I always like the option for randomness.
Please consider allowing an option to choose random faction and have core select an option for a series of choices.
This may or may not include all faction on the core, could be setup to only include some factions.
If it's not a huge coding issue, could be very fun.

It'd have to be all factions in a core, otherwise you get into whole slews of stuff that is only for little gain.

Random is my favorite faction/race/etc. whenever I play RTS... this would be a great addition!

It would make for more challenging games, since you wouldn't be able to choose a faction in reaction to your opponent choosing theirs, just to pick one you think is good against what they've chosen. It would be equally surprising for both. It might even help balance the factions better.

I think this has been talked about before..
The real question is - why hasn't this been done already?

A random idea: "Hide my faction choice"
The comm still chooses their faction as usual, but if they check the hide the faction box then their faction doesn't get displayed before launch (Team background could show a big ? or something). Faction choice is hidden for both teams so only the comm knows what faction their team is.
Essentially it stops people thinking if they go X I go Y (well, they can take guesses at what X will be)
