Then human ships/equipment shouldn't be balanced between each other either. Why should Outcast technology not be superior to Liberty Rogue/Xeno? Why shouldn't the Corsair as their lore suggest have insanely good ships/weapons? Why shouldn't the Order have OP tech compared to civilians?
There used to be times when certain factions had more OP gear than others. At that time all the people who didn't care much for RP or factions just made ships in those factions (Outcasts with old Kraken Sabres was one of them).
Either we should go all the way RP and disregard factions with inRP inferior tech level and watch them get mowed down and not played or we should be uniform and keep everything as balanced as we can make it. Having special exclusions is just like the elitism of when more factions were invite only with no indie counterpart and had their own special gear to make them better than regular so that their members can have an easier time being cool pvp'ers.
