Dukes buccaneers

I really like their cargo ships and want the blueprints for it. Is it possible to join them at all to get it or are they a non joinable faction.

After hijacking the 5th cargo ship I’m getting tired of pressing the C button and getting them to bail :(
I think it’s called promethius or something?

There is an entire branch of the Paranid Civil War story that is devoted to them! I recommend exploring it to see what happens with them!

In short, yes, you can get the Prometheus blueprint if you follow the plot line that makes them into a full faction.

The Paranid war plot has several possible out comes, one of which make's BUC into a full fledged faction that you can gain rep with, etc. It's the path that keeps the Paranid fractured and promotes a three-pronged war between PAR, HOP, and BUC (though renamed to TEM at that point). Once they become a faction (and you have the rep), you'll be able to purchase the blueprint. Side note, TEM is enemies with pretty much everyone except TEL, iirc. They are trouble makers, but decent for keeping the universe in a war stance if the xenon start to die off. [/spolier]

Thank you for the replies!! Are their any other miner factions like the BUC that can be made into factions or is it just them? I don’t mind spoilers

SCA pirates can also become a more developed faction if you terraform for them, also though yaki never really expand you can also have them develop some and become neutral with several factions, but they wont expand like duke will.

Should you unify PAR and HOP, you get sometime after finishing the campaign the option to sick them unto the whole gate network or select factions.

Resulting in Total Destruction and much profitsss if you are ready to supply Ships.
