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.

Umm... Take psuedo away from that statement.

They are indeed official, its not some stupid tag like [T] for trader. Join up with them if you want.

At the moment, Tinkerbell withdrew the Junker Congress faction request but he's going to re-submit. Talk to him for hawt Junker-on-Junker action if you're really into that sort of thing.

Or... Wait.

... Maybe I misunderstood the Junker part.

For top of the range fighters, you should look at the Collector or the Eagle. I personally wouldn't fly an Eagle, but they are in our guard system, so cannot see why not. Not really a combat based grouping & I'd go with the handy Collector

The eagle is one of the best fighters on the server, IMO. It's a bit of a challenge to manage it's energy properly, but once you've done that, you're gold.

[shameless plug] As for wanting to be a Xeno, feel free to drop a line in the XA recruitment thread, which is linked in my sig. [/shameless plug]

Oh, and we ARE official, and we're quite active.

Junker bomber - Waran, pretty much sucks in PVP, but I love the old-rusty looks, don't know why.
Everyone else thinks it's uggly.
Junker VHF - Collector, which probably sucks in PVP too, not sure.

You can use the Eagle, Crow, Stinger, Virage etc etc too.

But the first two are Junker ships, Waran being old Red Hessian, not used by anyone on the server, the other one being Junker, very rarely used as well.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.

Talk to Tinker bell about Junker congress. I'd go with IMG gunboat if you dont want an unlawful one. I dont know but MAYBE the liberty or britonian gunboats as they are super mass produced. The military may sale you surplus but you'll have to RP it up alittle with the factions.

Harvesters are Junker friendly but hardly real Junkers. So I think best bet talk to Tinker bell or there is another Junker family that eludes me now.

Xenos hate Junkers because they hate foriegners and Junker deal super heavy with all kinds of foriegners.

Thats my guess.

Yeah, I went and toyed around with the Collector abit and it's rather worthless as a combat ship, lol. Which is unfortunate, 'cause I'm looking for something that'd be atleast decent in PvP.


I think I'll just wait until 4.85, hopefully the Junker Corvette that Jinx designed will be added by then, which appears to be exactly what I want. I wouldn't feel right flying around in a Liberty/Rheinland/Bretonian Gunboat or whatever. I might give the Civilian Bomber another go, but jeez that thing is about like flying a bloody GB...

Before I fell in love with the TRF:ylove:, I flew a Collector & found it surprisingly good, winnning more engagements that I lost. Granted, its not a Sabre, but its functional, has a lot of armour, more bats/bots then most bombers & a generous cargo bay. When they were more popular (back in the days when weapon selection was more liberal) I heard a lot of pilots talking about how they underestimated them, but recognised now just how tough they are. What will let them down now is the crappy Junker weapony.

Combat oriented Junker eh? IMG gunboat or the Raven's Talon are good choices. Also the eagle and collector. I fly a collector but don't pvp in it. There is also the rogue gunboat tho you will be viewed as more of a pirate I think. The taiiden bomber is also a choice.


The Junkers Congress will be making a comeback. Just drop me a line if you are ingame and I will fly with you.

Xeno's smell by the way just to let you know.
