thank you

I would be too lazy to run a separate faction of my own, so I plan on devoting all my time to the management of FCE.

If you can devote all of your time to the FCE then you probably aren't as lazy as you think you are.

Okay, here is what I think. We make a normal empire, call it whatever, play normally. But if people are reported, they are placed before a court and tried. If guilty, we kill them, if not, they go free.

If an empire commits a crime, we work diplomatically to solve it. Then, if all else fails, we declare universal war, and all factions are required to send some ships out to kill them out.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I still insist on an alien race ! You can then try to capture ships from your fleet and study them for new technology ...

You mean the mortals can try and capture the FCE's ships, and fail?

may or may not fail ... It depends on you and how well you plan your moves ...

My moves don't require planning, I (the FCE) planned ahead by building enough ships to destroy a planet.

You can not do this. Say two groups of factions are fighting, one faction commits a crime against the other. That means that all of its allies must now fight their friend and the enemies gain the upper hand. And who are you to dictate what a crime is? If the destruction of a planet becomes crime what do you do to effectively destroy your enemies?

This would not even amount to a "universal war" this would more be like a universal slaughter. Everything going on would be interrupted, trade, warfare, colonization, etc., and any sense of competition would be lost. Once you can commit your enemies for doing a crime they are dead, and no matter how powerful you are you can't tell every lie from the truth.

What would happen to the players in that faction? Would they be banned?

Then you leave no chance to the other factions which links us backwards to the discussion about balance, cheating and power abusing where we quite decided not to cheat or otherwise the fun goes away ... congratz we are trapped in an endless cicle .

Hacking is an example of a crime. So is abuse over the chat. These deserve bannings.

I agree, but what other things can anyone, at their whim, consider cheating. Losing against inferior forces? Guerilla tactics? You are still missing the majority of my question.

If they want to say losing is equal to explusion, they can, but we don't get involved for anything less than something that can potentially ruin the fun for everyone.

Good. So, FE is just a fancy way of saying "Justice system and Banhammer"

Anyway, I think we should have a faction we play on, and a separate one for justice.

Pretty much. I want to create Asgard now...

With my city-ship parked in the middle of it.


Also, if the "justice" fleet is defeated, it doesn't matter, it will have put a large enough dent in the enemies forces to tip the balance.

The FCE won't have a home planet as such. When it need to be used, the ships will materialize, destroy the bad-guys (or good-guys, doesn't matter), then leave.

So kind of like Concord in EVE?

I don't play EVE. Never have, probably never will.

I think FCE should have a home world in the "center" of the universe. Or, Mack's city ship could be like a mobile capital.

I noticed a few in the "council of elders" I am older than.

So are you suggusting something like starwars where we are free to make our own groups, and you want those groups to be part of your "empire"? I suppose this could work, like some people would be in the main government, and others like pirates and rebel factions would be self-governing.

Only people too simple minded to understand the concept of Eve would refuse to play it. You should try it Mackeroth. It's really REALLY good.

We need to have something like the UN (United Nations) where if we wan to declare war there needs to be a vote, after a good reason is presented, by the members of the Futurecraft Empire Grand Council.

Like weapons slots on ships, there need to be ship slots in factions. A faction can not have an infinite number of ships. <Place MAckeroth's objection about not being mortal and being allowed to have every ship he wants HERE> There mackeroth. I now you dont have to argue with me cuz i did it for you. Your welcome
