I'm sorry to say that unless a lot of work is done into the faction (to somehow give it a gimmick that makes it a real faction, to somehow give it a large number of ships and new models, to somehow make a , storyline wise, non-faction sized faction a faction), it has no chance of ever attaining faction status.

Well they have what, 7 different ship models? (1 Scout, 1 Frigate, 1 Destroyer, 2 Cruisers counting Rogen's Flagship, 1 Support, 1 Station) That's about what the other factions have minus Dreadnoughts and unique Engineer/Transport/Supply models.

A better chance of capturing ships, +1 cargo slots on combat ships, and maybe +15% or so troop strength would be a fitting gimmick, maybe even do that instead of a V button special to make it extra gimmicky. More ships is a layout issue, right? Don't scale up Pirate ships when the size scaling is eventually finished to balance out not having Dreadnoughts. Just some ideas.

The problem can be fixed by the UGTO and ICC swapping shields and armor.

Now that sounds like a good idea

Lets just face it the Devs tryed to stop UGTO spamming Stations by makeing there dreds better and making stations alomost stainoary but what has happened is UGTO dreds are now just about impossible to beat and staions with armour enhacments are impossible to Hull

The fun has gone form major battles as most people have left because they got this patch wrong and it shows

so the faster they fix it the better for every one

Here is an ideas lets go back to 1.1 seemed to work way back then, lots of players lots of fun

or stopbeing biased towards UGTO and make a Fair Patch
