Jinx, those guns(The Gaian gun, and the RM gun) need to be fixed. Nomad guns should not drop so frequently.
I wasn't singling out the RM, I was using them as an example. Frankly, I'm not entirely aware of the amount of damage each gun in FL does.
Once they are fixed, those factions won't have to mount Nomad guns. But the thing is, people are going to continue mounting Nomad guns, regardless of what gun their faction has. My problem is not with factions with incompetent guns, but the factions with great guns.
Nomad guns are supposed to be rare, even rarer than the Code Names.
Why? IT'S ALIEN! I'm not going to go around, picking up stuff that just dropped of a Das Wilde or a Nomad...those things are weird, I don't want to be near them...
I can understand a few people mounting them, and that is why we should only decrease the drop rate, and remove them from being sold on Nomad bases.
Nomad guns are detrimental to RP. Remember that this is NOT a PvP server. This is an RP server, and the equipment that you mount on your characters is extremely important to your character's RP.
Now, on to Codenames. Unlike Nomad guns, codenames do not have a specific history. They are just prototype weapons, and as a result, the player can invent his or her own RP for the weapon. For Nomad guns, this RP is not as flexible.
Let's take one of my planned chars, for instance. He's an experienced IED maker, and has this line:
Prometheus gave the spark that saved humanity...it's only fitting that his spark ends it.
Thus, he will mount two PROMETHEUS on planned his bomber. It's not that much of an RP, I'll admit, but it's something. He has a reason to want to mount them.
On a final note, this is a RP server. RP precedes PvP in all respects. You can't gear up your ship to mount the best loadout, and the reason why people mount Codies and Nomads is typically for this reason.
Your loadout should reflect your RP.
