Just wondering....

Under the factions section there are 2 other symbols. I'm assuming they had planned or are planning to add them some day. I was hopeing someone had some info on these factions....


After I totally finish my main (Fed) and the game has really taken root I plan on making some sort of space pirate/swashbuckelr type toon. But I really wanted to make him in a more neutral faction other than KDF..


Thanks for any info =)

    Oh man...really?

    Well when it's all said and done what faction has the largest margin for lawless/neutrality? Where a human freelance type (and his really cool misfit crew) can roam the galaxy and do whatever they want. with Fed being the most lawfull....where would the others fall in?


    thanks...

    They're all governed by strong governments with laws. The Klingons have the least-intrusive government in the IP.

    Well I will say having a big brutish lizzard for a security chief is appealing. And a naughty little green vixen as my science officer! this is looking cool.....


    Thanks for the info folks =D

    Yep, I think this is true. We frequently have seen in-canon that the various Klingon factions / houses / commanders can be very self-serving and lawless. Generally they respect their own cultural beliefs more-so than any law system, it would seem.

    And within the game's Klingon faction, there's also the Orions and Nausicans who are basically entire societies of pirates. :)

    Tho cryptic says the Empire frowns on pirating this isnt entirely true... in fact as long as its not on them they wholeheartedly endorse it... thus the "Raiding ships" IE bops and whatnot, raiding supply lines is a favored tactic used quite often. Also venturing forth and dominating and terrorizing is also endorsed it has been for centuries within the klingon emipre ..watch any show in the series with klingons in it. So if your looking for a cool lawless faction thats not neutral Klingon is the way to go. Since I dont think that they will ever add a pirate faction in the next 5 years at least Id say go for it.

    In case anyone was curious, here's the web page they are all referring to. I had to go look for it myself. I don't usually peek there. =)
