As far as I can see - there are none. (as of now that is). PvP is non-rewarding (nothing gained from sinking others' ships), they cannot be boarded (believe me, I tried), don't yield loot or medalions. The only advantage is to switch to pirate faction and capsize non-hostile pirates for their booty. Other than that - meh.

Short answer: be a loner
Long answer: they will implement faction missions and maybe faction hulls.
The only purpose of the factions is to get griefed by other players since you get damaged.
But being a courier helps a lot with helicopers since the floaters and aircrafts are friendly.
There are repeatable missions for the courier at the chasm
Even rangers have repeatble missions at three whales.
But the risk of geting 1shot by players is not worth it

So essentially currently there are only two factions in the game:

1. regular players
   
2. griefers

That faction is called "a really greedy guy who hides his side-locks under his captain's hat".
Can't you see him anxiously rubbing hands in expectation of profit? No not like that. of !!!PROFIT!!! xD

P.S. Sorry if it sounded a bit racist

I have one more question...I changed faction to the pirates today. I then played for a few hours and noticed that the faction changed itself to Courier. also automatically without me doing it. but why? Can someone explain that? 🤔🤔🤔

Some quests switch you to the corresponding faction, even if 24 hours have not passed. But i don't remember what happens when you finish that quest

You switch back as soon as the mission is turned in.

oddly enough faction mission stopped being repeatable. Not sure if this is by design or something broke. They just no longer appear for me, regardless of faction i Join.
