Switching faction ?

[Nanian]

Currently going through the campaign, and I understand that the faction has to be locked due to story reasons.

Anyway, I went to start up a non-campaign game only to realise that I started out as the Solari Concord again and was wondering - is it possible to start elsewhere, or even align yourself with a different faction entirely ?

Currently, it's only possible to start the campaign as Concord, but we are definitely making plans on adding more starting factions. :)

Awesome stuff :) !

- When not going through the campaign, is it possible to switch like.. mid-game or something, somehow ?

Im almost certain you can only play as Concord.. They start as the weakest faction for a reason. So player can build an empire from nothing.

We are still brainstorming different ideas for how to implement additional factions, so anything might be possible. I will bring up your suggestion during our next talk about them.

We would like to have system that allows player to choose faction, but atm that's just an idea on our wish.

I'd also suggest that every faction you have the ability to join has a mini-campaign bunch of quests pertaining to that faction. Such as Korkyra ordering you on missions to defeat the Legacy. Or the Iolian Pact working with Multi-Ops attempting to cease their decline in power in gemini.

It would give a ton of replayability as each faction would have a different set of quests to do with their own conflicts and turmoils. However, before such an expansion I'd suggest that each faction you can join should have a full roster of ships from gunship to carrier, otherwise progression will feel very gimped playing for them.

I wish this game has different story campaigns. Like starting with a different faction and going through different story missions.

The sandbox elememt simply get boring eventually, and more story (even better, branching plot choices) is much better imho.

Well it does get boring eventually, it's same with every other game out there however. You might get hundreds of hourse in a game, someone else will get 50 and get bored. But it's all the same, at some point you'll get bored of the game no matter what it has.
