I like the open-source, sharing knowledge with everyone (even rival powers) approach - spreading "informational material", fine, shooting down "violent protestors", aight - but doing rendition flights to counter dissent? Really?

The lore on Pranav Antal seems to be about sharing knowledge and tech - Antal should do that to fortify - bring experimental tech into the new worlds; not escorting people with a different opinion to some Guantanamo camp.

So, yeah, instead of switching to a different power (or cease supporting any), I would rather see Antal live up to the vision outlined in the lore that's already there - and find some meaningful gameplay around that.

Thoughts?

I've been taking a good look at this guy too, but I can't figure out if he is what you describe or maybe more of a cult guru…
I shall see when I'm back from the core… plenty of time.

The US government has awarded Space-X military contracts. In other news Elon Musk, in a surprise move has taken over the running of Guantanamo Bay, more at 10.

Yeah, we'll see. Maybe he's a bit of both. Safe travels!

Utopia is the way.

Some must be shown.

Others must be taught.

Yes. Teaching in a hands-on-tech way - not teaching in the baseball-bat-to-knee-caps way.

The rendition flight bit does have this fascist notion, indeed.

Humanity has existed in a perpetual state of anarchy and hypocrisy for millennia. For some the transition to a truly peerless, equal state brings fear and confusion. For others, they wish to destabilise a perfect society that benefits everyone and use it to subvert others for selfish needs.

There is no other power that wishes to improve humanity. The Alliance power is full of hypocrites; on the surface they are free but beyond they are a group of dictators and anarchists, not willing to move forward, only oppose what exists. Imperialism has bred decay and misery, and the Federals speak of freedom while killing innocent civilians.

Only Antal can unite us and heal the rifts between us all, and break the barriers erected by those who only want control for selfish ends.

I've pledged to him and will spread Utopia where I can. But I get the impression that FD have deliberately set him up to fail. Smallest power, bad starting position, only 5 systems (all low CC value, one is negative) and no shinies to attract the masses. How many people are going to be attracted by a 5% infulance change bonus.

With Antal it's a fight to survive against all the odds and I for one intend to go down fighting!

In beta, the biggest power was plunged into regression within a couple of cycles by the idiocy of its mass supporters and the democratic process that allows such epic failure. Small might be good.

I've pledged, he appears to be a right nutter, although I've been taken out by people supporting the pirate chap already!
