Best superpower

[perseus]

I am currently in the alliance just because... Well tbh I have no idea, but I just recently saw that there are no real perks for being in the alliance so what's your opinion?

[Inscydeus]

There's no real perks other than rank and rank locked ships (Imperials and Feds), but the ranks are pretty meaningless and there's no penalty for moonlighting between all three. It's more a case of aligning with one for RP reasons. If I had to choose just one, I would probably choose the Alliance purely because they seem to be the least corrupt out of all three.

For more involved faction play you can look at powerplay. Kind of obtuse in implementation but it is fun if you get into it.

It depends. If you like to be on a winning side, then the best one is at the top.

If you like to serve somebody, who looks good, then it's either Aisling Duval, or Yuri Grom, depending on your preferences.

At the end they all are just politicians - don't believe anything they state.

Best superpower? that depends on your political opinion now doesn't it? The federation to me is like the USA, capitalistic, spends way too much money on military leaving other areas lacking. The empire is a liberalistic monarchy i think? They value personal freedom and wealth highly. They're a lot more corrupt than the federation in my opinion, as they use slavery as a workforce. I don't know anything about the alliance except that they are a lot of minor systems and factions working together to stand up against the 2 main superpowers. The alliance seems to be the least corrupt to me, but i could be wrong As for perks, all you can do is unlock some ships in the federation and empire, and some special modules with power play i guess.
Personal i chose to be with the feds mainly, as they have that sweet corvette, although i also have a cutter (couldn't resist)

Alex, the Mepire isn’t corrupt in the usual sense. Imperial slaves indenture themselves, due to debt usually, rather than being rounded up and chained or collected from battles like the “slave” title implies. They’re extremely open about valuing money and influence and power, their governing is based on it, but an unpopular influential rich powerful magnate can still be removed, unlike the Federation where they value the same things but it all happens behind the scenes, and someone in power stays there. The Alliance values freedom for individual systems to determine their own fate. That means they tacitly endorse slavery, piracy, murder, despotism, and anything else that might happen in any of their systems. They are no common government, they’re just a common navy.

OP: are you asking about SUPERPOWERS (of which there are 3) or POWERPLAY FACTIONS (which ascribe to one of the three Supers, or are independent)? Because there is a galaxy of difference.

The Best super power is the Far God.

You guys are confusing superpowers with faction powers in PP. There are only 3 superpowers in the game. Federation, Imperial and Alliance.

Far God is the fourth super power. I thought I was the one making fun of everyone mixing things up.

power of Q... :)

There is no best superpower. The Alliance are a weak, ineffectual confederacy, the Federation is a powerful capitalist society unfortunately mired in corruption and the Empire is a totalitarian hereditary monarchy with an eye for aesthetics and 18th century style aristocratic intrigue.

So basically choice between pre-Napoleonic France, the Nixon era USA, and the Swiss on any given week-day.

"Best superpower"

lol

There are no superpowers.
Only powers.

And the best they can, is to give you acess to some of their specific equipment. Besides that there is no any reason stay pledged, so usually cmdrs pledge, wait 3 weeks, get stuff and leave for good after this. Being pledged give cmdr only problems with the current game design. Thats all you wanna know about PP.
