It's good to see another Xeno faction popping up, but what exactly does it add? The lore really isn't anything special or different. Same goals, same ships, same actions. Granted we've had a lot of indy Xeno groups pop up over the years, but they usually hold something different that justifies making a new faction other than wanting to lead something themselves.
Another question I hold: Will you be respecting XA's choices in friends? Meaning will you be shooting up USI or causing problems for them, showing hostility towards the odd Corsair smuggling in Liberty, ruffling feathers with Ames zoners, etc.
