Got to go with the Pentastar Alignment. They've the IR's cool ships, Kaine, Jerec, pack a pretty powerful punch plus they have Bastion from the start and I love that planet.

I get it(though I'm more fond of 3/4ths since it has the guts to go more than half way but is smart enough not to do all the work lol)

You'd think that particular typo migh thave been fixed but, oh well.

Good to see more Imperial/Alignment fans!

I am very surprised the New Republic is not getting enough support. why, you may yell in anger at you computer, do I say this. Well I love them for many reasons the top of the list that is to long to type and I'm lazy(=P) is because of their very humble beginnings as a group of people who hated the Empire, like myself. Also our ships aren't triangles, so that means we payed attention in preschool unlike those Imperial scum who only like the triangles and the colors white and black. Also 5/6ths.

Moff Seerdon voice, "Defecting to the rebel terrorists will be your undoing. The Empire's punishment shall be swift and just."
jk, I like some of the rebels. Commanding the Rogues, Iblis, and such is always nostalgic.
The team has done a great job of making the NR fun to play with, even I enjoyed taking the NR for a spin this time around.

Still, I haven't seen all that much support for any faction except the IR(who love triangles for some reason).
Title: Re: What is Your Favorite Fraction for Thrawns Revenge??
Post by: Lord Xizer on August 14, 2012, 07:10:57 PM
Well it's not just the triangle ships. People love stormtroopers, ATSTs, ATATs, and the TIEs variants too. Then there's Thrawn, Pellaeon, and Palpatine as heroes. There's a lot of history and nostalgia with the Empire.

My problem with the Rebellion/NR is from the movies.  You had Luke "I am such a bad actor I have trouble portraying that I'm wearing clothes because of my stupidity" Skywalker as the hero of the Rebellion.  If that's the hero's, I'm rooting for the Empire!!

I don't like the NR because they perpetuate the chaos, corruption and weakness of the Old Republic compared with the proper way of things under the New Order of the Empire.

Stop naming good reasons why the New Republic is worse than the Imperial Remnant! You will not make turn to the Dark Side you Imperial scum! =P

Because there totally was no corruption, political subversion and internal conflict and discord within the Imperial machine!  ::)

Well, it was an empire and this is a republic, so the Imperialization would create fear within the galaxy, wheras when the New Republic came they came from a squirling swarm of rebels who defeated palaptine by luck(IMO), so not many will fear them, alowing lawlessness to spread.

Of course not! It was an All To Brief Golden Age for the galaxy! Peace, Security, lollipops and happiness for all!
(Oh sure there were a few...incidents but they were minor) Here, allow the Empire to defend it's own actions where they explain the "Alderaan incident" in the link below.

maybe they don't die seemingly. like the event horizon of a black hole. it is just a point of view. Time slows down so much that from the outside it seems the guy stopped completely, while the guy sees as he is getting crushed into the black hole. (if we rule out the gravitational forces)

I'm a NR fan personally, although it's still early in my ICW career. 

1 - I'm just a sucker for the good guys coming out on top in the end, even if it took 95 plot bunnies of varying ridiculousness ("Mom's people are invisible!" - really, BFC?), and those are the characters I get a kick out of playing around with.  It gives me fond memories of X-Wing Alliance to send in Han and Chewie first and fly around picking off a couple dozen TIE squadrons before bringing in the rest of the fleet.

2 - I don't really enjoy the game's ground battles (not a RTS guy in general), so the NR compliments how I most enjoy the game.  The NR faces challenges on the Galactic and Space battle realms, where I enjoy the effort involved with managing things precisely enough to win.  Thanks to the Strategy forum, I can make the ground battles less tedious, micro-filled combined arms nightmares by spamming V-Wings, Freerunners, and adding in some heroes to take key points.

My favorite fraction is 1/2 because reasons. My favorite faction would be the Pentastar Alignment because (in my opinion) they use some of the sexiest ships in the mod.

Easily the New Republic.  Their beginnings as the Alliance and all of the struggles that this organization went through to become what it is has always been a fantastic thing to read and learn about.  Plus, I'm all for the heroism good guy stuff.

But, they weren't hero's, they were terrorists.  :)

Yeah How many lives were fucked up by their actions. How many young men Died aboard those great weapons they built.
But Now we have  Maldrood and We will MAKE MALDROOD GREAT AGAIN. Zsinj can worry about Nr and Ir while we build a great wall.
we will bomb the crap out of The NR. (NO IM not a supporter of him I just find him very funny)

But in all seriousness really the NR kind of fucked the galaxy both in Cannon and In Legends. In Legends it is arguably worst but I can boil it down to 4 things.

1: They trigger the Imperial Warlords who fought huge conflicts over Planets with good people who had to suffer.
2: They really were a shity government. The Leaders of the NR had honestly been very selfish and most took advantage of this if it were not for our brave "Heroes".
3: They were clearly never prepared for the vong war and left many worlds in ruins.


In cannon the main problem is that they are now like the empire in legends because the CSA and Hutts form new factions after Episode 7.

BUT I'm going Maldrood and Zsinj. Because I'm reading Wraith Squadron through Solo Command (Should I read Courtship of Princess Leia?)

Thing is while I disagree with their overall government I do greatly admire and respect the NR fighting men, women and aliens. You simply can't NOT like them.
no one here could honestly say if given the chance to hang out with the Rogues, Booster, Wraiths, Bel iblis, Han, Leia, Lando , Luke and Mara as well as KYLE KATARN you wouldn't take it.

I would Love to spend a night with some fines ladies aboard the Errant Venture playing High stakes games with Han and Lando.
Then Maybe Piss off Han by hitting on Leia. Boy that sounds like fun.
...
And a Nerds Sick Fan Fiction.

And My other favorite Imperial Faction is Imperial Fleet 99 and the 213th Imperialium(Totally real factions guys. :) ) :)

I prefer imperial factions because when you boil it down, its just more effective to rule thousands of planets by force than to try and make them all agree. The republic heroes were cool guys, but I guarantee there were cool guys in the empire as well. They just weren't protagonists.

The hand is my fav due to using strategy to win and skill. I also love the challenge. I only wish they could build the ISD1 and IDS2 just since Thrawn in Era 1 as well as Dagon and that other human have them.
