Since the Factory is currently undergoing changes I figured, might as well post a suggestion to remove one of the most pointless parts of the Factory's restrictions.
Currently, this table is used to determine what a Person, Low Tier Company, and Minor Faction can field as far as ships are concerned.
As you'll notice an Individual can field up to 500m, which sounds fine and dandy, but its kinda pointless. You see, anyone can make a Minor Faction, which can field 2000m PC captained ships. Also anyone could (up to the Factory Closing) make a T2 Company and field an 800m Ship, while a T1 Company is more restricted than an Individual at 400m maximum.
There is no review process for Minor Factions. I could literally just go click "Add Faction" type "Anythingsville" and add it to the registry, and therefore I can use a 2000m ship as suggested in this Codex Submission.
So my suggestion, rather than being MORE restrictive and suggesting Admins and RPJ's police Minor Factions, would be to be LESS restrictive and remove everything below that 2000m threshold. Individuals, Companies, and Minor Factions all have that nice 2km or below must be PC captained.
For or against? Why or Why not?
