Okay so this idea was actually inspired by @Torahel's comment
Maybe an improve custom faction creator could allow it.
"It" being a reference to this thread, which is about hypothetically making some minor factions as major factions.
So improving the custom faction creator could be:
1. Choosing the image that goes along with your main population (I can't mod/code so I don't even know if this would be possible though)
2. Being able to make a custom faction whose population is one of the minor factions.
3. Having more freedom when designing the homeworld of your faction.
4. If Pirate/Minor Faction ships are ever expanded, then being allowed to choose those ships over others.
(for ground troops, the minor factions ground troop models are already added in game, so I figured it'd be possible to choose those too).
None of this is a critique against the custom faction creator though, I actually really enjoy it and use it a lot, but I think it can be improved or give more freedom to the players to create factions that aren't just reworked versions of only the major factions.
Also, I think it's good to note that some of these changes complicate with the Gameplay/Visual Affinity, but honestly I feel as if that needs a change too. It's a bit weird that I have Horatio ground troops fighting for a custom Vodyani with the Gene-Splice affinity.
Anyway, add any changes you would want in the comments and I'll put them in here with your name and stuff.
Cheers !
