Feds forcibly occupy Maia, repeatedly bully Palin, why do people support them in the CG???

It sure beats backing a genocidal Empire who has managed to all but completely brainwash their society into willingly embracing becoming slaves. If the Federation forcibly occupies Maia you can rest assured it's to keep the Empire's grubby little alien-strangling hands away from it.
Money, dear boy. Money.
That allows for murder and chaos to reign....bahahahaha welcome to the galaxy cmdr! Do you know what game you're playing? Are you not aware of the high profile people the Federation has done away with to preserve their secret agendas? And maybe you forgot about the Federation's war on onionhead back in 3300? Where they would shoot on sight for ships carrying any amount and they bombed the farms killing their own citizens? And you accuse the Imperials of being the muscle? It is true but that is also the pot calling the kettle black!
Please point out where I said the Federation is perfect.
I view the Federation much like the landscape of Bladerunner, or a myriad of other dystopian science fiction themes (since they all borrow from one another.) Bladerunner brought it to everyone quite visually and blurred the lines of morality and what defines being human, by showing the Replicants had more in some ways than the humans that created them (another recurring science fiction theme.)

Maybe some people believe that but I sure as "h-e double hockey sticks" do not.
You didn't but if youre gonna say Imperials are muscling around and Ant Hill Mob is chaotic and murderous without acknowledging that the Federation is guilty of the same it just doesn't make for a very strong point. Also you imply that the Federation winning Maia from the AHM will introduce control over the system. I think that only invites more conflict.
There seems to be some disconnect between "support" and "blind loyalty" here. Do I support the Federation? Damn right I do, but I do not, nor will I ever believe they are perfect in every way, because they aren't, it isn't possible to be perfect either.
Ah well.

Palin is a corporate shill masquerading as a neutral scientist. The Federation is simply doing what is needed to be done for the good of the galaxy.
Edit: hey, you guys could always train your slaves to fly if you are feeling outnumbered!
But he makes Exceedingly good engine upgrades. Nothing must happen to Palin, till at least i get my Vette Engines tuned to be incredibly dirty!
But they aren't guilty of creating spheres of influence where there is literally no law and anyone can murder anyone for any reason? Especially not in systems that would require some inkling of order, given the fact that they are in a system that is supposed to be dedicated to research.
I have acknowledged that the Federation muscles in and does some questionable at times.
And it will introduce control and order, at least in the most base form; that little "lawless" indicator beneath all ships in Maia will disappear within two weeks due to Federal victory in the system.
As for whether it will invite more conflict, that is yet to be seen, though I will say, the only faction I can see attacking Maia after this will be the Empire, especially given Patreus's disregard for Fed/Imp treaties.
Or the Thargoids.

Might want to get it soon. Palin hasn't said a peep since it started and with the Federation being the victor, he might go into hiding again and cut everyone off on Clean and Dirty drive upgrades. People have been screaming for a "persistent galaxy." That's pretty persistent if you ask me.

You mean like Hudson pushing Halsey to take a tougher stance, and when she does, she has innocent civilians killed en masse? Then she conveniently disappears afterwards and Hudson takes over. Nope, nothing like the Empire as all.

Funny how Halsey was removed from the picture, wasn't it? Some would even suggest there may be a conspiracy involved but who really knows but who ultimately gained?
I want Halsey back, she's the one person who might be able to give better insight into the machinations of the human power struggle and may even have courted the Aliens...or at least some of them.
I could never understand how anybody could support the Feds. When I left their space and entered Imperial space the game changed greatly for me as the Imperials have better music, cooler ships, and have blue stations instead of those dark red ones the federation has. Its almost like the Feds are screaming "Hey we are the bad guys! Just look out our evil red stations!"
