Roleplay ?

[onca]

Like I've always said.... The trouble with "Common sense" is that it ain't.

Me, I'm more concerned with the players who can't be bothered writing any stories at all, and still go about with whatever uber junk they can get their grubby hands on. Them and capship whores....

@Tenacity, I must disagree with you. It's easy to stand there and decry that some factions will have better stuff than others, like it or lump it, when it's _your_ faction that has the uber weapons. That mentality might be ligit in SP, where the player is encouraged to go further out and make friends with/battle with tougher factions to get better weps as a reward. But that doesn't cut it in MP, when you want balance and equality between factions.

(And and those folks that boast their Rogue chars use only Sammaels.... for chrissake, those thing dish out more DPS than most other class 9 guns, but have a high fire rate and speed to boot. Try playing Junkers with crappy Barragers, even Liberty guns as someone pointed out.)

Yngen is spot on about balance. Nobody likes to lose consistently, especially if your weps are so much worse than the oppositions. It only forces all but the most hardcore RP'ers into the "better" factions, as we have seen time and again.

Now what were we talking about again?
