Ok everyone. This is it- the biggest announce since the release of Elite Dangerous. Yes, I know that many consider me waaay too involved to be objective... Still- read this. Read and cry tears of joy. http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=b0a8ebba0bWhether everything will play out as planned or not- I don't know. I certainly see how everything can actually be. *Deep breath* Gentlemen, check your ships primary systems well- there's a war ahead and everyone's invited. Over and out.

On there website there is a section that gives a break down of the basic ideals of each faction. The Empire seems to be a mix of both Roman and Feudal Japanese influence or maybe the empire of star wars with less blatant racism. The alliance reminds me a bit of the Brown shirts from firefly and the federation seems like a bunch of corrupt bholes S

We should really consider choosing a faction and starting our Home Sector... Of course any Empire dog will be killed on sight FEDERATION! Freedom through Unity, Unity through Superior Firepower!

Is there a good summary of both that we can look at? I am not familiar with the factions yet. Federation Empire Alliance Pilots Federation Should give you a good over view Mojo. Also note that only the Empire and the Federation have ranks and ships. Also the Pilots Federation isnt really a faction but it is. If that makes sense..... As for which one I'm going with, I'd say For the EMPIRE! Im currently stuck in Federation space, rounding up slaves...hehe!

Empire all the way .... we need a strong leader not some bunch of corrupt democrats or some group of allied worlds who dont know whats even going on around them... (also imperial ships look a whole lot more stylish)
Dont think of it as being vastly outnumbered ... but just having a large target selection.
The only thing more accurate than incoming fire, is incoming friendly fire
Tracers work BOTH ways...

I'm looking forward to the potential this will create for some good old fashioned cloak and dagger trickery. And concepts like the Alliance Diplomatic Corps intrigue me. http://elitediplomats.com/

So what's the difference between Federation and Empire to me?
Well, the Fed leaders are a bunch of hypocritical plutocrats while the Imperial leaders are a posse of haughty plutocrats.
Spare me the "but the Empire, they are slave drivers" or "the people are free in the Federation" nonsense, as in Fed space you will find something very similar. Only less regulated, hushed up and certainly named anything else, but slavery. You don't believe me? Check out their outer mining colonies, but be careful. It's not something the forces approve of if you get your nose too deeply in that...
If the Empire and the Federation want to go toe-to-toe I'll simply side with the better paying party. Or have the more stylish ships. Or hotter girls. Or better beer. Or I'll simply flip a coin.
If however one of them takes on the Alliance I'll not care about the money...the Alliance is not perfect, but at least allows a larger degree of freedom to it's members. Sadly some fringe nutters are included, but anyway - for the Alliance!
Ignore the rambling by the imposter above. Turns out I'm allied with the Empire now, so all hail the Emperor!
