Thread: Imperial on the ground/smuggler in space will it work?
I am a tier 3 smuggler grinding my first tier 4 box who just recently joined with the imperials on the ground. I've read that smugglers alliance is pretty much rebel aligned and the corvette mission is for an Imperial Corvette? I'm guessing I will not be able to damage it being an Imperial on the ground correct? So my best bet for a pilot faction is gonna be Corsec or RSF?
Works Perfectly, i am too, but:
1) All Imperial Ships you hit accidentally, like when helping an Imperial Friend on a Escort mission, see you as Enemy, Imps can hit their own Ships, but cant Damage them.
2) With Tier 4 and Master Pilot Mission: Imperial cant help, as you go sometimes against Imperial Ships, Esp the Imp Corvette, get Rebel or Neutral (non RSF) Friends to help you there.
3) You can Attack any NPC.
Apart from the RP-Compromise with the Imperial Corvette... Why not be a Person with Smuggler Background (Smuggler, Having Learned Fylying with Smugglers Alliance), that becomes Imperial, but keeps her Skills?
My alt is just that, an Imperial Major-Master Smuggler on the ground and Master Pilot with Smuggler's Alliance. Once you get to the upper tier missions you will be forced to engage Imperial vessels and as one of the people already mention in this thread, you can accidently shoot Imperial vessels in space and they will fight back. Best way around this last part is to declare 
I do this all the time now so I don't have to worry about clipping a friend's escort mission target plus you still get the fp.
Good luck on taking the vette on though. You really will need severalotherneutral/rebelpilots to take that one on. I can solo the thing with my main imperial pilot but as a hundred other posts will point out, it is only because of bomber strike.

Corsec get's to choose wheather or not their final master missions are against imperials or rebels. Dunno about RSF or smuggler.

Corrected. Freelance pilots that are members of a ground faction can declare at an aligned station and earn faction, just like anyone else... gee Zanholo you didn't know that?
