I read through the timeline history and it's quite interesting. Read through several FAQ thread links, after the official FAQ on the site. I read up on other site info and more, but I'd like to just ask about the Factions and Corporations, as everything else I'm pretty much able to wrap my head around to some degree or go back and get the info I need. On a side note, I would enjoy cut-scenes with all the lore.
It's very important to me to be part of a faction and corporation that I identify with or like overall more so than the others. It's not of interest to me in which is most popular etc or whatever, but I do have a few concerns.
I, right now, am seeing things as there being several player created Corporations. Now, I get that I can't change my corporation, which is fine as I do like mine the best even though I chose it before researching any of them.
The corporations info told me that if I left my current corporation I'd be placed in an NPC corporation. I started in one, however and have to wonder is there any way I can choose which corporation I join or will it always place randomly? Do I need to request an invite and wait? So that would mean immediate acceptance into any NPC corporation, but not player, but rather based on the CEO's wishes, right?
Also, they state Angel Cartel is the largest, but after looking at the list and seeing the agents in each, they aren't anymore. Is there no player cap? Does this ultimately lead to unfair advantages or do battles always even the participants per side?
I didn't even know all of what was going on completely. I just survived and learned how not to die, but aside from that it was a big world with teammates I couldn't communicate with and utter chaos (that I loved, I just didn't know what was all occurring and what kind of battle it was, as I was under the impression there are different types like in CoD for example [capture the flag/domination/kill confirmed] for that game)
Basically- what's going on with Corporations right now? Are the 8 listed here http://dust514.com/universe/corporations/ now not even as powerful now that player corporations are around or do multiple allied corporations fall under umbrellas of bigger corporations?
Is that basically how player corporations work?
I know this was a bit messy. I hope not too messy, but it's just not making sense to me, the whole thing and why when I check to see stats of corporations and go to mine, it says No Agents, but I'm in Ostrakon Agency. I don't get that. Can't I see a list of who's in and our stats in comparison?
And once you leave can you rejoin? It is an NPC corporation after all. Can I just hop back in?
Are any of the 8 mentioned in the site still around. I just looked up how to get in Arkombine, which was my interest, and found a thread saying it's gone.
I dont want to jump into another corporation right away, but I'd like to know how it works, and where I can see decent stats and how these rankings really work.
Also I did well in an NPC corporation in my only battle. Now wondering if a player based one might do worse (if the npc fights better in most cases) |
