A faction leader should indeed be more active than it\'s members. Not that they should be inactive, but the leader(s) should be on as much as possible.
A good example of this is the US Government. The President works pretty much any time he\'s not asleep. Leisure, for him, is a luxury. However, those in Congress have set times to meet, and although they most likely bring work home with them, the actual set times of their jobs are much more lenient. And then you get the janitors, agents, and all those other non-political entities and they literally just work \"9-to-5\" jobs and then go home for the day (witht their bald ass heads and suits, pro stereotypes).
Anyways, I have to stay consistently involved with my faction. While my members are technically always doing something in the faction, kind of like how politicians are almost always doing some political stuff, but, time-wise (not effort wise, my members always put in just as much effort to their assignments as I do, and I\'m proud of that), do less. They do their assigned Operations, and by damn do they do those well, but outside of that they\'re granted plenty of free time to do as they will. And honestly, there\'s nothing wrong with that. Every members shouldn\'t have as much responsibility as the leaders. I, on the other hand, am always doing something for the faction, almost all the time whenever I\'m on here. Pretty much everything I do StarMade related is also Lazarus related. And I like that. I take the responsibility, alongside my Officers & Admirals, so the Members can have plenty of free time while off from Operations or Projects.
Both sides are equally vital. While everyone should be active as in \"I\'m on the forums and doing things in StarMade\", the Leaders should be more active within the faction itself.
