Restricting codenames

[Tenacity]

Ok, so hear me out, and then put in your honest opinion on the subject.

Everyone I fly with here hates the fact that codenames are used as an excuse to throw out your faction's guns. Why use class 9 Wyrms when you can use iron hammers instead? They're better!... not a very IRP attitude.
The same goes for nomad guns... people use them because they're easy to obtain and are miles better than standard weaponry available from your faction dealerships.

So the basic idea behind my proposal here is to stop the abuse of these weapons and regulate them in a way that forces players to stick to their faction's weaponry.

First off, a very basic addition to the rules:
-No ship may carry more than 2 nomad blasters/cannons or codename weapons.

That alone would stop a lot of the abuse. most VHF's have 4 class 10 weapon slots, and if you're only allowed to use two of those on nomad or code weapons, you have to fill the other two with class 10 missiles or class 9 guns from your faction. These types of weapons are supposed to be -special- equipment, not something you see on every single VHF/Bomber out there.

Second, restriction of codenames/nomad guns to certain factions based on where the wrecks are found, what faction the wreck belongs to, and the basis of the weapon itself (in the case of nomad guns).

Some simple examples:

ARCHANGEL:
Source - Volsung, Omega 41 system

-Corsairs
-Red Hessians
-Rheinland
-Bretonia

BLOODSTONE, IRON HAMMER, ONYX:
Source - Old Imperial Navy Fighter, Sigma 13 system

PROMETHEUS:

-Bounty Hunters

THORS HAMMER:
Source - Rebel, Omicron Theta System
Usable by:
-Corsairs
-Red Hessians
-Order
-bounty hunters

WILDFIRE:
Source - pathfinder (Omicron beta), Vengeance (omicron gamma)
Usable By:
-corsairs
-outcasts
-bounty hunters

Nomad Energy Cannons / Nomad Energy Blasters:
Source - Nomad ships
Usable By:
-Order
-Liberty
-Zoners
-bounty hunters

I didnt put every single codename in there of course, but that's a lot of the standard ones, and the nomad guns/cannons are listed at the end.

What this does is restrict factions to using only a certain type of codename - though some factions, where the wrecks are more common, have access to several types.

Further, I think arms dealers should be restricted a lot more than they are now. Nobody likes coming up on a wreck, thinking "hey i might get a few more credits today" or "hey, some new guns!" and finding out seconds later that the wreck has been looted already by an arms dealer who had a low level character sitting right next to it waiting for server restarts.

I just think something needs to be done about the over-use of these weapons. Nearly everyone out there uses codenames over faction weapons for their greater use in pvp, not for RP reasons.
