I have my own squadron of one. In just a few days activity, I pulled ahead from less than the 3500th ranking, to the mid-1500's.
I will never catch up with the big squadrons, but it shows just how few points are required to pick myself off the absolute floor in rankings.
This leads me to believe that there are a number of players/squadrons who have gone dormant. And, quite a few one-player squadrons.
PMF's may have associated squadrons, and PMF's have home factions, but I suspect that many PMF's are dormant as well.
Reason: Burnout. BGS play is hard work. Squadrons may be easier, in that they do not have to go through the submittal process. They can pledge to any faction. Squadron members are free to drop out, and choose another squadron with a different associated faction, form their own squadron, or quit.
How many Zombie PMF's are there? Should PMF's, who can have bases, have an expiration date, or a check to see if they still have ten active members?
If they are indeed zombies, they should be stricken, and forfeit their bases to NPC's. Giving them to other PMF's is pouring gasoline on a fire.
They can always re-form, but somewhere else. PMF's should require a higher level of commitment, if they are to have assets.
This should light a fire under a number of PMF's.
