+---- Thread: Pirate ID Limited Weaponry? (/showthread.php?tid=139036)
RE: Pirate ID Limited Weaponry??? - Traxit - 05-07-2016
Let me clarify:
The only thing I'm asking is for the unnecessary 90% tech nerf for House Civilian weaponry to be removed(bumped to 100%).
That's the most simple request and not a buff to the Pirate ID. It just adds in more variety to the selection of guns that are alternatives to Flashpoints and PGs.

I don't see how is there a problem with using Bombers with this ID. You have all civilian bombers including Roc, Cutlass, Waran and Touketsu(If anyone uses that).
As for Transports, you have access to all civilian transports.
Pirate ID is okay at its current state, except with the Fighter gun variety.

There'll be a reason for it burried deep in the PvP balance section but I think for the most part its to make the generic ID's less appealing, even if it is only slightly.

Pretty much this. It's been a running trend since .85, there's no legitimate balance reason for doing so. I'd like to see civ house weaponry get 100% on all the generic IDs. After all, it is civilian weaponry. House or not. Using "pirates aren't civilians" as an excuse not to let them use them is merit enough for nerfing flashpoints rofl.

100% agree. House Civilian = Civilian = available unrestricted on the open market = why in Sirius would anybody not be able to operate these things.
In fact I'd go so far as to give all Sirius IDs 90% at the lowest on house civilian weapons, with all those being 75 or 90 currently being 100%.

And what ships do these companies use as their security ships? Civilian. So why the heck is my Sabre isn't able to use these ships when a house corporation flying the same ship as I am can? It doesn't make any sense.
It would be lovely if we could get a Green considering this minor change.

I'd even put everything mentioned above on 100% to be honest. It's a good suggestion, as long as they also get any other tech cell that's on 75% and isn't included in the buff list down to 10%.

why complain about weapons available for a fighter with that id when you should not have a reason to fly a fighter on that id?
RE: Pirate ID Limited Weaponry? - Shiki - 05-07-2016
Who pirating in a fighter anyway?

Because I'm better with a fighter instead of a bomber, transport or gunboat?
