Corsairs and Civi Tech

[Dab]

Because every other faction in the game has them.

Isn't this argument even more baseless than 'They have Cids' as a reason for them not to have Debs? Perhaps if you were able to come up with a legitimate reason as to why Corsairs SHOULD have Debs you may get somewhere. The issue here isn't why they shouldn't, but why they should, and a sufficient answer to that question hasn't been given.

And Dab, a Nephthys has the same power plant as the Titan, as well as access to Cids, so, wouldst your argument be just as valid in removing civilian line kit from the Order?

The Order doesn't have a viable alternative for a shield killer. The only shield killers in the game are the SCRA ones, Gallic ones, Corsair Cids, and the civilian Debs. Order can't use SCRA ones, or Gallic, and Corsair Cids is a little OORP for the Order. That leaves the Debs. If someone were to make an Order-specific shieldkiller line, I'd be more than happy. However, since they haven't done so yet, the Order doesn't have the luxury of two different shield killers. Corsairs have two of their own Cids, Coladas and Tizonas. They currently have the largest choice in shield killers, above any other faction. Before you said 'because every other faction in the game has them.' Well first, this isn't true. Not every faction besides Corsairs can use Debs. Gallic factions for one. Second, if you wish to use that argument, then why shouldn't every faction in the game get two shield killers to chose from, since the Corsairs do? Why shouldn't there be a 600 and 700ms projectile speed version of the Debs, since the other factions have syncing Debs? That's not a legitimate reason to justify the Corsairs getting a third shieldkiller made available to them, especially when their RP says that using non-Corsair technology is OORP.


Personally I haven't seen a reason so far to justify the Corsairs getting Debs. 'Everyone else has one' is an argument that holds no weight, no matter what situation you are in. Games and the real world.
