Reise, no offense, you make an excellent point. But in my opinion, the way you are putting it is only going to add to the demise of RP on the server.
PvP is essential to RP. But RP comes first, even if it does mean mounting your factions guns, and losing an edge. I find it more RP to lose the edge and die rather than survive, but live with the fact that I just killed someone with a completely OORP loadout. This is what separates Discovery from Void and other PvP servers.
For instance, if I were to RP as a not-so-well funded terrorist, the last things that I would be mounting are Codenames and Nomad guns. Probably, the only guns that I would use are the standard issue guns that I get from my boss. My Serpentis char is probably going to mount only Debbies and Widows, since those are the only ones available to him. Sure, I can mount a few codies and Nomad guns, but do you think a Xeno would do that? He hates outsiders, and would hate Aliens even more.
@ Chopper: Now, there is something where I do disagree with you. You can't be that absolute with the alliance thing, since alliance dynamics do occur on the server. For instance, prior to AoM's introduction of the Hessian specific line of fighters, the hessians had access to the blueprints of Sabres(It was sold on Vogtland).
