Because someone loved the IMG too much and also created lolcaps for them.

Well, the IMG and the GMG had their own guns in vanilla too. It's probably because they, along with the GMG, work farther out in the Edge Worlds, where there's more danger.

If the IMG gets them, the GMG should get some too.
Then again... the GMG have a rheinland battleship...

The GMG do have their own shipline/weapons line. Do the Sunblasts/Skyblasts ring a bell?

Isnt that a Special Role Play Character?

I think the IMG having caps fits into the "disco silliness" category.
The GMG is also a bit strange considering that the Junkers say that the GMG never touched the remains of the Rheinland Imperial fleet after the war...

I'm really not sure how you like at the corporations of the Discovery universe, but I always percieved them as having money as their number one priority. That means being cheap bastards when it comes to safety. Certainly there are some exceptions to the rule (Bowex, ALG, and DSE come to mind) due to extremely hostile work environments, but if every corp got their own guns then they'd all want their own, and then on top of that there's the whole effects and balance problem. While not a member of the dev team or anything ridiculous like that, I'm pretty damn sure that it would be extremely frustrating and a waste of time and effort.

Or it'll just encourage more lolboat spam. It's not always easy to find somebody to pirate with if you're an indie, you know. (Unless of course you can put up with the lolwuts)

Most governments will establish some degree of regulation on companies so the workers will be safe. No one uses purely unregulated capitalism anymore. Plus, I never said I wanted every company to have its own gun. The majority of the people here want either just one House civilian line or an expansion of the existing civilian line. Making guns for DSE, Ageira, Kishiro, etc. will most likely never happen, as that will take way too much time and effort.

I like Dusty's idea, expand the Civilian Line of guns to include all energy types. Also give the flashpoints and civilian particle weapons a buff so they are worth using.

Yesh, DO that, Please.
Thing is, THey will never be better than other weapons.
