Kind of ironic how a militant group of freedom fighters who oposes both progress and government accepts corporate funding

shouldn't you be smuggling heroin and cocaine and crap like that to fund you war?

That would certainly add an interesting element to gameplay. Might have kidnap a couple VS scientist types and force them to make some NC Blue Magic.
And anyone who's played Shadowrun knows that being corporately funded doesn't make you a Mcdonalds.

I spawned in the starting area as most do and truth be told my faction to play as was decided by simply closing my eyes and clicking at random! I have yet to regret my choice

I'm VS, not born but certainly raised.

Initial choice is down to what you like the look of, who your friends are playing as and what colour you like best.
After this:-
Find a good team/outfit that will turn into combat-buddies and/or family.
Or join the biggest gang you can find and be part of the swarm.
The choice is yours and if all else fails, roll a dice (1,4 NC, 2,5 TR, 3,6 VS).

IMO
NC are rednecks (and have big guns) In PS1 they were annoying.
Terran are military (and have fast guns) In PS1 they were overwhelmed.
Vanu are scientists (and have laser guns) In PS1 they were organised.
I'm from Werner.

It doesn't matter. Find some friends, get on vent and listen to your OL. But if you want to meta-game, purple historically had lowest pop in ps1 and therefore the biggest xp buffs for being low pop. No clue how that is being handled in the new iteration of the game, or even if VS will be less popular.

Also at this point, no one really knows if there is going to be something crazy good like the scat max in ps1. If you have no clue, mess around play all three, find some people you like and play together.

I'm against TR, not a fan of militaristic rule.

I'm either playing for VS or NC, and at this point I'm leaning VS.

Well, for myself, I used to be a vivid Vanu player though TR has always been my second love. Now in PS2 I al going to go all out on TR because the new Vanu looks, while being cool and everything, aren't doing it for me this time.

I will never be able to play NC!!!

im torn between VS and NC atm. hard to choose

If you need to be told what to do, then TR

I think the first reason I went with VS was because of the "empire need" indicator on the selection screen. From there I found that I really just enjoyed it over the other factions and always having the lower pop on emerald just meant that there were that many more to shoot at. I had alts on each faction and my outfit would go TR or NC on the playtest server but it was a rare occasion that I would play anything other than VS. I will be straight up VS again for PS2 but at least give other factions some time durring beta just for shits and giggles.
