So im on a single player play through and have the chance to make an alliance with the NPC faction that I started in. The location is great having two worm holes that lead to naoi sections. So is it worth it to be in an alliance with an NPC? Does it help with prices more so than just having an excellent reputation? Would I then be obligated to assist them beyond just if I was roleplaying? Just in general how does it work? Couldn't really find any information on it when I searched it.
