Does anyone like the New Conglomerate?

[Creezey]

I like the rough rebel look of the NC Troopers.

No matter - purple, blue, and gold will fit in quite nicely with the vegetation on the ground.

[Grapes]

You are like the Stew of Vanu with better grammar.

[Infernalis]

The Vanu can also completely modify humankind in some very bad ways, deliberately or not. Not to forget there's some kind of religion thing with their fanatism.

They can also activate some sort of device and the real Vanu will come back to cleanse the galaxy
And only an alliance of the TR, NC and human Vanu could repel them

[Landtank]

The Vanu don't believe in the power of humanity and that just makes me sick. I don't mind the TR, but the VS is the ugliest faction, with the worst vehicles, and the worst weaponry.

Yeah, I feel like so much more care and logic was put into the armor and weapons of the two lesser factions. They all have armor on, while we have turtlenecks with some armor stuck to them. And the helmets feel really weak too, the other factions have masks over their faces looking like proper soldiers, and we have turtlenecks. But as ugly as we might be, were still going to dominate.

[Grognard]

Fuck it, Im going to splinter off, and create my own damn faction... Pirates. Our colors will be brown, and gray, like poop, and decay. Our special ability will be to steal shit, as in... all yer shit. Our smack-taunts will sound like a drunk Johnny Depp. Our faction tank will be the "Arrg", its made of wood... but it warps all over, and fires broadsides from multiple side mounted guns. Our motto will be "Rumncoke aint no joke..."

Fear the MF'n Skull and Crossbones bitchz.

[Vancha]

Edit: As far as the NC aesthetics go, I think some of their troops have gotten the short end of the stick. Infil, rexo and MAX are good, but I do think the light assault and engineer could be improved, while the NC medic is simply hideous.

Then you should be able to understand the fun of it for those who do.

New Conglomerate:

Best bang for your buck; Low RoF and high power weapons reward skilled play by making sure you place your shots.

Ragtag rebels; Originally founded by a corporation on the concepts of free market, being far removed from any setting where corporations hold any kind of significance and under the tyranny of the offworld TR (Who I might add, orchestrated an attack of "Terrorists" on one of their few ships, killing 70 something people, followed by assassinating the much beloved president and founder of the expedition along with 200 something people by blowing up their other battleship in order to assume control of the fleet).
And the Vanu who desire to mutate humanity into something befitting their own vision of an ascended humanity, greedily hoarding knowledge and shunning the rest of the human race as an inferior species.

Under the circumstance, the new conglomerate's desires shifted more towards freedom in general rather than free markets.

AMURICA F**K YEAH!; A mix of mercenaries, pirates, citizens and workers, the new conglomerate accepts anyone into their ranks, with their diversity providing their strengths. A mix of minds, skills and resources allows them to think outside the box and create some deadly, if unorthodox, tactics and weaponry.

So yes, a number of people like the NC. Usually for reasons deeper than "Omg, purple and scalloped crab people are so awsome looking!" and "red and black bad guys! Woo! I r so bad ass!".

It's a shame higby said the NC are just as bad as the other factions. I.e. They're just lying to gullible people to fight for their interests. Not freedom :V

[Gonefshn]

NC are more fun to shoot at than TR

Higby HAS to say that. As a matter of community representation of the dev team and SoE, he can't say one faction is the good guys and the others are assholes and lunatics.

Noone is perfect, but anyone who isn't a mouth-breathing retard can see NC are on a higher moral ground than TR or VS.

Not only corrupt, but are willing to have young girls brutalized if people don't do what they want.

Every tyrant in the making think they have the moral high ground.

Thats a blatant retcon by those in power. But real NC vets know the truth.
Dont trust The Man!
