as a fairly new player i have had alot of offers to join feds but to be perfectly honest i cant see the point in joining one, i understand the arguement of making friends and getting advice but i have found it just as easy to pm players and simply ask if ive needed help. yes i know you get fed bonuses for attacks etc but with so few targets this seems a little pointless at times. there is no what i woulld call practical help a fed can give such as an internal fed market for minerals for instance, now i know in a game like this something like that would have to have restrictions on it as to a limit that can be posted per day per player etc as if free reign is given then it would make the game pointless in playing because everything is handed on a plate, which i believe from reading chat would turn the game into uc where things seem to be too easy, although i may be wrong since i have not played it. but i have to agree that from a new player coming into the game i cant really see the point in joining a fed, thats just my personal feelings others may have found joining a fed really helped them start out etc.
