Well figured to make a place for people to post on WHY they chose there home faction. This is for people who are LOYAL to there faction, no stupid faction hoppers.
This pic here was so awesome looking,

its why I picked ICC.
There ships look awesome, uglies looked almost not human and just didn't fit space combat look. Also ICC was with shields, I always in any game, picked defense over offense, and ICC fit that role.
Anyone else?

i found this an intresting topic (got bored went rummaging into the forums)
so i felt like renewing this topic. and also it was my 200th time playing the game without switching fasctions at all. 
I joined ICC was becuase they were the faction that i felt had been out gunned and outnumberd(i like to go agenst the odds). i also thought that ugto ships didnt look human and never was atracted to try them. and luth well i dont hate them but reminds me of a shadow ship(babylon 5 tv show). i like to try taking them out becuase of that some times.
so anyone can say anything if there loyal to that faction

Cloak. Plain and simple.
I chose Kluth because of the cloak. I've always been a fan of sneak attacks, and hit n run guerrila tactics. In FPS games, I love hiding in some obscure corner with a sniper rifle and taking other unaware players out.
I love it when I decloak off some noob-in-a-supp/engie's ass and one-shot him into a ball of flames.

I chose K'Luth because of their purpose-built ships.
Best extractor. Best heavy transport.
Best advanced engineer.
>THE< best super supply ship.
K'Luth don't waste EW slots on choosing ECCM or ECM. You just need a good eye to win.
The v1.5-current mandible is the best admiral-ranked assault ship. It can kill most UGTO and ICC with its torpedoes and beams.
We don't waste ship slots on fighters. We just don't.
Best JumpDrive, but 75% of the newbies don't know that.
AHR, which means that I can force enemies into submission by short and repeated attacks. *sadist*
And finally, the piercer. Best combat-endurance-tracking-quick interdictor ship, was, is, and always shall be. Did you know that you can hull a stock v1.5 HC with a stock piercer? No, you didnt.
Cloak? Forget it, its there only to taunt enemies.

taunt!?...cmon, it is almost useless to track a Kluth without beconing, in turn as Kluth you may comfortably track people, watch the scene on F2 being cloaked...
Survivability because of cloak you cant deny, you will never convince me.
I play and stay ICC, because they have the most specialized ships, UGTO ships are just thugs to me, Kluth is just too easy to me, but i love their style and their sound.
Beside that, i like the ICC part in the Galactic Lore the most and the edgy look of ICC ships. I am conservative with games and dont switch easily.
Now sorry for faction facism, cant help and hide the "hatred" sometimes, just part of the game. ;D

I had a hard time choosing between the ICC and the K'luth at first because my favorite fighting style is long range sneak attacks..... but when I saw the Krill and its long range ability I went to K'luth. Repeated hit and run attacks with a decently ranged ship is so fun.

I like a challenge too. UGTO had too many players (hasn't changed in over a year), and K'luth was (is still) way too easy. That left ICC.
They were my first choice anyway because their ships are the coolest looking, and they're the GOOD GUYS in the lore (UGTO are greedy businessmen, and K'luth just came in and took what wasn't theirs. Though I'm a little sympathetic to thier cause, being refugees and all.) .
Plus they have shields. You can't have spaceships without shields. Unless it's Babylon 5. That is the exception.

Ironically Darkspace was inspired by B5.
Also, before the efficient pd system every faction hopper went ICC to missile spam UGTO. The old pd system shot 1 beam at a time, meaning pickett ships were utterly useless. So there was a period of UGTO lacking numbers.

i do wonder what clicked in the game to bring about two things that i think are killing the hell outa gameplay and the icc faction
1. Depo planets- depos have been around since befor i started in 09. they have always had the same requirments to build, and have functioned in the same way. What, in the last three months, gave rise to def 22 depo planets that can repair ships from dead to full health in seconds? What made it just now catch on? When i started, fleet actions were heavily relliant on players in supply ships. This made players stick to gether and work together as a team to take objectives. Now insta heal rocks give rise to one man armies.
2. <---died due to my inability to express how i feel about fargo wars in a manner that did not sound like QQ. Lets just say fargo wars are stale.

I dont choose to play as kluth ,because i am kluth. I was born in this way. When i was born from my mother , the medical team was so suprised they couldnt call me a "thing". My mother yelled, "throw him , if he falls he is a reptile and if he flies he is a bat". When the doctor threw into air , I just activated my defense device. I hell cloaked. They were suprised more than before. When i sensed there was no danger I decloaked. I notice i had 15 seconds timer to cloak again. Anyway after that day my mother left me . I was adopted by a senator. I hated to go to pray every sunday . Then i killed my adoptive parents. 9 years ago , i was lurking on internet to find some alien girl friend. Strangely i found darkspace instead of girlfriend. Since i didnt have a gf, I used to get all my stress cooled down on forums. Attacked devs without hassitation. I made them suffer! On purpose made silly topics to create 11 page of flame wars. Picked on goth day and night. Hacked his msn and spied every bit of information i could get to ruin his day. Then i was bored. I took a brake from the game. A while later , i felt something was missing. I just checked my desktop and i saw that silly old icon. I clicked on it , updated the data and here i am , once more.To ruin your day and make you rage quit darkspace.
Feel free to move this into fan fiction
