Yup, and I am very approachable concerning that brand of RP and our tech :)

btw, Corsair, Outcast, IMG and Zoner GB turrets say us those turrets are widely avaiable.;)

if we did that, why not do it now? Each faction already has contraband restrictions.

I like this idea, but is this idea not already going in?
I mean code weapons are actually illegal if Im not mistaken.
Plus...I already steal weapons on my chars. (Ssssh...Dont tell it to anyone)
Like my Junker wears equipment from a other faction. (IrP I've found some of the weapons on old abonded ships and stolen blablabla)
BUT! An real Black Market would be awesome to RP! I would love that.
Like police suddenly comes in, checking where the illegal weapons are sold.
The criminals who sells the weapons are trying to flee and some of them fight. Etc. etc. Awesome

Yes but, with white cell weapons you have to ask permission.
With black market weapons you don't have to ask anyone.

Also which brings up another point.
Why wouldn't a faction use captured enemy weapons and equipment?

No, white cell is to control at least tech combinations. It'd not make much sense to have GMG GB turrets on, let's say, Molly GB.

Faction can use captured equipment with SRP. And it's not hard, if you RP it properly and perfectly logical.

Because nobody wants to fly against a Sabre mounting Krakens and Tizona del Cids. Perhaps worse, a Wraith with Nomad Energy Cannons and Tizzies. Every RP reason for not using enemy tech is an arbitrary handwave for the more practical gameplay consideration.

right. I remember way back when RM used to use codies often and shure enough the del cids went 600m/s like the codies. Hence the perfect shield buster. Sad part was they were corsair and denied even if we managed to get one as a "war trophy"

Speaking of which, what ever did happen to "war Trophies"?

I never saw them, but I imagine they would give people the wrong idea.
