Who can use civilian guns?

[AdamantineFist]

Honestly, I think that this is somewhat absurd. It shouldn't be too difficult for the Corsairs to get their hands on some civilian weapons. Not only would they be easy to grab (kill Freelancers or raid weapons caches), they would likely be easy to produce and service. They are CIVILIAN weapons. They're probably also available on the black market. Shouldn't be too difficult to buy them off of some shady arms dealer. Sure, they have class 9 shield killers, but what can you do with class 8 weapons? You'd be doing such minuscule amounts of hull damage that it wouldn't even be worth it to fly a light fighter. The Corsairs should get class 8 shield killers in the next version, but until then I say they should be allowed to use the civilian shield killers.
