Illegal loadouts

I am sure that in much the same manner as militaries would grab any enemy technology for study until it could be integrated mainstream, the Bounty Hunters Guild offers a quaint reward for such technology from its members and disallows anyone from taking contracts while in possession of such, since the house militaries and police can't tell where you got it from at first glance and have no reason to trust that you didn't get it from collusion with enemy forces.

Actually, that works with everything. Corsairs will not service a Freelancer or mercenary in a Sabre or with Outcast weapons, even if they have the parts for it. They can't trust that he isn't a spy of some kind, or at the very least probably (although not definitely) is on good terms with them, for all they know any footage or witnesses to them being looted of destroyed Outcasts could be a setup of some kind.




Stick to one side of any fence unless you have a very, very firm grasp of exactly how it works, and why anyone should trust your story. And how you get replacements- with "conventional" equipment you are being supplied a fully new ship by your employer/commanding officer, they tend not to stock anything unusual and won't do so for anyone in particular. With unconventional stuff, where do you get another (for example) Nephyths from on your BAF? They don't keep them on shelves, you know.
