What problem's are we trying to fix?

Who is unbalanced and how do we know this?

Instead of everyone having an opinion of what is unbalanced I recommend getting some real data.

Just knowing damage is not really enough. The speed diff of all weapons in a load out, the manuverability of a ship, number of weapons, how they are mounted, and most important, the skill of the pilot.

This would mean putting some volunteers in the exact same fighters with the exact same weapon load out, guns only, no bats/bots. After a couple fights we can make certain both players are of the same skill level.

Once we are certain that both players are of the same skill we can outfit them with faction ships with the weapons of choice for the factions. Seems people think Corsairs and Outcasts are not quite balanced and maybe lawful and unlawful are out of balance also.

I'd rather see some concrete data from well done experiments than just everyones opinion. Specially when making such a mod wise change.

Least thats just my opinion.:)
