So... Make it to where if you get booted from your faction you would become a nomad? Like you could choose to be nomad from start, but you could also be voted out of your faction by members of it, and you could shift to a different faction manning your normal ACU in different colors depending on the faction you join. Example: Cybran booted from the Cybrans, then later joins aeon and pilots a green Cybran ACU and he always has the ability to call in a aeon engi to build aeon and Cybran units. Or maybe he could join the aeon and opt to use their commander, but keep his avatar name. Or when he joins the nomads switch to their com or keep his own just bare the rusty brown symbolic color of their faction. I mean... That's the whole Idea right? At least that's what I thought Zep already had planned.

It's nice to have wishlist, but you have to realize that the only things that will be in are depots, game-enders, nomads and the intelligence tab, and it's done.

I've a roadmap and I won't add any other feature to it.

Just sayin

i thought about that possibility only to spice things up.
Because like that alliances could be broken by players of lower ranks. Which i think is something cool
But it shouldn't be easy to do that. The player could be demoted afterwards or it costs all his credits and or similar stuff.
Because i think that if we don't have such an element in it there would be stiff alliances.

I agree Hawkei, we had an issue earlier in the UEF, a Corporal decided it would be a good idea to attack an area we marked off-limits, they should instead listen to their team, and superiors, they are higher ranks for a reason after all.

Hmm yes my thought was to hard code it. But now that i think abut it there should be the possibility of lower ranks to ignore the order and attack if they don't have the same opinion as the higher ranks.

IMO if lower ranks have differing opinions they should express them through the appropriate channels. They should then abide by the consensus of their team and the instructions of their team leader.

If you would prefer to maintain autonomy there is no need for change.

Alliances should be only the beginning. Top of the list of stuff we need is the ability for a Rank 8 to actually command his underlings. They should be able to boot players off planets, prohibit attacks on planets, declare alliances, see what reinforcements everyone has, and general have other intel useful for making strategic decisions (Seeing FAF Usernames of Avatars would be nice).

Also, a panel showing which of your faction buddies are on planets, which planet they are on, and what their activity status is. Will make organising the team SO MUCH EASIER!

Giving GW players a faction avatar in FAF would be cool. If they wish to remain anonymous they can simply choose not to display it.

As for alliances, were you suggesting that this be hard coded so that players can't attack allies?

A possible feature would be for Level 8 commanders to be able to mark planets as "Non-Attackable". Which would prohibit lower ranked players from attacking those planets. This could be done for an alliance. But it could also be done to prevent attacks which are strategically detrimental.

I'm not sure if these features are planned yet in some way.
If they aren't this obviously is just an idea so treat them like that.

The factions highest ranking officer should be able to offer an alliance to another race.
Or maybe start a poll between all officers higher than for example rank 3 to offer another faction an alliance.
But each faction should have a limit of allies. So they can't gang up on one.
Maybe the offer could be accompanied by offering some planets as tribute or units?.

Also id'l love to see how many Aeon/Cybran commanders each faction has, a litte icon or so?
Only your own factions data should be visible. Maybe a listing of how many of one kind of officers we have.
Just my thoughts
