Answer to the Long Question
Answer to long question (11.02.2025)
Hello everyone, welcome to dev diary, regarding upcoming major update for Question of Loyalty module
Option to retire
As many people suggested, I have added way to leave faction on peaceful terms : retirement. By giving up your title and holdings you will receive monthly payment. Not only that, but once you start your faction, if it is one of vanilla factions, their crisis will be fully resolved, adding new bonus!
It's time to retire old man
But, be warned, if you will decide instead to join another faction, their response will be much more different.
All actions have consequences
If you decide to backstab faction in such way, response will be... direct
Bonjour
Option to revolt
In commission intel you will see new button, once you will have at least one colony holding. From here you can start your own revolution inside faction!
Revolution which will be televised
Once started, there is no coming back! A new event will start, and you will need to defend yourself through waves of enemies. If successful, you will gain independence

Independence
With gaining independence your faction markets will gain new market condition!
Emergent Autonomy
Either way, if you backstab faction, and somehow manage to return to good relations, they will remember your actions, and wont make same mistake twice!
Actions have consequences part 2
Bugfixing and small overhauls
2.0 will also address numerous bugs that have been reported. Mainly a lot of soft locks will be removed, cause now you will be able to attack fleets from same faction, but remember, going to -50 relations will automatically cancel your contract, and sent bounty fleets against you!
In addition, earning commission points will get small overhaul, making other quests also a viable source of points, and not steamroll through ranks by just beating all enemy fleets along way.
I planned much more for 2.0, but this patch is getting unfortunately rushed, so it is ready before Alex releases .98 version of game. After .98 I will return to work again on Question of Loyalty. Not to mention I am slowly running out of steam,due to this rush, but as always, I am trying my best!
That it is for today, have a nice day ^^
