People love the differences that set factions apart, and the noisier ones tend not to look at or notice little changes in ICE like faction modifiers or hull/accel tweaks - they want the BIG, obvious differences like special stations or new ship abilities or extra equipment and whatnot. And the new stuff can't be crappy or else it'll be ignored (like everything GT has that isn't AP HTTs or PT bombers). Thus the anticipation for OH, and the silence after its release as Joe @#(!ty Pilot realizes its unique aspects are mostly only really visible to the comm and gets bored. And thus the desire for Nix, which has plenty to set it apart from the rest (and also happens to be cheese).
+1. However, I don't think desiring (well-balanced!) big differences between factions is a bad thing. It makes the game more fun in a way that looking over the Wiki's faction bonus tables simply cannot replicate.
I was so sad when OH stopped being "the turret faction."

Gotta love aerodynamics where there is no air.

Make me a set of gunship models, and I'll make you a gunship faction. Can't guarantee it'll get into CC of course, there really isn't room at this point.
Anything about OH could change if there's great demand for it. It's largely Weed's baby, but he wasn't sure how to make a turret faction both balanced and fun to fly so we got IC with telerefs and 3-turret bombers (followed by a series of nerfs) rather than let all that nice artwork go to waste.
