I do like that this will decrease the number of pirates and mercs with mixed "op" tech. What I do not like is that whoever doesn't belong to a faction and managed to get faction equipment due to hard work will be ****ed.

When the game was announced back in 2002/03 it had a wonderful slogan. "Be what you want to be. Do what you want to do. Go where you want to go"

YES this isn't vanilla freelancer. But I kinda feel sad that this old slogan is being kicked out.
We will have more choices. Yeah.
And the amount of "I-can-haz-all-gun-types" mercs will decrease.

But this will slowly turn the game into "Factionlancer".


EDIT: No idea if anyone gets what I mean.

actually - we support it even more to "be what you want to be" - we simply discourage "be what you want to be - cause you want to have a optimized loadout"

right now, you get sanctioned for having :

- a titan
- with GRN guns
- AI shield
- nomad thruster
- inferno

even if all those factions have - after very long work - agreed to give you their tech

... once 4.86 comes..... you will be ALLOWED to use all that after your hard work, so i dont quite see the problem. ( correction - yes, i do see the problem, but it is not the problem that is related to hard work or "be what you want to be" )


to be clear:

i think what you want to say is "after long hard diplomatic work, you want to be rewarded in terms of getting what may be - as a side effect of long RP - a slightly better loadout than others may have that have NOT invested such hard work"

and yes - you are correct

one experience made is:

- player put in a LOT of hard work to gain what they want ... ( seriously hard work and dedication ) - but once they HAVE it - that becomes quite trivial - and their former hard work doesn t quite shine through anymore - and the "harvest" of their hard work becomes troublesome for others.

4.86: Hopin' it don't suck.

Well, as long as the nerf is somewhat reasonable. Not a fighter nerfed to 0.3*powercore, having barely the core to fire a single class 9 gun. Or a bomber that'll take 2 days to recharge for SNAC, it'll be decent. Else they'll just be male procreative organ ships - look what I have, but never fly!
