I waited til YOE to play this, about halfway through my first game and something like this is my #1 wishlist item. Faction personalities and lore are awesome and their dynamic adds a lot of depth to gameplay. GREAT idea. But it makes no sense that the only way to progress as the organization trying to _save_ humanity is to _sabotage_ humanity!

This kind of neutral random mission would give a great way to increase faction relations without having to raid others all the time. Would allow them to increase the penalty for raiding a faction to something more sensible. If later factions have low rep between each other, _then_ they could ramp up their interest in having PP do raids.

As for geoscape gameplay goes, I wish that there was some way to alter faction opinions with each other.

As for combat, it would be interesting to have some limited support from factions whenever you raid Pandoran colonies. Or ally faction craft flying towards havens that are being attacked, so it actually looks like they're doing something instead of only depending on you to protect all the havens.

I would like more robust faction content and interaction, but not necessarily FiraXCOM style random missions. The pitch for PP was simulated world - that’s a promise it is having to live up to.

There is progress - being able to raid Pandoran bases with faction, factions warring with each other. I would like to see more of that, and us being able to participate. Just as one would do in 4X game. Allied factions could make demands of us, based on their objectives - granting them support, perhaps making sure certain base doesn’t fall, or sabotaging targeted by them enemy base.

Though perhaps that’s expecting too much at this point... hoping for the game to become what was pitched.

Yeah. I agree. All the factions focus too much on screwing each other over. It's like they're freakin' children.

Agreed. More flavour to each faction and further interactions is most welcome!

The game needs this so badly

Agree
