The ranking system benefits?

[Ghost1]

What are the benefits to working with a faction?

do we get access to special ships or maybe the ability to purchase the imperial or federation fighter or bomber?


Do we get access to special tech or faction based weapons?


I'm curious, because as it stands im not really planning on joining a faction YET. However, im wondering about what do i get out of it....



Also it seems like a lot of people on here are imperial hardliners what makes them so much better then the federation.

Permits and ships.

Federal Drop Ship for Federation, Imperial Clipper for Imps.

I am kind of jonesing for the Imperial Clipper

It has the advantage if you are friendly or alied when you are atacked other ships of the alied or friendly faction will help you out

Likely there will be other benefits and/or choices as the Plot develops. Almost certainly there are missions that will only be offered to certain minimum rank grades. And it looks likely that there are another two Imperial and two Federation ships that will be added in the +10 group (Imperial Fighter, Imperial Courier, Fed Fighter, Fed Corvette, based on the SelfAudio files).

Paintjobs and decals are a strong possibility, too.

Heh how do you know all this? You always seem to have such awesome answer.


There is also an imperial bomber and federation bomber. So i saw in a patch notes. Though no one has seen the them.


i also saw that imperial cobras have plasma accelerators, which is weird to me since i thought they dont fit on to small ships

Also why i was hinting at faction based weapons was i thought i saw that it was coming later on

there is an medium sized plasma accelerator ingame, for about 800k, but noone uses these.

Not true.
I fittet some on the viper for easyer killing anacondas.
But what i really miss is something like a multi-plasma-canon. That would be awesome.

Friendly, allied Commanders are supposed to be scanned less often. Who would think, that an ally tries to smuggle something in.

Also, a certain reputation is necessary for higher military ranks.

Last, but not least, there is the satisfaction of achievement. Once you manage to bump your Federation, Empire, Alliance global rating from neutral to friendly, all attached minor factions switch to friendly as well. With so much green, it is easier to spot foreigners/pirates.
