Allegiance... whom will you pledge?

Don't know if this theard exists already. But now that the powers are shown, I would like to know who people will chose and why?

I have not devided yet, but I tend to help either the Empire or an Independent power.

I have no real worry about the powers themselves. I'm perfectly fine to slip between them all, grab up the ranks and the fancy ships, and just dance around Human Space as I deem necessary.

However, I'm primarily a Bounty Hunter, so hello there Arissa, you got yourself a new Bounty Hunter eager to take advantage of all those bonuses to Bounty claims. Now where's the closest wretched hive of scum and villainy? Papa needs a new pair of shoes!
 
As is your Avatar and yes, I do know her name, (but it will be censored here!).

I have decided to join my own faction!

None of the above! (guess what movie thats from :D)

But yeah, not sure whom to join honestly, so gonna stay a freelancer for now.
 
Edmond Mahon, because I've sworn allegiance to the Alliance of Independent Systems.
On a side note, I want his jacket, it looks cool.
Another side note: Aisling Duval looks beautiful, but I can't support her.

Whomever gets me what I want the fastest. Right now, I'm thinking Zachary Hudson. He's high up the league in terms of his power. He like law and order, bounty hunter style and that suits me. I think I could get rich off his increased power. Plus, I have a future desire to fly one of those fancy Federal Corvettes, so best to stay chums with the feds.
.
Of course, I'll be expecting some nice perks come my employment review, or I'll be off looking for a job with someone else.

Yes, I'm only really out for myself! Ask not what you can do for your power, but what your power can do for you. ;)
 
As Asp Pilot and owner of a Sirius permit I should go for Li Yong Rui.
I had really wished some Power for the Van Maanen's star..., hmm maybe I should choose Pranav Antal then.
 
I suppose I'll go Hudson for now - I'm already friends with the feds and stationed somewhere near the bottom of his influence area. But will work my way upwards and finish within the green alliance : ) hopefully they'll have ranks and their own ships by then.

I'm having a hard time deciding, actually. I'll do a first draft of how I think about this vis a vis the RP restrictions I throw on myself to define my Cmdr's journey through the void!

a) Don't like slave trade, like to disrupt or end slave trade if I do anything related to it!
b) I like me an underdog.
c) For nostalgia's sake from older Elites, I love indeps and Alliance above Feds and Empire.

With that in mind, list:

1. Pranav Antal (I like an indep underdog, and Archon Delaine sells people into slavery while Li-Yong Rui wants to be a corporate NSA/FBI/CIA data collection all-in-one as economic tyrant over Big Galactic Data, so techno-utopian cult it is!)
2. Edmund Mahon (same underdog theory going here, since Feds and Indeps count 2 apiece, Empire counts 4 and there's a pirate king out there but Alliance just gets one, ranking below every Fed and half the Empire to start)
3. Felicia Winters (the Edmund Mahon of the Feds)
4. Aisling Duval (the Felicia Winters of the Empire, and the only one who thinks slavery's a raw deal)
5. Zachary Hudson (if he was ok with slavery he'd be down around Patreus, eff the current Fed administration and eff Hudson personally)
6. Li Yong-Rui (like Hudson he'd be way lower if he allowed trade in slaves, which since he's indep corp idk maybe he does? nothing obvious to show that he does so I imagine he doesn't)
7. Archon Delaine (big-time slaver but not Empire slaver, plus he's a space pirate king so he's got more interests than that and I really like the idea of reaching Rank 5 and having a 100% reduction on penalties for crime)
8. Arissa Lavigny-Duval (barely better than the other Empire slavery-enablers)
9. Denton Patreus (total scum but not as bad as #10)
10. Zemina Torval (literally all about slaves, I kind of want to just pick a Power directly bordering Torval just so I can help grind her into dust)
 
Arissa Lavigny-Duval all the way. Definitely the best of the Imperial powers. Patreus is a bully, Torval is an unscrupulous CEO, and Aisling is a ditz. I have been really coming around the the Alliance lately, though.
