Why join Official Factions...

Coming from someone who is a leader of one, first and foremost is that I'd like potential members to enjoy the roleplay and how that impacts the gameplay of said faction.

Of course, there are some that have benefits such as mining and/or trading bonuses. I tend to think of other such bonuses that aren't typically available to the standard indie. To differentiate us and to give incentives for people to join and earn the ability to utilize those bonuses.

Some look at the faction and gameplay, others look at the members and leadership, others again at the roleplay, it's not just a singular reason here. I will admit, I have only joined two OFs in my time playing Discovery. The reasons for both is that I like the roleplay of one, and the gameplay of the other (I'm not sharing which ones).

My viewpoint as a player is quite limited, though my perspective as an official faction leader may be valuable here. Just wanted to share that side of things.

Discovery's Best Faction: Starfliers
Second Best: Liberty Navy 46th Fleet
