Shell FCs are a bigger problem than we think...

[Nepentha]

Trying to stay out of most of this argument but I do want to touch on this point.

Why do most players want a personal house? They want a chance to decorate a house to their liking along with access to gardening.

What do most FCs not grant the majority of their members? A chance to decorate and garden at the FC house. The house tends to end up the plaything of the leader and sometimes the officers. That's also tends to be true of the workshop airships and submersibles. Some don't even give members access to the Fabrication Station when there are no downsides to allowing it unless the officers like leaving projects sitting on the station half finished.

There's little point in saying that FC houses accommodate more players if most FC members aren't getting what they want from housing out of it.

I get what you're saying but I think he's just trying to drive home a point, that's all. Worrying over FCs with less than 4 members having housing, over personal houses who can only ever have a set number of people using them at max.
