If you can cope with New York, as well as remembering what you are fighting for, Xenos are one of the most fun factions to be a member of.
You have loads of enemies, and no friends. It's also fun to blow up the powersmugglers who announce their intents in system chat (duh...).
But be aware that there is likely to be a swarm of caps afer you (usually indie, the official fctions are good at keeping theirs under control), as well as the odd Outcast tagged/IDed container transport that will open up on your starflier without a word (-.-...)
