Corsairs and Civi Tech

[McNeo]

I've come up with several.

The answer no one has supplied yet is why Corsairs -should- use them.

There is a reason for this.
By the way, are we going by 'Innocent until proven guilty' or 'Guilty until proven innocent'? The first is 'why shouldn't the corsairs have it?' and the second is 'why should the corsairs have it?'.

The reason the Outcasts 'needs' the deb is this:

"We need a gun mounted shield buster because not all of us want to use a torp mounted one"

The Corsair version of this is:

"We need a 650/750ms shield busting gun because not all of us want to use a 600ms version"

You know, if I wanted to use civvie shield busters on my Corsair, I would.
It was even majkp who started the trend, though it was Zelot who took the sanction.
To be honest, the restriction was born out of bad blood in the RoS-TBH battles when the Corsairs started winning. To claim that there's an actually credible reason for this restriction? Bollocks, I'm afraid. I was there when it was made, and I know what caused its inception. Any resistance to it was also shouted down at the time, by the way.

And yes, with these things, I have a long memory and a penchant for holding grudges.

I'm sorry, but there are entirely too many people going "out of the norm" for their factions. Look at your fricking npc's, do they use civilian equipment? No, they use what their own faction provides.

Don't bungle on about NPC loadouts when you know that Order NPCs do not use Nomad blasters and cannons.

The grass isnt any greener on the other side of that fence, open your eyes and see it.

This is not the point of the complaint. The point is 'why does everyone else have access to them except the Corsairs?' - especially when you consider that this particular rule was born out of spite rather than a real neccessity.
And trust me, in certain cases? Oh yes it is. You try effectively employing a light fighter guns only (eliminating the risk of insta-ing yourself) without 750ms guns, I guarantee you its easier than with 600ms guns. Shots need to count in LFs, damage isn't an issue as long as you can drop the shields.
