Pure text actually, pretty small. For a 3000 player server it wouldn't need to be larger than a few megabytes. It's not a bad idea really, and could allow a player level tier system instead of faction level.

You want to know why I'm fucking annoyed with your utter and complete bullshit right now? Because it's clear you don't give a flying fuck about the op or any discussion that's already happened. I already fucking gave solutions to that you absolute tosser, you said you didn't like it. For...

And it's almost like there are a dozen other threads devoted to that. Forward thinking, it's a fucking thing.

"You know, this faction rank system isn't focused on direct gameplay mechanics, I'm going to bitch about that and give no actual reasons the idea in the OP is bad."

I can think of no other solution. If you can I'd love to hear it. No such servers exist right now because there is no distinction between the groups and player numbers aren't high enough to offer more player types. There is no model possible to prevent those problems. If you can't deal...

I attempted to answer the core concerns of each point, if I failed then I would like to request examples of what you mean.

Logs, logical inference. As there is no distinction right now the only non-PVP servers are building ones. That would be up to server policy. An offline protection system, with a grace period of 2-3 minutes before it goes away when you log back in and that takes 2-3 minutes to kick in when...

Non-PVP servers and "solo-faction" servers. That's emergent behavior. If there's a trade system, that stuff will happen naturally.

I did note that space stations could generate credits or resources. You'd think so, but look at how obsessive people are to get higher ranks in things like CS:GO. It's just a number and a fancy graphic and yet...

Said boat would make you higher than tier 1 or 2. Maybe 3 at best. There could also be a personal rank that coincides with faction rank. There's a reason I have the tier 1 and 2 values so low in my example, it's nearly impossible to build a ship that would destroy everything else with the low...

The thing with this is that it gives the newbies an easy way to get away from such: simply level up somewhere that it's easy to hide and you can avoid twinking. Or just ban people from servers for doing it. You can't stop twinking in general, but you can make it more annoying. The investment in...

I covered that :P

Some players, not all players. And that means it doesn't make the problem worse, merely gives additional ways to deal with it.

For now. So ban people from twinking if you don't want it done as a damn server admin. Except that other groups may want to fight them. Oh, oh! How about getting points from destroying other people's points? Say... half rate or so? You thus have incentive to fight.

There is a level cap. Prove this. This is a good thing. You want players to join factions that are high ranked to be able to fight other high ranks. This isn't a downside.

Right, faction level PVP is absolutely pointless right now, not the least because of broken weapons and a pain in the ass power system... But even without those it wouldn't happen on large scales because there is no reason to. There is no reward to the risk. So instead I propose 3 simple...

You mean only threat.

Really big ships.

Poor stations. Anyway, a requirement for a beginner ship is that it at least needs to survive an encounter with Isanths. Sometimes those bastards can be a mere sector away from spawn and running into them too early ends a character(if you don't see any roids until you hit that area, and you'd...

Ya... there are a lot of issues with how it's done now.
