Truly Unaligned space : An alternative to alternatives
No new faction.
mom and pop stations
Many new factions, but none that the player can "choose" to be
go on, my name is Timmy btw. I'm interested but will ultimately dislike this idea of yours anyway
Ok Timmy you must have played this game for a while.
1. Every single station in grey space is completely independent (not part of any corp that spans multiple stations). This excludes the single uit, serco, and itani grey space stations.
2. Each of these stations hates all the others in grey space. Gaining standing in one is mutually exclusive to all the other grey space stations. IE. POS in one == KOS in all others.
3. They will all get cool new names as they are all privately owned (by npc's of course).
4. You can not be admire in any non-grey faction/corps and have greater than neutral standing with a grey space station. IE. becoming respect in a grey space station drops your nation standing to respect. Increasing your grey space station's standing will not further drop nation standing.
But why gain standing?
Each grey space station has their own unique ship. A variant from any of the 3 major nations or corps. Each station only offers 1 of these though, along with a unique variety of weapons. They will be awesome
But what's to stop people with absolutely no life from spending the time to grind standings and stockpile what makes each station unique so they can have everything everywhere and basically ruin the game?
Good question Timmy.
Grey stations can only have personal inventories up to 1000cu because these are not big time corporations, they're mom and pop's. Corvus prime (since we're culling it down to 1 station) can be the exception. It has the current system of 10,000cu + renting more in place still. The caveat here is that it also still has no perm standing loss for killing players in it's sector. Although, you can still get KOS and lose standing by gaining standing in another grey space station.
but i dont see the need to limit inventories. Those people who spend dozens of hours working the standing system and stockpiling ships should be able to because it took them a lot of time.
Timmy, you smell.
By limiting the inventories we ensure some amount of loyalty to a given "faction" and limit the effective area of any 1 player in grey space. Also, we aren't stopping a player from still gaming the system and stockpiling, but they'll have to stock the ships in a nation station or corvus's station in odia.

I think VO isn't the right game for you, cellsafemode. This is a sandbox game. You seem to want something with less sand and more rails.
lol.
Hello, my name is Timmy and I think your idea is poopies.
Interesting idea. However, I just don't like the idea of mutually exclusive standings.
Lol fluffy
