Corsairs and Civi Tech

[Athenian]

Well, from what I've read, you'd all make your case a little better if you didn't suggest that anyone disagreeing with you was some kind of oppressive neo-fascist, compulsive whinger or ignorant muppet.

I suppose Corsairs should be considered capable of getting Civilian stuff too. I just can't see why any Corsair would. But what do I know?

Part of the problem with weapon choice is perception. By all means, use all the Eagles or Ravens Talons with Nomad blasters you want. Thing is, people will see you and think ...well who cares what they think? It's all about role-play. Who cares that generic weapons and ships kill off what little unique flavour a faction exudes through ships and guns. Let the talking and in game action decide for us. I'll go run a BHG faction that doesn't use any Mantas. Whee. That ought to be fun.

I roleplayed landing on Freeport 11 and buying debs. I'm a Corsair. Who cares that my own faction has these wonderful guns? Me? Couldn't care less. Of course anyone I meet in game will think - "Why did he choose those when he has the amazing Del Cids to choose from?"

People will think that more than they will think - "Ah these Corsair idiots. Always firing their slow Del Cids when the Zoner station up north has these uber debilitators that I use."

Bias? Discrimination against the Corsair playerbase?

No faction gets treated equally - to be truly unfair we could treat everyone the same. Give all ships the same stats. Give all guns the same stats. Let player skill and co-operation decide things. Heck, even do it for caps. Make all differences cosmetic.

You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

Personally I'd favour people not getting to use anything when their faction has its own of it. Including ships, guns and shampoo.

Of course if this is to do with a perceived injustice against players as opposed to a faction, the decision will have to be reconsidered.
