Illegal loadouts

I draw the line at making stories to justify PvP superiority as opposed to making stories as they flow that just so happen to end up in PvP superiority (see Wesley Richter, best example yet).
As for the Hephaestus comment, Hephaestus was the Greek god of the forge. Make sense now? Edison Trent hacks. (No offense, Fletcher. :P)
The fact that you view debbies as "squirtguns" has no influence on their usefulness, Tizonas are super-soakers by comparison and rip of shields faster than you can go "tizzies are overpowered", leaving your hull free to get ripped on by hullbusters, cannonballs, mini razors... you'll learn their usefulness, even one becomes a leading edge. (EDIT: Note, I have no issues with the balance of said weapons, the Corsairs need it to make up for their sub-par ships. When the Outcasts, with phenomenal ships, use them, its a bit more of an issue.)
I'm not happy about the codes either, but eh, they aren't broken to hell and they don't scream one particular faction like "Outcast Particle Cannon" or "Corsair Pulse Cannon" do. Whatevhs, my faction guns outpower your codes for a fraction of the price.

I do agree with you on facton weapons / equipment.. Most all factions have been balanced in one form or another to be mostly equal to other factions.... That is the way it should, to help discourage OORP ships / equipment usage.

However, my question is still not answered. Why are certain players allowed OORP equipment while others are sanctioned?

PS. Thank you for everyones effort to help me understand the role play......
