Le drama. One thing about mistakes is that they can be corrected.
But just to make a quick note here.. The admin team is actually well aware of the superiority of the Vaygr and Mortarian fleets and has actively been working to help the light side become more coordinated and effective, seeking balance. The admin team is not assisting the the odium pact, but are in fact trying to achieve balance for all players to have a meaningful PVP experience on our server. This is not always possible, of course, due to many of the limitations of StarMade, but we do our best. We're not out to get any particular group, either, but balance is important on a PvP server to ensure continued epic combat. The admins will never intentionally do things like remove a faction or take away homebase protection just to "stick it to someone." It's easy to type in the wrong faction number though when trying to legitimately enforce the rules, but corrections are always made in the event of an admin mistake.
And on a side note, keep in mind that the admins are players, just like you and I. They are human beings, they make mistakes. They stepped up to bring back LvD and make it the best they could. All of the admins have spent countless hours working on many different aspects of the server for YOUR enjoyment, not their own. This is not a "for profit" server making advertising revenue. None of the admins have been paid a dime for all their efforts, but have in fact paid themselves to host the server you are playing on. When a mistake is made, keep that in mind and be respectful with how you ask for corrections.
Now, just to make it clear what IS done toward balance, the admins will:
1. Seek out competent leaders for the light side.
2. Help forge alliances for the light side (or dark side, if the dark side ever became woefully unbalanced - which will not happen cause the dark side will never fall.. but I may be biased here since I am the head of the dark side, lol).
3. Try out new things with the economy to help ensure more fallback options for players to get back into the fight.
Here is what the admins will NOT do:
1. The admins will NOT unfaction a powerful faction to "put them in their place."
2. The admins will not delete a person's ship to "put them into their place."
3. Policies are NOT created to benefit any particular individuals vs other individuals. Policies are discussed at length, and the pros and cons are weighed before a determination is made. The central question is how it affects enjoyable PvP, because this is a PvP server.
