But honorary titles shouldn't give you billion credit military grade murder machines as reward. It would be something more mundane like, keys to the city, money and bunch of flowers and a few TV interviews.
I'm fairly sure there's missions to go to Colonia from the Bubble. That's not just a couple of jumps.
I still think you'd be better advised to give up your dreams.txt and just enjoy the game for what it is..
Yes, I understand what honorary means.Title of honor - Wikipedia

It is just that you are not grasping the concept of... If I am the Alliance leader, there is no way in hell am I letting someone like you who has killed thousands of my citizens, undermined my governments whilst working for enemy factions, anywhere near working for the alliance, even if it was in an auxiliary capacity. I wouldn't trust you at all. Get out
Then underhandedly put a bounty on your head.
I got some advice for you.
You are actually lobbying for a change in gameplay mechanics that would restrict someone else's freedom of gameplay because it is in your opinion not the right thing to do. I suggest you don't. You may play like there are consequences if you want to do that, but don't force it upon others if it is allowed by the gameplay mechanics alone.
Such drastic nerfs to gameplay mechanics won't be taken lightly by the majority of players.

That's not realism. That's pessimism.
I prefer the much more nuanced factions of Elite to the Star Wars universe...at least in concept. Star Wars has certainly had a lot more in terms of fleshing out their two opposed factions, but that's all there is to it. Clones good, Drones bad. Rebels good (at least in ultimate intent, Andor's been great fun to watch I have to say), Empire bad. There's not much more to it, which makes for good television but not so much for personal involvement.
Have you actually tried Horizons 4.0 yet? Just curious.That wasn't my experience, but I was late the the X-Universe party (I picked up X4 well after most of the bugs were fixed).
And I've not touched Odyssey, so I guess we're both equally stubborn, LOL. I'm defending EDH 3.8 in this thread, not Odyssey
* You read that right, I'm actually defending EDH, because I think the OP is wrong in his overall evaluation of the game.
I do too.
Although, me personally I prefer the nuance between the three faction in the Expanse. The Belters, Earth and Mars. The political intrigue gets to me and I just love the characters too. Especially Amos and Bobbie. The thing is, when things are well done, it makes you think, you have a understanding from each point of view, no one is good, no one is bad, it's just a conflict of different perspectives profound in their own way.
I love that. Simple black and white is boring.
The Dune series is another series of books I love with the political play between House Atreides, House Harkonnen, The Emporer (House Corrino), the Bene Gesserit and the Freeman. I love the character's, I love the political play, it intrigues me.
This is why ED, disappoints me. They have the ability to create something great, but they haven't even added the option join Alliance yet. Taking out the debate over King-Admirals, the problem with the under development of faction mechanic is soon realized that there is third massive faction that isn't accounted for in game, that has had major influence over the lore of ED's history.
For 8 years, they have been abandoned. I really want to join the alliance.

Hate to be that guy but our real universe feels dead, boring and generic. It's thus quite realistic that Elite manages to show it. Planets don't like they do in No Mans Sky. The majority of them will be boring and dull planets without any life on them whatsoever.
You can't make that argument really.
1) In real life, we don't what is out there and the galaxy could be teaming with life, we just don't know.
2) ED is game/simulator, it doesn't matter, the point is, you don't have to make it as boring as possible with nothing out there.
I don't think money is an issue with FDev. They've just bought another Studio and have been making a profit.
Good, they can spend some on sorting ED out and bring it altogether.
And finally add the alliance as playable faction. It's only been 8 years.
That's the thing though. Elite isn't boring and there is still stuff out there to find. Perhaps more than in our own reality. I very much doubt there's Thargoids out there. There could be a Guardian type race though.
And I never said our galaxy isn't teeming with life. It may well be. However, I'm also fairly sure most of it isn't. Stellar Forge uses real data and proceedurely generates Systems. Yes a lot of that data has been updated a bit since it was first implemented but it's still a pretty accurate 1:1 scale version of our future galaxy.
From the brief bit of information we've had about Starfield, it also looks like their 100+ ProcGen Systems will also be pretty dull to explore. Yet I'm still excited to explore them!
I thought you wanted more depth in gameplay mechanics?
