Imagine FD allowed each player to 'adopt' a minor faction from within the game, any minor faction from any of the thousands of systems.
To adopt the faction , you would have to agree to follow a template given by FD.
You would create a structure, a family tree, create the people, personalities, backstory - all vetted by FD (or someone nominated by them).
This would then get added into the game as lore for that faction (perhaps accessible from the system map), a bit of a backstory for someone passing through, or perhaps a reason for someone to join or fight against them.
You could then add your own local system news posts for that faction, so if a system goes to war for example, there would be some story behind it.
Almost like powerplay on a system level, without the mechanics, just to add to immersion.
Good idea?, or just a crazy dream?
Or perhaps...Fd plan to do this themselves at some point, surely would be a lot of work for them though.
