Independent.... might want to ask a moderator to adjust the spelling as whilst I am indeed independent I cannot select an option with such an error in it.
 
I hate all the factions playerbases, I hate most player groups and I hate most of the sides in the forum debates (PvP/PvE etc).

I support the Thargoids and I'm disappointed there is no option for those, you'll be in the first billion to die when the overlords take over ;) They don't care about your faction or your groups... Oh and they don't care about open/pg/solo, they'll kill you everywhere... :D

Bring them Thargoids on!

I've got my war chest in good order and adding to it daily.

Thargophobes unite!
 
And thank you for proving my point about the empire. Such arrogance.

You mistake confidence for arrogance. Of course I can see why you believe we are arrogant. When you pimp yourself out to mediocre factions, instead of committing yourself to a true cause, your exposure to true professionals that get the necessary work done is limited to non existent.

The freedom you experience is nice for a while, ultimately leading to stagnation. Brotherhood and a cohesive society is fundamentally more important than engaging in the debauched life style you mercenary prostitutes are so famous for.

over confidence is arrogance. There is only one faction that I support, and that is the fuel rats. I don't want your "true cause" seen it, not impressed. I get plenty of necessary work done, trust me. I am a true professional, but by all means, continue the ad hominems.

I don't experience stagnation. If I get bored with a system, I move to anywhere I want. I have had my share of "brotherhood" and I am not impressed. I don't know who you are calling a prostitute, but I don't engage in the sex trade (nice ad hominem there). And because you clearly have missed this fact: society is never cohesive. I don't know what you think the lifestyle of an independent pilot is like, but its probably much less exotic than you think.
 
the Imps practice genocide, slavery, eugenics, incest and fly overheating space iphones
the Alliance has no content and is too disparate to truly be attractive IMO
the Feds are corrupt democratic bureaucrats which seems bland compared to today's world but then you remember that they all fly stealthy looking murder fridges built to kill stuff dead

pretty easy choice tbh

independents can gargle on big thick
oatmeal

Prostitute in the context I used was to highlight the throw away culture you exist in. I was not using ad hominem against you. In fact only analogies expressing the superior system that Imperials help to maintain. We are misrepresented by Federation propaganda so it's understandable you come to this platform with unconscious bias.

Hardly. I am no fan of the federation either. Mega corporations vie-ing for political favors and a war-mongering president? no thanks. Just saying that the alliance and empire aren't any better. Alliance types are lost in a dream world, and the empire...well state-sanctioned slavery should be enough to prove my point. I am an independent pilot. You keep using the slurs you would use on federation pilots. Like I said, equal-opportunity abuser. Its the condescension and superior attitude that hurt empire reputation the most. You people are often such snobs, and you illustrate my point perfectly.
 
There is a reason why the pilots-federation was established. No one right in theire mind would ever join the corrupt and narcisstic powers lost in self-delusion. The only way those rotting powers could get able pilots to theire aid is to hire mercenarys - mercenarys organiced in the pilots-federation. There is no power in the galaxy of men - there is only delusion of grandeur...
 
As a Founder I have to maintain good relations with all factions (ok there might be a few minor pirate factions that disagree). The Feds are generally good to do business with. The Empire is ok but there are many troubling aspects to it. Perhaps if imperials didn't constantly drone on about honour I might be more inclined to believe they possessed some. I haven't really had much to do with the Alliance as I've had little cause to visit their territory.

Alternate view

As some one with no fixed roots I wouldn't sign up for any of them. That being said I get on really well with the Alliance. With the Feds it's kind of complicated, some of them seem a bit stuck up but mostly they're ok. Heck last week they even let me fly my T6 through one of their Farraguts out near Maia, despite me having done mercenary work against them a few days before. That's in sharp contrast to the Empire, shortly after my time with the Farragut I encountered an Imperial cap ship. Now it's possible that there may have been a slight bump between us but I wasn't expecting a full on attack. That just further confirms my feeling from previous encounters with Imperials that they're just a bunch of arrogant psycho killers. The one thing I 'll give them is that they do have some nice ships.
 
I absolutely, positively, support the Federation.

I am a completely loyal Federation citizen.

Honest.

Yay free holovision!

I even have a "Corporations are people too" t-shirt.
 
Thank you all for posting in this. The result is actually very close to what I envisaged. It is quite a healthy looking set of statistics all round I think.
