Pirate ID and Edge Worlds Tech

[eigos]

Well, I can see where you are coming from. I, myself, like variety. But here is the thing...
If we introduce more weapons, for balance's sake, they would have to be more or less THE SAME in specs. Meaning, their main difference would be their animation, nothing else.
Otherwise, if Pirates have different-specced weapons, people will end up using the most powerful ones and just forget about the rest.
So, once again, they would end up with virtually the same limited choice!

Factions, on the other hand, have different specs on their weapons, with smaller factions having more powerful weapons, to compensate for the lack of manpower and system ZOI restrictions.
Example - Xenos, Bundschuh. They have a small ZOI, limited ships and low population, so they get powerful weapons (generally speaking).

Pirate ID is generic, on the other hand. Limitless ZOI, free-roaming, plundering and shooting pretty much anything, including other pirates.
So thats why, they get limited weapons. If they got lots of variety, they would still use the most powerful choice, for PvP's sake.
And you can see where this is going.


SOLUTION: get friendly with a faction, SRP a request for their guns and make your character work for you.
