The personal guide I use when I'm thinking about applying for factions and taking the time to make applications. Wondering if there's anything that I've missed or should think about. Noted too that every faction has its purpose to serve the main citizens.
Civil Authority - Typically spend most their time in the Nexus or walking around the city, often only a handful on at a time limiting passive RP. Overall, they don’t do much, if you find sitting in an office coming up with policies fun or making the occasional one-sided speech then apply, otherwise can fulfil a power-kick as CAs are in charge 1/10
Union Entertainment - Simply there to fulfil people’s dreams of being a celebrity, designing shows can be fun and you can be quite creative, getting treated like a celebrity can also be a real kick making it a good choice 4/10
Proselytes - Can be used to replace OTA as guards of CA. Have a bit more freedom to passive RP in Nexus as they aren’t massively brain-washed. Still, having the only purpose of RP to guard CA is a meh, main thing is they usually look cool so you get the bad ass factor, also used more than OTA but don’t get to sweep as much or used in events 3/10
Union news (Newspapers) - don’t get me started. You get the benefit as being a citizen but still have a faction backing and usually a nice loyalty level, downside unless you’re a nerd is you have to write articles for the forums or deliver newspapers, if you enjoy writing and journalism then it’s the faction for you 1/10
OTA - Typical just act as guards for CA and sweep rarely. Otherwise only used in events which can be few and far between. Overall, not worth applying for, rarely used but it can be fun getting to sweep or shoot things during an event. Can also be cool having a character all kitted out and pretty badass 3/10
CP - Seems good on paper. You get a nice uniform and gun. Once again gets you a little power trip. Cps get to boss people about and get in the occasional fire fight, usually a decent involvement in events, however, most units find they spend the majority of RP patrolling for hours or making passive chat 5/10
CWU (Work cycles) - Workers get a nice loyalty start point and cooshty uniform but have their main function as to do worksheets for citizens which they have to organise, while citizens do it they usually stand by and keep track, sometimes have to fill out spreadsheets for worksheets etc which can be the most boring thing. Overall, you have to maintain worksheets and stay super active in exchange for some reputation and some fresh threads. 4/10
CMU - More laid back than CWU. Get the same benefits as above but have their function to do surgery and provide healthcare, can be more fun than many of the other factions and can go into more RP, helping people can also get you places 6\10
Science branch - Who actually knows what happens in these weird labs, sometimes inventions end up as scripts which stay on the server which is quite a big benefit as you actually impact the server. Spend most their time as normal citizens with the benefit of doing experiments when they want. 6/10
Vortigaunt- Have to be a ugly green fucker that is forced to clean the streets, very little else biotics actually do, freed sorts get to circle jerk with rebels but can to stay hidden. 3/10
Zombies - No passive RP required. Simple and too the action. Spend yourself limping around or clawing the shit out of a citizen. CPs will usually one shot you head if they even hear you. Good side character to jump on if your bored and for that sole reason gets a better rating as they’re not main characters. 6/10
Antlions etc - Same as above but less used and funner. 7/10
Black Market - Fast-pass to the rebel life. You get a lot of freedom and have an actual impact in the server. A citizen who has a hard rebel influence, what’s not to love. 8/10
Engineering Branch - Similar to CWU and CMU when they exist. Instead of work cycles or providing healthcare they repair things that are broke, compared to workshifts I’d consider this funner. 6/10
Infection control - New faction introduced by Alyx. In my opinion one of the best. Like Engineering, CWU and CMU but deal with infestations; burn things, shoot other things. Get a nice varied amount of RP as well as getting some civ RP in while off duty a lot of opportunity. 8/10
Business Owner - Civ but you get an income. Downside, you have to be super active and usually pay rents and for goods which can outweigh the benefit sometimes. Still the main faction but with extra benefit even if it only lasts till you’re inactive. 6/10
