1) there isnt a best faction
2) second rule of best faction club is there is no best faction
3) the best faction is whichever team you're not on
4) the best faction is whichever team you're not on AND is currently kicking your heiney all over the map
5) the best faction is whichever team has the most players on at a given point in time
6) the best faction is whichever is currently the developer favorite, which is always ugto.
7) why do people always assume one is singuarly better than any others? why does one have to be better? cant they all be relatively equal, each with their own strengths and weaknesses? seriously, if one was the absolute best, whats the point of having any others, people would just be on the best one all the time. there isnt any best faction. deal with it.

There are few games that manage to create a perfect balance between factions. At best any game could hope for is a balance where one faction's superiority over the other is so small it can be neglected.
Darkspace without tactics favours UTGO, but with tactics it's anyone's guess. Best tactics on high level standards will win the game, if both teams apply them, it's more a lucky role of the dice who choose a better tactic then the other, and which team can change tactics quickest. So all you have to do is see which faction has the most high level standard tactics available to choose from, that faction would be best.
Yours sincerely,
Demigan.

This game's best faction is the faction with the most number of players, but if all factions had equal numbers then like many other i would say ugto just because they can tank loads of damage.

Basically, here is how it goes in most combat situations.
ICC: There is this general stereotype idea thatwe are lnog range, but above 400gu dreds efvade railguns anyway, so thats totally **^&^%&.
Get a smaller ship then the enemy or you are ^&$$&*.
Generally, ICC has to rely on higher maneuverability, nifty combat moves and the quick defence boost by shield rotation to survive.
UGTO:
Get in there, blow stuff up. You can tank a ton of damage, and dish a ton of it too. Your Slightly less maneuverable then the other factions, but dont worry. your UGTO!
K'luth:
Work as a team with cloak hit and run gangbangs and guess what. you've conquered the MV. example: Praetorian Wolves. Geez, they were scary when they were all active. The whole idea of luth is thus: Cloak. get up behind an enemy unclock and spezzbar mash.
Your armor is a biological version of aluminum foil so dont take much damage.
9/10 times unless you have a dictor ICC will either A. jump out or B. shield rotate onto their butt, turn around and give you some spacebar mash without you even hulling them. UGTO will probably respond by point jumping EAD's onto you, or just GTFSO there.
So, yea.

there is only one way to put this in any context. it dependz on what you want. Point blank beam range with ship's that Regen armor fast and have a Automated hul repair? and almost all there guns except tropedos and Missles have unlimted ammo.
ICC are more about the crusier's. for instance they have more crusiers than any other faction. there weapon's are acurate and the cannon's take ammo but do more damage.the ablity to rotate there shileds make them excelete at surviveing the impossible. and there focus seams to be long range to mid. the AD is nice and all but not as usefull as a siphon or a EAD
UGTO. the most active of all the Faction's by far. less manveriable yes. but with the right armor and ench's you can tank so much damage you make a siphon and a Mandible team up on you and will probably be the EAD that win's
depenz on your View. i mean really. UGTO focus on Heavy Combat. good armor. and the most active useually.
K'luth are very powerfull and there ship's unlock much slower. but they are more powerfull then the other faction's beam wise and in The ablity to do a Hit and Run tactic's
and last but most defently not last is the MI you see one do the following CRTL+D twice. and SHIFT+J. those are your options any otejhr way and you are screwd epicly.
