Hey all,
Had this idea for a while and I think it's been brought up in the past? In many active factions often one or two officers distinguish themselves in a faction leadership structure, they pretty much take on as much work and responsibility as the actual faction leader. But it's hard to give these officers the tools they need to maximise their potential. Obviously, some permissions shouldn't be in the hands of regular officers - however, these 'outstanding officers' have shown that they are capable of having more responsibility than regular officers.
My idea would include an extra rank in the faction rank system, that would be able to assume extra permissions and commands. I believe that this rank should only be able to be given to one or two members of a single faction that way the title is one of prestige.
With only 4 current ranks it's kinda hard to give permissions to those who truly deserve them, without sacrificing security or effective leadership. I think it also would give an incentive to "co-leaders' to improve their faction beyond what they did as an officer, this could be a healthy boost to the faction environment. It could also help solve some faction succession issues, obviously giving priority to co-leaders over officers. All aside, It would another dynamic to factions that I think could make them a bit more interesting as there have been few real changes to this plugin in recent history.
I can't really see a downside to this expansion, other than actually implementing into the faction plugin.
Thoughts,
Aey
