    This is mostly about current factions and their either missing useful features or ones they have but are perma broken.


    Chat side Invite Player Button: So under that list of buttons you get when clicking on someone's name adding a Faction Invite button would be useful even more so with names you are unsure of the characters of or don't have yourself. This would let people in the faction with faction invite permissions invite right through any chat window without the need to go into the faction menu and do it.

    Apply button: unlike the Join button for public factions this sends and Application Message to the faction and anyone with invite permissions can accept or deny the request to join the faction. Also when sending an application it can also have a message sent with it if the player wants to ask something or is requested to send some text info to join.

    Faction Info Log: Yes I know we have a News section but that's not nearly enough. This would contain basically any info a faction would need to know of done by its members or to them and anything they own. Basically who joined, left, was kicked and when, who was shot at by who, or who they shot at, same thing with what was shot. Who built a station or ship and/or unmade one in build mode. As well as other useful information a faction could make use of.

    Faction Member Last know location and Day/Time online needs to actually save and stay saved. Can tell how many times this would be handy on it's own for determining things.


    I'm sure there's a 100 other things that are common sense to have for factions floating around too.

    With the chat thing, it would desperately need a second confirmation to avoid accidental invites and the inevitable potential exploitation.

    Also not showing it for people already in factions. :) That way you don't try to invite people through chat already in factions. :)
