Welcome! I hope you'll like playing CA. It might be weird for me... I like connecting to my factions on emotional level and the CA are problematic for me in that regard... but they are interesting. So I'll try them :)
Well, this is fair point. As for me, I like Shasvastii and Sigmaa in CA. Shasvastii looks good for me, cause after the cruel nature of survivalists and their methods there have deep connection between each other and, as I see it, warm feelings to their kin. Not as human feels it, but some of a kind. Who knows, may be even deeper. That’s how I see it. (Let me romanticize it)
That's funny cause it is the opposite for me; I cannot connect to any of the human sphere factions. Closest was maybe HB in Haqq. It is the alien nature of the CA and even Tohaa (not really...) that lets me emotionally connect because it is the aliens races that expand and enhance the universe of Infinity and make it unique for me. To me the human factions are pretty much the same squabbles as now in a different era and that is for lack of a better word ... boring, to many fans' ire. Playing Defiance is going to be hard as well because I am going to want the heroes to fail as I play i can't remember if this is a part of the game or not but I wish one of the stretch goals was to add CA heroes and play reverse scenarios of trying to protect its territory from the Defiance's Mission
Hey guys, one question, as I'm trying to work out my CA buying list: Aida Swanson. Any rumours of a regular release?
Drat. I'm considering buying Aida, but I'd like to avoid a situation I have with Valkyrie, when I bought the limited version - and then, soon after that, there came a regular version as part of the Soldiers of Fortune set...
Thankfully, Defiance comes with an Aida that is cool (along with a Victor Messer) so I am set, because while I wanted them, I didn't want them as much as the $ for the old LE ones.
for Aida I would use an Ashcroft, the female CSU, or the female Deva. The first two for decent unaligned female models the last for the mechanical look of being Sepsitorized
