because sible debate belongs in english genral.
Not a player guide.

Well it goes downhill from there. One thing I strongly advocate is a limitation preventing fleetless players from choosing the faction with the most people on it at the time, but I don't know what kind of support that has.

I would greatly prefer a time limit on faction changing, say 2 hours between faction changes or even longer, like 24 hours.
|

An hour or 2 sure, but 24 hours is a long time to be stuck playing a faction you may not like for someone who accidentally clicks the wrong one.

why not implement a "profile per faction" with the ability to switch faction but a cooldown ?
scenario:

peter pilot loves playing kluth
while hes playing a luth pilot he gain pres/ badges as usual
but there arent currently any luth players online but a big clash between icc and ugto about to happen
so he could either fly alone in his luth-dread and maybe kill a wounded ship or he could
switch faction to gain access to his icc profile (with its own rank / garage) and he earns icc-pres / badges now
but switching triggers an increasing cooldown that prevent this account from switching again
|
|
im thinking of something like
1st switch - no cooldown
2nd switch - 15 min
3rd switch - 30 min
n-switch - ( n-1 ) x15 minutes
and the cd get resetted every night at a set time
this way you can switch once to join other factions battles
but cant switch "real quick to sabotage a planet" and return to your original faction (cause youre forced to play the faction you switched to for at least 15min)
and players, who like playing different factions dont have the problem i have: a garage full of modded ships ( and you dont have to pull a new ship every time)
(for the devs: i know this would tripple the profile & garage database)

i think it had something to do with "bigger is not always better," incorrectly implying that for the most part, smaller is better.
this brings back nostalgic memories of a kluth claw from 2003 fitted with 5 cl2k and 5 anti-matter mines. many dreads went down to that baby. *sob* i wish we could just roll everything back to those days... FA server and all..

it was a praise-topic that cruisers could beat everything ( titled bigger is not better)

So we all agree here bigger is not always better and smaller is not always better it all depends on the situation and the pilot now that thats over lets go eat some ice cream and laugh at a Bugblatter Beast  also i like the idea was having different faction's on your account that you can switch into with a cooldown time of a couple hours.

while were on the subject. How about ranks for each faction? How does it make sence that a ICC Captian can enlist in kluth armada and be a captian?
You should have to work your way up the ladder on each faction.

yes.
So faction hopping will be less of a problem.
