I admire all three factions, however - Also on the fence between VS and NC.

NC are obviously the better choice when it comes to the gameplay - Inaccurate and short-ranged weapons can be compensate by proper aiming techniques. Also, the lack of mobility for vehicles isn't that much of an issue, I mean come on, what - Is a Prowler really going to kill a vanguard by circle strafing? Maybe if the vanguard driver is a scrub, but still.

But I'm choosing VS as my primary faction because of the ideology :>

Oh well, you can play as different factions on different servers, at least.

Burst fire to the face/back of face is going to be pure murder :P
NC also get the M107 of auraxis and the desert eagle and the 7.62 AR. SOOO make those first shots score to the head and TR/VS will be crying out of their exposed oesophagees (my wonderful plural for oesophagus).

The entry you speak of is a correspondence between some NC higher ups on earth and it shows a legitimate desire to change laws for the sake of freedom of speech and belief. There are undertones of desire for profit, but they ARE a corporation and theres nothing inherently wrong with that, certainly not as bad as brutalizing young women or killing innocent people...

Shows that the TR leadership are willing to use blackmail to get things done and have no love on Connery.
Not exactly great quality's but there is no evidence of what their plans are. Blowing up the ship may or may not have been the plan.

It also shows that the NC are willing to murder woman civilians who have risked everything to help them, presumable because paying her what she wanted would have had too much of an impact on their profits.

I suspect in the fullness of time we will see each faction had a reason and means to to blow up the ship and we will never know for sure who is responsible.

also;

The VS may seem all innocent and benevolent but who knows what and what the voices in their head a saying, for all we know it is an elaborate scheme by an alien race to enslave all of humanity.

Put simply I chose VS mostly because I thought they sounded like the crazy ones and that was cool to me.

Your definitely going to get the most unique feel with VS.

Also why the purple hate?

I've been stuck in indecision between NC and VS as well, but for different reasons. Basically, do I want to be a corporate-run terrorist(awesome)? Or do I want to be a crazy-as-hell laser cultist(awesome)? It's too difficult!

I also like both lasers and shotguns, so what am I supposed to do???

The Vanu Sovereignity don't claim to be the only enforcers of what is right, or that they give absolute freedom, but they do claim to be unafraid of progress, and that is why I follow.

Connery was a good guy. He embodied any semblance of humanity in TR from earth. Seems interesting that Nc would try to save connery, but blow up the sip he was on. Anyone who has two brain cells to rub together can read between the lines...

In his defense, she DID have a knife to a man's throat. We get the idea that she would have killed him if she had turned it on. His buddy killed her to save him after she freaked out.

It was mentioned ina stream by higby that they were heavily considering it because it seemed overly effective.

Where's the lore that mentions individuals? I've only found vague timelines.

So glad to see I could have persuaded you to join our side, guga. Welcome to the purple and teal!

The Vanu Sovereignty will fall just as the Vanu fell before. Their precious technology didn't save them from destruction and it won't save you.

welcome brother.

All the entries are there, so far.

Gugabalog · 2012-07-27, 10:35 PM

Ah. Thanks. But yeah, the idea of a tactical, fairly large outfit excited me. It's the best this dream game has to offer

They never actually tried to save Connery. Sure, they reported the information to the bosses, and some in the NC probably liked Connery... But what some grunts think and do does not matter that much when the corporations are in charge.

Anyway, good that you decided. I prefer the Vanu to the NC, but I also like killing Vanu more than killing NC. I shall see you on the battlefield.
