What NPC faction to choose?

[Neikon]

Here's the thing, I cannot make a decision about which NPC faction to roleplay as.

I want to:

-Be a bad guy, a pirate or something, hanging around tradelanes and such.
-Be able to explore everywhere, without completely ignoring my ZOI (Can't explore the omicrons as a Lane Hacker)

And the other question is, should I fly a LF, a VHF or a Bomber?

Well anyway, as far as I know, you can only do all this if you're an Outcast or Corsair, is that right? What if I'm and independant Lane Hacker, can I still explore the Omicrons and Omega's? And which ships would be recommended?

Also, how does one typically get their guards rep up?
And, is there a list where you can buy equipment and ships that is not outdated (such as the wiki)?.

Thank you.

no, my advice is to make another charactor to explore things.

Code:

-Be a bad guy, a pirate or something, hanging around tradelanes and such.
-Be able to explore everywhere, without completely ignoring my ZOI (Can't explore the omicrons as a Lane Hacker)

i do not belive that there are any factions that allow you to explore everything. (you could make a spa and cruise person and have them explore the edge worlds for new things to have liners go to.)

Pirate ID, freelancer IFF, fly a civ bomber, that's the best way to do all that in RP in one char. All the RP is on you though with no vanilla to fall back on really, so be prepared to do some thinking.

As for the shiplist, get a program like FLstat, no one is going to make a list before the final version comes out as changes are still being made and who wants to have to risk having to re-write the whole thing.

And guard rep are upped by doing missions mostly, if you want to up it for a missionless faction that changes from one to the next so i cant help with that really.

You can always try going for a generic Pirate ID, which'd mean that Sirius is your ZOI.

As for Omicrons and Omegas, the only faction that is in both is the Corsairs.

And what kind of ship to fly, well, that's dependent on your playing style, everybody is suited for something different.

THIS.

Or just a Tagless Pirate. I'd recommend an Eagle, Sabre, Switchblade, Zoner Gunboat, or a Yacht.

brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.

I see, I will look into this. Thank you for the Pirate ID/Freelancer IFF suggestion aswell.

DSE or Order, but neither of them are pirates.
