* new PMF's (Player Minor Factions) will have to start off with the same allegiance as their chosen home system
* new PMF's may have to start from the bottom as far as influence levels are concerned
* PP capital systems & permit-required systems will be no longer be available to be the homebase of PMF's

FD will soon be publishing a master list of all the existing PMFs.

But will they fix the issues that are leaving some PMF's at the bottom no matter what is done ? *sigh*

How bad is your influence level right now ? I was planning to jump to Priva this (my) morning then the ED servers suddenly went on strike :?

In hindsight, its how it should have been from the start! A journey to totally conquer one system before the PMF could expand into another! Several civil wars to win and take over a station at a successful outcome of each would have given the right springboard to move to another system. The situation we have in OoM is as if we have shot our bolt!

You-re right there, while PMFs have been a welcome addition, it really has messed up some areas and potential lore to have them suddenly appear as the top dog in their systems. Having them work their way up is more organic and satisfying.

I wonder if in the future FD will end up culling abandoned PMFs.

I don't think we have "shot our bolt", we have maintained a strong influence in Azrael from day 1, and we reached an expansion scenario in good time. The issue is with Exioce, which at this time, is in my opinion, a lost cause.

There is also the issue of Rafferty's Mobius, to have started and not owned the station (whilst adding some game play elements) doesn't seem right. The name of the station isn't a coincidence, Mobius backed the game to such a level at the kick-starter that he was able to name the station (and the planet it orbits), it seems only proper that his player faction started with ownership of the station that he paid to name.

More importantly when can I pledge my allegiance to The Order, like I can when I go into a combat zone but all the time?
