There are player-created faction and the common in-game faction (Pirates and Trading Guild) but those are factioin driven by the AI as no human or other race is owning that faction (Well there is an exception because the Trading Guild is AI created by humans because there is a Human in the shop where you can hire crew) and there should be diffrent factions like in Star Treck there is the BORG , Klingon (sorry for miss-spelling) , and that faction that is a bit like a human but not really and the Humans, in our case, starmade has only 3 factions
Pirates(AI), Trading Guild(AI/Human) and the Humans(Human) but there should be diffrent races, not just pirates ( the trading guild is it's own story so not really important it is neutral to everything).The Pirates can be aliens from faction 1 or faction2 or faction3 or........ or not have a faction and be AI driven and it is the common enemy to everybody (except the trading guild, they.....they are the middel man) and faction 1 is enemy to faction 2,friendly to faction 3, and neutral with the others. faction 2 is enemey to faction 1&3 but friendly to faction 4........
There are a number of factions in the galaxy ( it is set in the main menu how many and the difficulty of the game)
The player can join these faction if proven worthy ( ex. attack their enemy, donate ships& money, etc.) ( the AI driven faction aka the current pirates are a common enemy and even if they are attacked by the player it is not going to give a lot of trust , because regardless they are enemys to everyone and it is a common thing to attack them but if you defend them it is a diffrent story) or you can make your own and you can declare war, peace, trade treaty , etc.
If set in the server settings, the factions can be only for players, in single player the factions will have AI instead of real players...because singleplayer, or in multiplayer there can be AI and player but it would be recommended only players because ON EVERY POPULAR SERVER THERE ARE 0 EMPTY SECTORS and so , in single playere there should be a winning condition and in multiplayer there can be too but if it is possible, the server resets after a faction won , or the winning condition will be off and the server doesn't restart( if a faction wins by dominating in military force ( has mostly all the sectors in the galaxy then if there isn't a restart you migh as well consider the server dead)
If you leave a faction to join another one it will be WAY harder to get back to your original one
Again , if , the server owners want to be the current way it is, then they might as well be able to make it so, but the faction thing it is mostly for single player but also good in multiplayer, and yes the player can create his own faction and somehow manage to win , it is better to join an existing one. To keep the feel of building your own ship, space stations and this type of stuff there could be sub-divisions that are factions but can not attack its own faction. If a sub-division want to go to war with another sub-division in another faction, the whole faction will go to war, but for it to happen the player in all sub-divisions wil lget a warning and if they think that is going to destroy them they may vote to :
Disband that sub-division
Disband it and kick the leader from the faction
Disband it and kick all the players in the sub-division.
Not disband the sub-division and go to war, or atleast being in danger of going to war.
For the vote to happen a leader or a high-ranked member of a sub-division that can make political relation ship actions can start the vote and all other players will be notified and in some time ( example 6 hours) the votes will be counted and then the dicision will be made and the decision that has the most votes, it will take action.
Only thing is the only way the sub-division to not be disband the sub-division is to get 51%+ towards not being disbande if it gest 26% to not be disbanded and 25%,25%,24% to be disbanded the sub-division will be disbanded!And to decide if the players or leader gest kicked there will be another vote, if tie!
Those faction can be or not owned by aliens or humans, my preference would be aliens that have a physical similarity to humans.
So that was my idea and that is not 100% what I have to say but I don't have all day and the things i missed the devs can make happend if they feel this suggestion is a good one.
If you agree tell me if not tell me and yhea....
Have a nice day/night!
