I still have no idea what faction I want to play..
Anyone got extra information on there play styles and lore that might help me pick? even personal opinion might help

Since faction warpgates locations change from time to time, 1 character on each empire is i think a good idea.

Well its beta have one character of each faction and have at it then when you have tried all 3 pick your favorite!!

If you aren't in the beta yet,

TR: bullet/rocket projectile based weapons (including bullet drop), high fire rate, low damage per bullet.
NC: bullet/rocket projectile based weapons(including bullet drop), lower fire rate, higher damage per bullet.
VS: green shit and lasers. (no bullet/projectile drop due to gravity, but decreased damage at range)

And also:
Terran: Fastest aircraft and a Fast tank. Tank can dual-shoot.
Conglomerate: "A tank in the air" aircraft. Possibly the most ideal tank stats (got shots and can take a punch)
Vanu: Most mobile tank and aircraft.. Tank should use front armor, because it's gun cannot rotate. Aircraft is great at dogfighting but bad Air-to-ground.

agreed! I have more then one of each all trying different builds. I tend to favor VS, but like all equally.

Things that are pretty awesome imo

VS= scythe, highly mobile magrider
NC= Sniping, Heavy infantry, anti air Max
TR= mosquito. I think it looks more like a whale or dolphin in the sky.

You forgot to mention Prawlers can deploy making them reload extremely fast. It's like almost shooting with a semi-automatic rifle. I have not tested exactly how long the reload time is but I would estimate it be 2-3 sec or so when deployed.

However it takes about 4 sec to deploy and after you have deployed you can't move the tank. When you want to move again you need to mobilize and that takes about 4 sec too. So you're a sitting duck when deployed and can't really quickly get a way if you start to get pounded too hard.

However they have week armor so only good for heavy support in the back lines taking shots form afar...

If you have played Warhammer 40k you can say that TR=Imperial Guard NC= Chaos Space Marines VS=Eldars when it comes down to troops and vehicles strengths and weakness.

Vanu tend to be far more cooperative with each other, this was true in PS1 and seems to remain true today. We have hover tanks, lasers, and wUB WUB guns. Also, the best ethos, not space nazis or space republicans, just people who want to be left the heck alone.

TR=Speed (Rate of fire and movement speed)
NC=Heft (High damage, High armor)
VS=Precision (Extreme accuracy and high agility)

find out what you are going to do.

If you are going to fly a lot, pick based on the aircraft. I love my scythe.

If you are going to be tanking it up, pick based on the tanks. Magrider > All(nerf it all you want, it's still amazing!)

If you are gonna be on the ground a lot, pick based on the MAX's and feel of the weapons. To be honest, I don't like the way the VS weapons work. But I deal with it because our vehicles are awesome.

I think I will have to try them all. So far I like the sound of TR play style and the VS lore
