It isn't you going to Liberty I have an issue with, I'm just curious what path you intend to take to get there since you said you avoid going through Bretonia and a trip through Kusari would be rather awkward. There is a jump hole to Inverness in Newcastle, but... that involves flying through Newcastle, which is huge.
As for the weapons, a few chat logs I've seen from certain admins have indicated that. You could negotiate with the Lane Hackers for some debilitators without any issues, though, since I believe they're allowed to use them and they're our allies.
Also, I don't think heavier fighters would require a seperate "wing", just have your fighter wing with the Scimitars and whatever heavier fighters you pick and your bomber wing with the Falcatas.
