To clarify, favorite faction does not mean that SOE plans on screwing up other factions or making things unbalanced. That is not what I meant by saying that. Everyone has their favorite play styles, and from what I have seen the SOE developers/staff seem to enjoy playing NC the most. I for one, enjoy playing NC and TR the most, but hate playing Vanu with a passion.

In the game I work on, i enjoy playing as Rebels more than Imperials and Republic more than CIS but doesn't mean I dont try to make them balanced. I just enjoy playing as those teams more.

Pretty much every weapon or ability in PS2 is balanced. This is really one of the most balanced games I have ever seen and it is why I love it so much.
