    Hello everyone.

    I was thinking of starting a new faction and I was advised to post it here to get any ideas :)
    I know that it is a big project that will take months and it is not sure that Eleon will accept it
    but I am willing to try :)
    I am trying to find the right lore/history/faction colours/name so I can start working on it.
    As a general idea I don't want to make a faction that has as main idea rebels or waste etc.
    I was thinking about an Empire with shiny ships (aka not dark colours or looking old).
    Any help would be appreciated :)

    First I would suggest you need a general idea for the faction. What kind of empire is it, a trade empire? Imperial/dictator empire? Religious empire? Empire of peaceful nations?

    Empire of light?
    Empire of darkness? (i.e. a bunch of evil gits)

    also once you have the lore worked out could add in some history to tie the faction into the game more and help to explain why they interact the the way they do with other factions, see the docs i sent you for an example
