| This lesson introduces the [[factions]] used in the most commonly played [[core]] - [[Community Core]]. For information about the factions on other cores or those yet to be released consult the Allegwiki article [[Factions]].
| |
| | |
| This lesson tries to present a "Top 10 Tips" for each faction, based on what a newbie needs to know.
| |
| | |
| ===Belters===
| |
| #Belter ships have no shields but have extra hull to compensate.
| |
| #Belter ships have a lot of mass making them feel very sluggish.
| |
| #All non-capital class ships can mount a booster.
| |
| #Belters is a very strong bombing faction. Expect to be nanning a lot if you fly them.
| |
| #All belter small class ships can mount a [[nan]], except the basic interceptor. See point #4.
| |
| #Belters can use any technology they secure, regardless of what techbases they've built.
| |
| #Costs for stations and researching ships is lower but the cost of researching equipment is higher.
| |
| #Due to this Belters will often multi-tech (invest in more than one branch of the tech tree at a time).
| |
| #They're slow at researching meaning it may take a while to get advanced tech.
| |
| #They can obtain omni-fighters, costing $500 each, which can mount any small-class ship's equipment.

| ===Bios===
| |
| #Bios have the best signature and the best scan range of any faction.
| |
| #All Bios ships can carry a Heavy Cloaking Device, making them even stealthier.
| |
| #The heavy cloak weighs a lot and removing it from your ship can improve handling.
| |
| #Bios have the longest research time (10 minutes) meaning that you will struggle during the first part of the game.
| |
| #On the other hand, their bases are upgraded by default, meaning you can start researching high level technology immediately.
| |
| #Due to their 10 minute research time it is essential that the initial cons build successfully.
| |
| #Bios fighters can carry prox mines making them a very versatile starting ship.
| |
| #Combining hvy clk and a lot of prox on a fighter makes it handle worse than a belter one.
| |
| #Bios teams often research gunships immediately. If this is the case you should escort them with a nan, especially if you haven't got interceptors or enhanced fighters yet.
| |
| # Bios lifepods can ripcord meaning they can often get home far faster than other factions.
