Alliance - The forgotten Faction?
- Thread starter Stonecoldamason
- Start date
Even in FE2 and FFE alliance did not have a visible military other than the standard system authority ships, so it's something that's left over from the past. Agree they could use some in game ships rather than in lore ships, but the current dev plans for new ships only seems to fit emp and fed.
I'd love to see more Alliance-specific content, missions, ships, systems etc. and assumed it was coming "soon".
Any FDEV folks reading this care to make a comment to give me hope?

I can think of two ways a Rank system could be in place for the Alliance, given the decentralized nature of its military.
Firstly, as there is a Allied Parliament and Allied Council of Admirals, have a rank system the represent representative of either the Council or Parliament who would operate along side the various system military forces.
Or
Secondly, Introduce a Joint Alliance Military Command as part of the story line.

The alliance are actually Thargoid robots designed to look and behave like humans with a perfect human anatomy, indistinguishable from the real thing. When the assault starts, the alliance will activate and form part of a two pronged attack on humanity that will end in glorious victory.
So say we all.

That would make them pretty distinguishable from most people who play this game, I'm sure.
The UK can't quite decide one way or the other whether I am or not. Too many chiefs and a lack of leadership makes the EU weak and indecisive IMO.
The point still stands the Alliance is currently weak and lacks leadership. At the moment it seems like a bunch of independents banding together to defend themselves from the bullies rather than a galactic leader.
Only the intrinsically weak need leadership. 
So, in the next week or so I'm off on a long range explore. Can someone recommend an Alliance system to come home to? I've tried scanning the Galaxy map, but not found any Alliance systems so far, but I am way down south. Any suggestions to search for?

Not sure about recommendations, but you can filter out all other factions from the map if you set the map away from realistic mode in the view tab I think. Choose allegiance from the drop down menu and untick all the other factions just leaving the Alliance.
Also if your down "south" below the center of galactic plane and below the Empire, then you'll need to transit most of human space to reach the Alliance, they are further above the other two factions on the map.

Ok, you maybe have watched the movie Mimic one time too often
I would really like to see the Alliance as a major player too in the coming updates... having their own capital ship, one or two "unique" craft and of course some deeper fraction specific missions and rewards. But i am sure, we will see that over time. Maybe in the next update already, as 1.3 powerplay will have a "major impact on the galaxy". I am all excited
To the Alliance!

They had, however, their very own shipyards ("Rossyth") and a distinguished line of Alliance manufactured ships that had quite a different design to the older Federal and Empire ships and the classic Faulcon deLacy ships.
Yup, did that, but by the time I zoomed out as far feasible, still nothing!
That makes much more sense. Time to do a round trip in the vertical plane, rather than the horizontal one.

The best place to start looking for Alliance systems is Alioth, though that's one system you won't be docking at without considerable effort as it's permit locked. Even so it's a good indication of the general region you should be looking in.

I am based in LHS 2637 which is a high tech system near Alioth. There are a number of high tech systems in the immediate area so it is a good place to work on upgrades. There is a rare trade commodity available at Ethgreze and in that system and a couple of others you can do missions for the Alioth Independents to earn a permit for Alioth. There is one Fed system, 78 Ursae Majoris, which is useful for collecting bounties. All together quite a nice place to live!
