Why is TR the most popular right now? Discuss here.

I'm having a difficult choice between TR and VS. For some odd reason, I don't really care about the NC.

I'll prolly end up going TR though, since I've been thinking of joining them since nigh the begining.

I chose Vanu because it was the underdogs. Alot of people are going to TR but I think that VS will make this game pretty interesting. As for NC... well they're just there...

it seems to me that VS and NC would appeal to younger, less mature people.

The Vanu are purple. I could care less about them afte I saw that.

Yeah, TR people are much more mature

[Zarparchior]

Aren't we all?

Funny how everyone thinks about the Jackhammer when they think of NC weapons.

The Gauss tend to be ignored, even though it will likely be just as good(or better) at ranged attack as the cycler due to the fact that the gauss's bullets do more damage per shot, and you're going to be bursting shots at range anyways.

I will admit our MAX's anti-infantry configuration is kind of lame for ranged combat though. But heck, the bases aren't going to be taken with just long ranged battles.

I have been wondering this for a while, but it seems to me that VS and NC would appeal to younger, less mature people. I know, of course, that there are plenty of teenagers who are trustworthy enough to take orders even if they mean sacrificing a shot at glory. It always seems like the older someone is, the higher the chance they'll work as a team, instead of just trying to capture a base by themselves. I have a feeling as long as I'm NC, I'll get fed up with having fools for teammates. I may join TR afterall...

Wow, how long did it take you to think of that?

It's been bugging me ever since I first checked out these forums.

[Medicine Man]

Ummm not to be the devils advocate but are they all going to equal out in the end more or less. Increased firepower = lower damage per bullet(TR). More damage per bullet = lower firepower(NC). Unlimited bullets = less damage or lower firepower or both. So I don't think anyone group is better I just think everyone is going to be TR because they can't aim and are going to compensate by firing tons of bullets instead.

Very true. This may give an advantage to those with poor twitch skills.

I got a question. If the Terran Republic does conquer the NC and VS. what do you think they will do to traitors? umm.. what any country will do in our society on Earth... exterminate them.

The Terran Republic is like the Holy Roman Church and the Vanu is like the Protestants... and what happened to the Protestants? oooh they got slaughtered for their beliefs...

Every human either wants power or love. The Terrans want Power and the Vanu wants Love.

I choose the Vanu...

We've come this far... now there's no turning back.

[BLuE_ZeRO]

According to the background stories... going to try to phrase this so it doesn't seem like I am a hippy story fanatic... I read that the Vanu don't neccesarily want "love" they just want the human race to evolve. They want them to embrace technology. They think TR is holding them back. At least that's what I gathered from the whole thing. Frankly I could care less about the story I just want to kill something possibly with the front end of my galaxy...

[Navaron]

I think if I didn't know the background story, I would definately go with the TR. They look the coolest, and they can sling the most heat so.... Question, do they get redder or blacker as they go up in rank? or do they remain the same scheme? If they got blacker, then that would be a real advantage at night.... Flame away boyz I got my nomex on.

[Airlift]

Redder. And we're not very flame-happy here.
