I would like it if people could tell me which strand they prefer, how they outfit there ship for it, and why they like the strand. I made enough money, and completed the other 2 central objectives, bought and upgraded a UE crusier, and cant decide what strand to work for. ARRGGHHHHHHH :mad: :mad: WHY CAN'T I DECIDE?????????

You despise Genocide? Then why do you like the confeds in EV. The use biological and chemical weapons.

I prefer the Azdgari. Their shield generators are handy (and the difference they make on smaller ships is quite noticeable); the Azdgari Upgrade increases your turning at no cost of weapon space, and working for them gives you access to the most effective fighter bay around (though it is also the most expensive to maintain). I could be wrong, but I also believe that the Azdgari are also the most profitable strand to work for. I am also greatly swayed by the Azdgari Warship configuration, which I am very fond of.
However, if you side with them or the Igadzra you'd best use the quickjump plug-in; that UE Cruiser of yours is far too slow to complete their recruitment missions successfully.

I personally haven't really sided with all the strand races of Override before, but I've always liked the Azdgari and Igadzra. Both are cool races with cool ships...

I have a plug which lets you upgrade your jump to a max of 1 day. it also only takes up 2 tons/upgrade. It friggin' rocks 'cuz i can turn my slower than molasses on a cold day crusier to jump like a shuttle. I think i can get it to behave like a fighter with the right upgrades, but I need to work for the azadgari to get it. I think i will work for the aggies, but still deciding

I think the Igadzra are the worst strand to side with. SAEs are okay, but they only give you one good outfit (Plasma Siphon) and the Igazra is too slow to be really good.
That said, I like the Adzgari. The Adzgari Upgrade is great, and the Shield Generator even better. The Azdara is a good ship, but you can't upgrade it that much.

Actually, they are my favorite strand 
They give you okay ships, but SAEs and the Plasma Siphon 0wn.

The SAEs are really good against the UE. The plasma siphon is awesome against swarming fighters (almost as good as my Favorite weapon {the weapon from god} the Dispersal Rocket)

I love all the stuff the Azdgari offer. But they are way too stupid and don't have as much power as the other strands. The Azdara is the best ship in the game. The upgrades 0wn. Azdgari Tech = w00tage - Azdgari Strategy = Stupidity

I suppose that one of the major disadvantages of the Zidagar as allies is that one of the really bug things they do for you is 'tinker with your ship', miniaturising much of your existing hardware. In reality, this adds space to your ship, allowing you to fit something nice like Dospect armour.
Of course, if you want to change ships later, you lose the upgrade! Despite continued friendship with the Ziddies, their technicians won't tinker with your next ship. Thus, unless you are 100% in love with the ship you have, considering that you will keep it for the rest of the game, one of the big reasons for working with the phased-beam boys is of reduced value. A dog is just for Christmas. The plasma siphon, on the other hand, is for life.
Choose carefully...

Since I have never worked for anybody but the Iggies. (I think I can claim the new title as best Strand name butcher :D) The Plasma Siphon, since I've played 1.0.0 since yesterday, was easily the best secondary in the game, since it's unlimited. 
Of course, they made me sell my Cruiser in order to make several of the missions in time, but that's okay. I now have access to the ship that it "Recognized as the most powerful warship in the game." Neener, neener! Actually, I don't like them, so I'm now working for Agzirmatifalbadda. The green things.

I didn't know the Igadzra String gave you access to the Voinian Dreadnought.

The Dreadnaught is not the most reconized warship. IT'S SLOW! The UE Cruiser is. It's very well rounded with speed, power, shields, armor, and a nifty little seat for the captain too!
Starnds? BAH! Screw all three, I take Strandless.

I have a question about the Zidagar mission string. After the completion of the "observe the Azdgari fleet as it blows all hell out of a renegade fleet" After this I return to the Outpost, and there would seem to be no new missions. I then ventured out to Zidagar, and got a cargo fleet escort mission, which I suspect is just another of those random missions you sometimes acquire. I am now pondering what to do, since I never got one of those "Central Objective Complete" messages, like I did for the UE and Nebulae things.
By the way, what ARE all the central objectives, I know of those two, and I'm pretty sure a third is the destabalizing of the Strand War, but are there others? And what else do the Zachit have to offer besides an easily gained membership? Thanks for reading all this.

Nope. Those are the three central objectives of EV:O.
