No love for the Alliance ... again

If you want to put your own spin on it so it is saying nothing feel free to, as clearly they have all the time in the world to do all the things they want right now.
Just like passenger missions
It all must be a conspiracy, and clearly the only correct interpretation of what was said was they never wanted the alliance in game in the first place, it was a mistake, and there will never be any alliance content, ever, all based on "next question"

If you can prove me wrong, i'll be seriously happy to hear it. But right now, FDev doesn't bother to even copy-paste ranks 1 year after the release, even for the next season of expansions. Do you seriously think they're THAT lazy?
 
I must agree the alliance seems very left out in the cold, whilst still busy expanding their influence grinding away and you have to ask yourself for what? What makes us alliance members feel all warm and fuzzy inside? Empire gets special ships, fed get special ships. Do we get a discount on anything? Unless it's agricultural then no... I don't see any John Deere dealerships anywhere?

It's about time the alliance ratified itself as an organisation rather than a collection of members.
 
I am not sure what you really want beside licence to complain
You seem to want the Alliance to have everything the other factions have but in a way that isnt the same but not miss out on what is the same but that same isnt good enough either

Reading comprehension apparently isn't one of your strengths.

How about anything the other factions have?

Like
- meaningful powerplay bonusses (Alliance bonusses are so good that they don't even create better trade routes than the ones already existing. The rating 5 bonus is a cruel joke. Might as well give a 100% Sidewinder discount. Would be as useful.)
- meaningful powerplay equipment (Alliance equipment: A Coffee heater. Well, we are not alone in that, most PP equipment isnt any good.)
- Story (Storyline of the Alliance so far: The Fed president plans to visit former Fed systems now under Alliance control. The Fed president goes missing. End of story). Every single Empire power had more story than the whole Alliance.
- Ships (number of Alliance ships: 0)
- Ranks (number of Alliance ranks: 0)
 
100% agree with OP and others - and... aghh ... today stream with some silly stuff like WOW ! Thats incredible now we can make our own ammo if we run out of it !, is total disappointment...

Ok - Federal corvette was really nice, other ships = laziness of dev witch began with daimondbackx2.

Edit: Ammo stuff - ok that would have sense if there will be galactic auction house where you can sell it or buy it - like WoW but since there isnt ....

Edit 2: Dont get me wrong - other ships look great varriants as of cobra/viper/t6/asp ... but come on these should be included when you reach 30 ships and then make it. As imperial cutter, well lets say concept art was a way better looking ship for me.

Now you're just getting hypocritical.
 
I for one cannot wait for the day that a brand spanking new capital ship for the Alliance is launched from Alioth shipyards. It will be a good day for the Alliance to rub it in the Federal swines and Imperial scums face's.

Maybe the Alliance is a bit like the EU.. Too busy arguing points in a comittee than actually doing anything and as a result the poodles of greater powerz :p

A full on power conflict between federation and empire might stir things up enough for the Alliance to get its act together..

What exactly ARE the Alliance military vessels? I'm asking because I can't actually find them outside of capital ships, and we don't get to fly around in those ourselves, so what are they? The Turner Class was mentioned, only, you can't buy one of those, only a few were built and those are all accounted for so..

I honestly can't find Alliance military vessels that would fit, no Condor/Imp Fighter equal, no Courier equal, no FDS/FAS/FGS or Imp Clipper equal, no Corvette/Cutter equal, so seriously, what are these ships you want?

Otherwise, I'm in agreement with you, the Alliance needs ranks and all that, but I'm just lost as to WHAT goodies they should be offering, so some help please?
 
Well seeing how the past games/lore went you did see the Alliance become friendly with the Thargoids. So I would assume you may get a product of that.
 
Read up AAAl of Alioth aka The biggest shipyard in the galaxy declaring themself the official alliance shipbuilder.

Yes but politically Alliance is still actually just as the name says, an "alliance" of independent systems.

It doesn't have a standing armed forces. It is more of a contribution of armed forces from member states.

Alliance do have official ship makers in their lore but they are also not "exclusive" alliance ships, for example, Saker MkIII, Harrier, Spar, etc from previous games are all alliance shipyards made ships but are not exclusive.

Alliance was - how many weeks at number one?

Alliance hold how much territory? - with how many players?

In the face of how much undermining?

At some point FDev will have to acknowledge in-game that the Alliance are playing this game extremely well.
 
The Alliance will never get ships.
The Alliance will never get ranks.
The Alliance will never get a story.
The Alliance will never get anything worthwhile. It can literally haul cheaper crap. That should be enough.

Sorted. If they change their mind you can be pleasantly surprised. On to the next.
 
Hopefully the lack of content is more of a signal that they are taking their time with it for the benefit of the game and the lore...

Hopefully.

Yeah I guess being the furthest away from everything makes you guys good at power play that and not having a split player base spread across several powers.

You mean as in "the only power that can reliably be undermined by all other powers"?
 
The puny Alliance is too small and broke to make their own line of ships so they steal everyone elses. :p

According to lore, the Alliance had the most advanced shipyards in the Elite universe. Perhaps they are biding their time and letting the Empire and Federation show off a little first before they show what a real spacecraft looks like. ;)

The Alliance will have its day in the sun. Let's be patient. OK... let's be more patient.

Cheers,

Drew.
 
If we go by the lore of the previous games, I'd guess that the Alliance will play an increasingly important part when the Thargoids show up.

Alliance/Thargoid hybrid fleet, anyone?

We have loads, but frontier just does not see the point of even trying to add them.
