builder builds for a faction, they improve their skills by working with others and drawing information and advice from everyone in the faction. If you do not put yourself in the faction, ask questions, compare work, and strive to make your creations better, then a faction doesnt need a builder who doesnt improve himself. increases in skills in builders means better ships, new tech, and new ideas that can be used in the future. Better builders, means better factions, as they give the tools and ships for those who cant build or have the time. Cirds right, if i were you, i would challenge myself and try to beat marcus in my ships, style, and performance in my ships. Factions needs all the builders they can get, the more the better.
We would be luck to have marcus, as he would improve the faction and all of the members.
