~UPDATED~
IMPORTANT:
I will implement the 3 conditions, but for now I will give 2 weeks for the faction makers to achieve those conditions.
After that, I will check all of the factions, one by one and those that were not able to achieve the conditions will be removed/transferred to a new list while the factions that were able to meet the conditions will remain here, and this list will be called "List of the Major (Forum) Factions". I will also make some changes in the list, like adding the relations of a faction to another (at war with or allied with) and adding a map showing the territories of each faction.
Here are the 3 conditions:
1) The faction should have at least 10 identical, but unique ship designs based on its role. What I mean is, just by the paint and the structure of the ship, you will instantly know which faction owns that.
2) A lore that shows the face of the faction. Like if they are a war-torn faction, the lore must tell everything about what happened. (Optional) The ship designs are relevant to the lore. If it's a pirate faction and the lore shows that the faction uses scraps from destroyed ships, the faction's ships should be mostly made of scraps.
3) The Faction must be active: engaging in wars and negotiating with other factions. Just to make something interesting in the forum.
You can fight another faction of your own, cause I know it's easier to create a story by yourself. But it's always cool to see that there's an interaction between 2 different factions. Also, if you are at war with a faction made by another person, communicate with each other using discord or any com. apps and create a story, don't just talk in the forums throwing ships at each other saying "Mine's better than yours!".
If you don't want to go to war or interact with other factions, and you just want to make your own stories or create ships to show to others, that's fine.
If you have any objections/ suggestions just tell me. 🙂
