Forgive my onslaught of nooby tip requests, but working through the massive list factions and affiliations is somewhat intimidating.
i have read through most of anything I can read, but I thought a post like this could be a nice reference for people who do not understand their faction.
If we get a nice summary in this post from some players, it will be cool to just send the noobies here!
So if you don't mind, dear Veterans of Disco, please give an easy discription of your faction alliances and enemies that a brand new or lazy assed player would understand.
and yes... I know we can just send them to the rules etc. but lets get them started at least... feed a baby milk before you slap him with the T-Bone!
I'll start...
As an officer of the Black Talon I am an Employee to RepEx, that means that they pay me a salary to look after their interests.
I am trained and licensed by the Rheinland Military, this means that I need to keep an eye out for pirates and terrorists around Rheinland and have the authority to arrest or attack them.
The biggest ship I can fly as BT is a gunboat because it can also be used to transport goods.
As a RepEx trader (RepEx-Shipping|007), I must respect all lawful authorities, particularly those outside Rheinland, as there are currently mounting tensions all over the place. Basically I announce my intentions whenever I enter a system.
As a trader in general, it is my priority to make the maximum profit I can off each load.
This means I don't risk losing it to Pirates and Terrorists but rather avoid confrontations if I can and pay my way out whenever needed.
Easy Peasy, for detailed info, head to the RepEx Recruiting page here:
You can also go to your rep sheet and click on the NPC factions to get a breif description of each. Also, the "Info" page of major bases usually has a little history.
The BLS controls the cardamine trade in all 4 houses, primarily Kusari. As a member, you either 1.) smuggle, 2.) escort the smugglers, or 3.) pirate (on the side).
66th Outcast Fighter Wing - 101st/202nd
The 101st' main task is the protection of Outcast space, which includes Omicron Alpha, Beta, and 85, as well as Tau 37 and 23.
The 202nd' main task is the 'assault squadron'. It leads attacks on the Outcasts' enemies.
LPI - Liberty Police, Inc.
The LPI's RP is that of a disgruntled, donut-chewing, coffee-sipping police force. We fly Liberators and Patriots, as well as SWAT bombers (under construction). We make jokes at everyone's expense, including our own, and police Liberty space. We never go near pirate bases and don't stray far from the trade lanes and marked paths.
Mandalorians
Mercs for hire, we work for the RM, QCRF, LSF, and NovaPG. I'm not very active in this one, Dieter or Gronath can tell you more.
Hellfire Legion
Not very active in this one either, but they're an exiled military from Liberty, acting under the protection of the Lane Hackers.
