I'll be perfectly honest with ya...I don't care for factions and power play and all that rubbish. I just wanna fly my ship and drive my srv and have a good time doing it.
Factions would only really have any merit within the game when we are able to create and build our own planetside bases or spaceports etc.
You build your base, create your own ships badge available for those pilots who partake in missions from your base.
Pilots land and are asked if they'd like to join you, say yes, get a mission, do mission and boom...you're in (maybe a slider function for number of missions completed to joining)
I dunno...I'm making all this up on the spot really.
Maybe then we can have meaningful battles with other player made factions. Say you've got a neighbouring faction run by cmdr jimmy big nose and he's been talking smack about yo boys....put a message out to some of best fighter pilots and go and surprise em.
Get over to their created base, start blasting and scuppering their attempts at running missions. Hell...maybe there's some kind of mission giving system that can identify that jimmy big noses base is in X system and X system has an AI base on a moon. Imagine being given a mission where you have a data run to do...in X system but that takes you past the enemy base.
A proper escort mission with real consequences.
Who knows...as an added incentive, say your faction completes 1000 missions, you then get the chance to build a new base!!
Expansion opportunities awaits those factions that are successful.
What dya think?
