The Fed storyline does give me a dirty feeling. I guess clinical authoritarian brutality just isn't my thing...
Well, I've registered, and I've completed three storylines already. If you set your mind to it, you can plough through Nova pretty fast. Those vaunted rail guns aren't too difficult, once you get your skills worked up...

I just can't play the Fed storyline *after* the Vell-os storyline, for obvious reasons.
Now, I'm not a big ran of railguns. I'd much rather have Wraithii or a good Summer Bloom than bother with them. And dodging them from a range isn't actually that hard. Granted, the computer-controlled ships can't dodge too well, but human accuracy still doesn't work at those ranges, at least for me.

I am back from my Nova spell! I indeed was sucked in too - ran the Polaris string and I'm pretty satisfied now. I need a new computer however, I get down to 4 fps when in battle with my 2 pulse lasers + my 6 fpcs going. Bad. (Check FPS by pressing F12)

I've gotten my G4 down to 3 fps taking over planets using my Raven and six more as escorts - NOT counting the fighters (!).

I felt decidedly icky after playing the Fed line.
