Rejected Faction wings and faction-less bands

Faction wings and faction-less bands

This suggestion will be in bullet-point form, because why not.

• Remove the Pirates faction, it kinda makes little sense when you think about it.
• Make pirates spawn in linked and faction-less groups called 'bands,' which are "attack all except others in the band on sight" ships. They also can be seen as linked because their centre of mass would be calculated and lines would come off it, linking to the ships.
• Make Trading guild faction's shop restock fleets/shop defense fleets all as what we'd call wings—the faction version of bands.
• Add player band/wing creation in the faction dialogue.

If it makes it easier to spawn independent groups of pirates and other ai than using the current faction system sure +1. Else avoid reinventing the wheel.

We have other plans already for Pirates and fleets that would cause clashing with this idea. Thanks though.

Sad face—

Oh well. But now I have to know what those plans are! Please?
