Weapon Compatibility Liberty Eagle

[Wolf_Craftsman]

Hey there, and welcome to Discovery.
Your tech compatability always depends on your ID. You can find your ID oon another page of your inventory. You most likely use the Freelancer ID, which does not allow military grade weapons or faction-specific weapons.
You want to use civilian weapons. A few examples are: Flashpoints, Debiliators, Purple Goddess Chainguns and Moonblasters. Those should work well with any ID.
But you can also change your ID to fit a ship/weapons you like. E.g. Liberty Navy for Liberty guns. Just make sure you read your ID lines, they are the guidelines for what you can do.
I hope that helped. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.

That actually did help. I hadn't realized that some weapons would be faction specific until you pointed that out. Still used to rep based purchase issues from BitD, I guess. And I did notice, on a second look, that if you buy an incompatible weapon you get the full retail value back when selling it back to the dealer, so I didn't actually lose any money in this.

I am a little unclear on the part about editing your ID for different weapons, though; are you saying I could tag myself as Liberty Navy, buy and mount military weapons on my ship, and then revert to a Freelancer ID and retain those weapons? Could you walk me through a bit of that when you have a moment?
