I know this is already probably to late to discuss but since we are in beta hopefully the devs can give us a nice little present. The thing is that there is a huge piece of Rebellion missing the looks of the faction. When I first started beta testing I noticed while playing in SP that it was really hard to find if they were a loyalist or rebel faction because i didn't know about the Diplomatic stats declaring which faction you or they were on. In the original anouncement I read all the new features in Rebellion but I noticed that this was missing "Loyalist and Rebel versions of some of the existing Sins’ frigates and cruisers, each with their own unique strengths and weaknesses."
hmmmmm........... The TEC looks the same on both sides minus the titan and same with the Advent giving them the only distinctive value with their ships. I think that each faction should have a look and feel of their own. The TEC for example the Rebel faction ships should look battle torn and worn down in some way with more powerful and offensive weapons. While the Loyalist faction keeps their ships on a more less offensive side and more a defensive side. The capital ships should also have different but similar abilitys depending on the faction giving each faction a really cool feeling to it making the player feel like he is leading this faction and he knows what it is.
The Advent are a tuff nut to crack I admit but the Loyalists are still bent on their revenge so they should have more forward and more powerful weapons and a menacing look and feel to their ships. I want to see a ship and know if its a rebel or loyalist instead of looking at their diplomatic screen. The rebels on the otherhand since the Advent have suffered a "schism" in the Unity they should look more spiritual but has the ability to do some damage to anyone who fights them.
I know the Vasari isnt out yet so I dont event want to try them please comment and discuss and who knows we might even get it.
