Any fight against a human will be more meaningful and challenging than a fight against AI.
Quite a few really poor human pilots.
your describing Point 1 and 2, so yes ... and ok just replace grieving with pirating.
I wasn't referring to pirating either. My CMDR has been attacked a hundred times for every time someone has tried to pirate him, still not griefing.
and we already have *player Factions* taking over systems ( to adress your first post about how silly it is to take over system )
Having your faction's name on something doesn't change much of anything.
