Ok, so I may be a bit out of the loop, so I have some questions about the newly implemented Faction Play..

1) Role choice between Merc, Loyalist and Freelancer - is it possible to switch between these, and if so, what are the costs/repercussions of this switch?

2) Do only Loyalists get loyalty points and rewards now? Do Mercs get anything?

3) Event sides - Once you choose a side, is it possible to switch sides before the event is over?

4) What exactly is the purpose of being in a faction if you must choose some other faction to fight for in every event?

5) How do event phases work? How long does each phase last? Are there multiple modes available in each phase? Are players forced to play only a single mode, like Scouting, or can we still play Scouting and some regular invasion mode? Not everybody likes scouting..

6) Does holding planets have any benefit whatsoever?

7) Can we get an exact number on how much "extra" bonus does each role get? If I'm a merc, exactly how many extra cbills do I get? How many Loyalty points for Loyalists, how many extra XP for freelancers? Is this number dependent on chosen faction?

Seems to me A LOT of things are quite unsaid about Faction Play.. you guys need to be more direct and forthcoming, not everybody has the time or the will to sift through countless patch notes and forum posts..

1) Right now, you can't switch roles for an ongoing conflict. Paul stated that this is going to change and you will be able to switch per phase of conflict.

2) Mercs only get more CBills

3) see 1)

4) none, and afaik right now, you can only choose the current conflict's factions

5) How long a phase lasts is stated in the conflict description. Right now, there is only one fixed game mode per phase, be it scouting or something else. Paul has stated that this is going to change and that there will be subsets of modes from which one will be picked at random.

6) no clue, sry

7) see the patch notes
