Suggestion: Encourage use of faction ID's and gear

[Haste]

I suspect the main problem is the Sabre. It's simply too good right now.

There's really nothing wrong with - let's take Liberty as an example - the Guardian or the Avenger. Vengeances are great, Magma Hammers allow for a great full shotgun if you're into that. The tech available to lawfuls is fine.

It's just that (almost) everything bleaks in comparison to the Sabre right now. PGs are very popular too, but that seems to be mainly down to projectile effects. I don't find them particularly good or bad. Plus, lawfuls can use them just as well.

I'm not entirely sure why the .86 Sabre - which had distinct strengths and weaknesses - had to make way for this good-at-everything ship.
