There are many smaller FCs that join together in absorption. Leadership gets jumbled sometimes and the identity of one is sacrificed for another. Some people even get scammed. I would like to see a Free Company Alliance system. Or perhaps another word for it given how Alliance is already a term.

The small, independent group of 5 could hold hands with the one of 10. Still <Name> and <Other> but operating under the same house sharing or possibly Alliance buffs. <Name> may not have the credits for Reduced Rates II but <Other> does.

From the RP side, many small groups want to team up with others, but as I've mention do not want to sacrifice their banner for something bigger. Their lead, King FCLead wouldn't very well be King anymore if he's under the thumb of Queen OtherFCLead.

Something I'd think would be a nice implementation since I've seen it in other games. Maybe add Alliance rewards of furniture like the FC credit exchange as well.
