How will this improve the experience for new players? It is a steep learning curve for new starters as it is, this will just confuse the hell out of them. At least previously they just had to choose a nation, now they will have a bewildering choice of clans/ companies etc, with no real idea of how the system works. Far too complex a system. Besides it feels as though you are just doing away with nations and turning everyone into Pirates under a different name. I just don't get it.
