I read somewhere befor (and for the life of me I cannot remember where) that joining factions other than Imperial or Alliance was being considered. Has anyone else heared about this? Or, does anyone else think this would be a great idea? I think it would be great to be a part of Jabbas Faction, or The Black Sun, or RSF, etc.

Oh trust me, it is a COOL idea. No telling when it will be put in though

I have always thought that this would be a really cool idea to be able to support jabba, or even lady Valarian....(stop laughing, i think she's HOT!). Only problem is being able to get enough players to join either of those factions. Too many people are either rebel or imperial and fight amongst each other. Unless they made each of the underworld factions alligned with one of the GCW factions, black sun would probably be imperial alligned, i'm not sure about jabba though...it's hard to say since he's such a slime ball.

I had written up some stuff a long time ago about an "Underworld" faction. The way I saw it, you're right too few people would be in those factions if they had to choose between them and Reb/Imp. However, I thought it would be good to be able to align with several of the Underworld/Police factions in addition to Reb/Imp. Or at least be able to join Reb/Imp at your leisure, as a mercenary sort ("Will fight for credits").

My idea was that you could join up to 3 different Underworld factions, to work on different planets with different bosses. There would be certain limitations that work the same way as faction enemies work now. So you couldn't work for both Valarian and Jabba, since they are enemies. And you couldn't work for one of the Corellia underworld factions and CorSec.

That would open up alot of different possibilities. You'd have Reb/Imp as enemies if you chose to, and you could have CorSec/RSF/etc after you (players who joined them and NPC's) if you're in a criminal faction, etc. Of course, that's all probably far too complicated for the dev team and if they ever get around to a third faction it'll probably be Hutt faction and you can't join Reb/Imp if you are Hutt. They've taken cool ideas and messed them up before (faction armor now comes to mind), they probably would with a third faction too.

Cancelled 7/27/05 - I joined to play Star Wars, not Jedi-BH Wars. You've ignored/gutted/abused just about every other profession in the game, while spending most of your time working on Jedi and BH as they related to Jedi. You've basically killed the game for anyone who doesn't want the glowstick. Congratulations.
