I understand if your with the federation but calm down.
1st off they pay more cuz I went to the empires capital and they payed so much more for boom time deliverys then the federation! And there more technologically advanced because...well just look at there ships! And they have so much more tech stations than Fed! The federation sucks cuz for them it's either "join or we send the ships to destroy you"



I am calm.

Achenar is permit locked though. How did you acquire that permit within a single day?

Mission payment isn't really dependend on superpower allegiance as far as I know. Whether you got some bad missions in the Federation and some good ones in the Empire is pretty irrelevant.

I did not only look at imperial ships, I actually flew them already. Two fighters and two multipurpose vessels as opposed to one multipurpose, one fighter, one something (no idea what role fits the Gunship the best), and one superheavy combat vessel. How does that support your theory of technological superiority? Because they're prettier? That's not a good argument.

As for the high tech stations: The Federation controls something around 7000 star systems if I'm not mistaken, the Empire something around 6000. I doubt that you can make a sufficiently based observation on the distribution of high tech station with one day play time.

I'm at around 1400 hours playtime now and I certainly don't think that I can judge whether the Federation or the Empire controls more high tech stations.

There's only one thing the Empire is truly more advanced, and that's the art of installing water cannons on Capital-class ships.


Why is everyone saying achenar? Are you sure that's the capital? I went to were the empress is at also maybe your right but I just don't like the federation, they have no problem at all using brute force to get what they want and there ships except for capital ships are crap, and yes I guess I like the empire cuz there ships are more pretty but it's also because the empire is a very prosperous power, they hold honor above all else and they can actually hold power much better than the federation and it's corrupt officials

I understand if you want to be free...but killing and robbing innocent people is not the way...if you kill and Rob federation or alliance soldiers however that's different...

Well, aren't you the paragon of virtue?

Personally, I admire entrepreneurship.

And yes, Achenar is the Imperial capital.

Achenar is the capital of the Empire like Sol is the capital of the Federation. Kamadhenu is the powerplay capital of ALD if I'm not mistaken.

The Empire uses brute force in exact the same way as the Federation, a good example of that is the Pegasi War.

How many ships of the Federation have you flown? Or are you just judging by the looks?

I guess the Federation is not prosperous and that there's zero corruption in the Empire. Both are capitalist, so I wouldn't expect there to be much difference when it comes to the distribution of wealth in both superpowers.

lol...tha's a double standard....can be.....federation-truckers can be innocent too, and family-men, robbing can be a political or economic gain, etc etc...depends on your point of view...or being a revolutionary, or rebel, or terrorist, or freedom-fighter...it's all in the eye of the beholder

Why do you need a big ship?

I've had a very successful pirate career in my Cobra.

And sure, pirates can rob other pirates - but it's not so wise to do so. They are usually armed and know what they are doing!

I have not flown a federation ship cuz I'm poor as hell, that's another reason I went to the empire instead, not much is illegal there except drugs

I need a big ship cuz I'm not the best at combat, I can take on a ship when it's alone but I can't fight 2 ships at the same time
