Implying that both factions aren't already equal evils? Yeah, I said it. Both the Federation and Zeon are equal parts asshole, so why should I be forced to choose one when I could just say fuck it and stick it to both of them?

Because not everyone else necessarily wants to say fuck it? And the rewriting and narrative bending-over-backwards necessary to make that happen is a headache and a half? And you could debate endlessly the morality of the Federation and Zeon?

Just three reasons. And to expand on my perspective of them, I don't see a point in playing a UC game wherein the PCs are against literally every faction. Not to mention the fact that it would have to be one beneath the Federation [i]and[/i] Zeon's notice; ships cannot carry enough supplies to be self-sufficient for all that long, so a third group would have to stock up at a colony anyway. Which would be pretty hard to do once you've said "fuck it" and pissed both factions off, because they outnumber you, have better tech, have reinforcements that you do not, and Side 6 is the only neutral Side.

It doesn't work.
