ULA vs. AIA

[Deadpooleon]

This thread was probably created already, but I couldn't find it, so I'm making one
Which faction do you prefer, and why?
EDIT: Might as well use this thread to find friends to play this game with

Personally I usually jump on whichever side has fewer players to help balance the teams, but I generally prefer the aesthetics of the AIA vehicles (basta and dhaka aside).

[Sora]

Prefer AiA, No real reason other than I like the weapon models.

[Deadpooleon]

I personally prefer ULA, for no real reason other than they seem like space 'Murica
Also, I am low on friends who own this game, I like to do private, co-opish games with friends, add me if interested

Same.

But in terms of gameplay and aesthetics:

Land infantry: ULA
I really dig ULA heavy suit design and ULA fighting doctrine (slower rate of fire, but more damage per shot), spin up / charge mechanic on some of AIA guns feels kinda clunky

Land vehicles: AIA
Basta and Dhaka have amazing mobility and you get stuck on geometry a lot less due hovering. Sure, ULA tank main canon damage is devastating, but it doesn't matter if it can't hit you due strafing

Space fighters: ULA
Sword is just too pretty (sorry Firefly). And I prefer ULA bomber railguns to torpedoes / plasma, being able to hit stuff from range is worth it even at cost of some damage

Space big ships: AIA
Ti Corvette is probably my favorite ship design in game

ULA MAIN

Most people (devs too) hang around official discord server: https://discord.gg/RpdCCvV
Also there is sort of event: Saturday 19:00 GMT+0. We had about 30 people last week.

If co-op is what you enjoy, more power to you. Doesn't hurt to join the discord channel though, since you could use it to find folks interested in co-op. Or you could troll the devs... er, I mean provide constructive feedback.

The warriors of Antares are the only correct answer.

Because nothing says your cause is righteous like a double barreled plasma cannon main battle tank.

[Scout890]

I prefer ULA as I like way most of their stuff looks and am somewhat sympathetic toward defending their sovereignty from the expansionist empire

[Raxus]

yeah I'd be interested in some privateish coop but most people trawl the discord for stuff, you're more likely to make friends that wanna do that there

[=CrimsoN=]

I really like the design of the AIA ships, the firefly starfighter just seems far more manoeuvrable than its sword fighter counterpart, but I like how the ULA uses overwhelming force in most of the attacking incursion maps.

So I can't make up my mind tbh

I lean more towards AIA though cause plasma weaponry and defending is fun :D
