Faction specific questions

[RParade]

.. Right, I had a few questions I've been pondering over for a few days now. So, here goes;


Junkers and the ships they fly. What exactly are Junkers able to fly? Obviously, I'm aware that in most cases Junkers will always fly something with a large cargohold, but what about for other scenarios? If a Junker was to fly something like a VHF, Bomber, or a Gunboat, which would he/she be able to use? Currently my Junker flies a Firefly (which I absolutely adore), but I'm looking to make another Junker who's more combat-oriented. Currently aside from the Firefly, all of my other characters are flying Fighters, and this time around I'd like to branch out abit, perhaps maybe a Bomber or a Gunboat. I'd rather not fly a ship that's associated with pirates, also. What options do I have? I was thinking maybe getting the Civilian Bomber, but that thing sucks. :angry:

Also, are there any Junker factions/clans? It'd be really cool to connect with other Junkers more often.


Xenos.


I've been considering a Xeno character for a long time, but.. It sort of defeats the purpose for me if I'd be lonegunnin' it. I've seen what appears to be psuedo-official factions like XA around n' such, but I was wondering how active the Xeno community is on the whole?

And my last question is, why are Xenos and Junkers at war? I've never understood their rivalry.



Thank ya.
