Thank you everyone, you have all been extremely helpful for telling me things about factions. I must agree that being a freelancer is a tad boring, I plan on creating multiple characters for at least 2 player factions. I am currently RPing with Interspace Commerce and it is going quite well. (I RPed out of a pirate situation!)
Thanks again for all your suggestions.
*just a note, I would like to know the factions that need recruits, so I know which one I should join to balance out factions in Disco.
You are certainly off to a very good start, I'd like to one again say "welcome!"
I would also like to suggest the PanGalactic Travel Company as a faction you could join. I am not a member of the faction, but I can tell you with certainty that they are an excellent faction. You can find more information here: http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=25790
