[LH~Highwayman]

I fly with the Lane Hackers... I fly a Sabre, two actually. Ran him up from just a wee Dagger to Greyhound, to this. No help outside the faction, and more than that came from Piracy. I fly with guns purchased from the Outcasts (Krakens), and Adv. Debilitators (from Leiden). Now, I would be using all Hacker weapons, but if I did that, I would be left with a DPS so low I couldn't kill a patriot. THAT is my only reason to use better weapons. Do I feel good about it? Not really. However, the LH did make a deal with the Outcasts to get these guns, so... I don't know. Just try to pretend they're Hellflurries, eh?

Anyway, all this talk about Battle Razors, Infernoes, and Supernovas.... Do you seriously expect that we could ever allow only the factions that invented them to use them? The Corsairs and Order would have well-armed bombers, well-armed capital ships... The Outcast's enemies would have no shields... And everyone else in the galaxy would be completely screwed. Does it make sense that only three factions in the game have good weapons? Not really... We have to suck up our pride and use more evenly balanced weapons or just join the factions that have the best stuff.

I can't believe it was even suggested that only the Order and Corsairs should have access to the Supernova and Battlerazors. While we're at it, why don't we take away mortars, too? Bombers without supernovas are about as useful as... Well, nothing. Nova does no damage to most of the capital ships (And you'll probably kill yourself). Minirazor is the same. Any Corsair in a battleship could take out almost an entire House Fleet without problem...
