I am curious about what's the community's most favorite factions from the mod.
I let everyone (including guests) to vote for 2 of them in case of a draw between 2 fractions or if you support both very much.
Well, who's your favorite?

Faction, not fraction. The NR and PA are my picks, and seem to be the favorites thus far.

Thanks for the info. fixed it already

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #3 on:** April 02, 2015, 11:27:59 PM »

The Pentastar Alignment and Warlords. They were the ones I fought hardest to have included and expanded over the years. Honourable mention to the Dushkan League as I love their Thrustships.

kucsidave · « **Reply #4 on:** April 03, 2015, 02:19:01 PM »

from the current standing of things:
Duskhan League 0 (0%)
Empire of the Hand 5 (20.8%)
Hapes Consortium 0 (0%)
Imperial Remnants 1 (4.2%)
Imperial Warlords(collective) 1 (4.2%)
New Republic 7 (29.2%)
Pentastar Alignment 9 (37.5%)
Zsinj's Empire (the Hunt for Zsinj and into the cluster Zsinj) 1 (4.2%)

Looks like it was a good idea to include the PA into Ascendancy...
Especially after my brother voted as a guest to the PA and Zsinj's empire

All hail the Alignment!

Shouldn't really surprise anybody, but Empire of the Hand.

Vulcanus · « **Reply #6 on:** April 03, 2015, 10:22:21 PM »

But I like them all!

Well, I don't like the Pentastar Alignment as much as the others.

Voting for EotH and Warlords.

Interesting that the PA has so little EU coverage yet is so popular. Koodos to the mod team for making that possible

tlmiller · « **Reply #8 on:** April 04, 2015, 12:46:24 AM »

I think it's because what little coverage it has portrays it as a more "human", less humanocentric Empire. So you still get all the stuff you love about the Empire (Star Destroyers), without the sith, without the human arrogance. It's a likeable empire.

but you get Jerec and Dark Jedi instead.

No surprise at all. The hand was a short second for me too.

In fact, Jerec was not that tightly connected to the PA. It was more like just that Ardus paid his bills what he made while trying to find the Valley of the Jedi.

Yeah, Jerec was only loosely connected to the PA, and once he had found the Valley of the Jedi would have gladly abandoned his "support" of the PA. He only feigned loyalty to the PA (and the Empire before that) so that he had someone to pay for his search, he truly was loyal to only 1 person, himself.

As for Dark Jedi's, they served Jerec, not Kaine, so once Jerec split, they would have left too.

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #12 on:** April 04, 2015, 04:56:31 PM »

That's why i admire Jerec. He successfully played the PA,Prophets of the Darkside and Reborn Palps for his own gain. If he had not had the misfortune to cross SWs Chuck Norris he might well have ssucceeded in his goals. I mean he was only beneath Vader in the underlings power level and he would have had the knowledge and power of 24 Sith Lords and 100 Jedi knights and masters . With his web of financial support and resources he might well have become Emperor

You ask too broad a question.

In Gameplay, Remnant all the way. It can just stomp the Rebels easily and those SSDs are GLORIOUS. About my favorite part of this mod is the 40 pop cap which means a Executor + Sovereign + some support (ISD IIS or heroes). It stomps. It's glorious.

In fandom, Pentastar Alignment. I'm a sucker for corporate america ruling the galaxy.

StarLordX · « **Reply #14 on:** April 07, 2015, 03:41:31 PM »

I'd go with the Remnant, largely because of Thrawn. Then again, the Pentastar Alignment has some pretty good units.

Good to see the Dushkan League finally got some love.

agreed.
In fact, one of my friends sent the vote.
I showed him the game, and he fell in love with the DL.
I really hope I can finally talk to him enough to make him register, and joining the community.

I really liked them as villains, too bad the side story in BFC with Luke sucked so bad. I always wanted to see more of the Yevetha, they were more fanatical than the Vong. Kind of ticked me off when they were killed offscreen, or off page I should say by the Vong. Must have been a hell of a battle though. The Yevetha had several thousand Thrustships and dozens of heavier capital ships according to Jainas sensors so just imagine the fleet the Vong brought in to bum rush them. Woulda been something to see. Hopefullyyour ffriend will join. Is always cool to meet a fellow Dushkan League enthusiast.

kucsidave · « **Reply #18 on:** April 08, 2015, 05:20:08 AM »

I think the best thing about the Yevethans is that they not just taken out the local remnants, but used their own ships against them, captured an SSD and enslaved them, just like they used to be enslaved.
The only thing i really sorry is that the Duskhan League had so few units.
In wookiepedia i found a few information, and according to those, the DL used Interdictors and CR90s...
Would be cool to see the DL using them having Yevethan plex soldiers, and so on...
Their scout trooper could have been a lonely sniper, having the sprint ability with a fairly long vision range.
