recently i had a look at the development log and i noticed it said "badges to allow access to new factions" and i'm really curious as to what these new factions are is it the MI, the pirates or maybe a new race we haven't seen yet.... either way can't wait to see what happens ^^

Could mean sub factions within the 3 major factions. Take for example ICC which is comprised of a large amount of corporations. That what I might mean

I do like the sound of that, much like fleets or something but with more official standing and/or subtle differences between them.

Yeah like:
Fleets -> Class/Bloodline
Class/Bloodline: Each faction would have so many, each one has negative side effects on certain things while positive side effects on others, adding the that of the faction and maybe counter acting to some of the current other factions strengths e.g. Luth. Icc/uggies may get a "Electronics Specialist" or something similiar which ships have more scanners, slightly less firepower and move slightly faster, sounds stupid i know but it was a quick example of the top of my head, it would add much more depth into the game.
But hey, personally, i think we are getting pirates or mi to play as even though that itself seems silly due to pres farming or maybe its to stop it? Who knows? (sarcastic, staff know but we can't until release).
I am more bothered about grouping than this.

Sub factions would be cool, even tho there ICC and are allied with the whole body of ICC there slightly different. So X fleet could be ICC:ECM:=ICC= or ICC:B:=TR= or other things. Its still an ICC planet but X sub faction holds it or capped it. If these sub factions are in fact enemy's and not allies then it would splinter a game even more, unless we get a whole new faction to play as. Maybe these sub factions could be M and CM only or one of the subs?
I myself am more looking forward to the unified MV then anything else. Will be nice to see the big MV back.

so does this mean more enemies?
if so, does this game really have the playerbase for that?
dont get me wrong, i'd love to be able to fly more and different ships. but i'm more concerned that this might water down the 3 existing factions to a point where you just cant get anything done because of to few online per faction.
