Restricting codenames

[Zapp]

*sigh*

This again. Let ol' Zapp throw his opinion in. Do faction guns suck sometimes? Yes. On my LPI, I almost cry when I shoot my 'pea shooters', arguably the worst gun in the game, definitely the worst Laser (it may be out-sucked by Hornvipers). That being said, if you were to ask me: "Zapp, if Liberators could mount codes, would you let the LPI do it?", I would laugh heartily before punching you in the face and calling you a noob.

New BLS guys sometimes ask: "Can you get the armory out, I want some codes." My response? "We don't have an armory, because we use Krakens and Wrms, fly to Ruiz and get some. Noob."

Now, you may ask: "Zapp, do you use codes?" My answer: yes. They have their place. Exactly two (2) of my ships use codes, and exactly one (1) uses Nomads. Why? One is Wesley Richter, who found his code names in (not gonna spoil it for those of you who haven't read it) and hung onto them. The other is NC|Jester, who uses them because he is a Liberty Navy ace, and I even picked sucky codes there on purpose: a Jade, a Blue Blaze, and a Lazurite. My only Nomads are on Vic Chonody's RT, and every inch of that ship is explained in the story.

Really, no change is gonna happen here. Codes are gonna stay on wrecks, people are gonna keep using them, and no class 10 faction guns are going to be implemented (I too tried once). Oh, and the code in Alpha is the Silver Fire, I think, whilst the Cerb is from... Alberta, or the Yukon... Yukon probably. Its the one attached to Cassini.
