Scrap price dropped in Inverness

[Rudo]

The Zoner ship for sale in the Junker station was a mistake in the first place, as was the decision to sell Zoner gunboats to the open market. Why should Zoners, unlike all other factions, sell their warships to Freelancers and Junkers alike?

Now the gunboat is taken off, it's just that in terms of game mechanics it hasn't been removed from the Junker base. So that's no excuse for whining "BUT TEH ZONERS HAS GB IN OUR STATION WHY CANT WE FLY EET".

I realise that this is just a rant about Junkers are too much nerfed in disguise. Tough, deal with it. It fits your RP, Junker make their weapons and ships from recycled rubbish, don't expect them to be the best stuff in the game, if you joined Junkers for tech usage and ZOI, then you're doing it wrong.

I'm tired of that last segment being used as an argument for keeping Junker tech down. The junkers deal in scrap, they don't live in it. Junker ships are more like multipurpose craft, guerilla tools that are combat-capable at a moment's notice while looking like standard salvage kit to the untrained eye. If roleplay dictated game balance, more factions than junkers would have extremely subpar ships and equipment.

If anyone should be stuck with subpar guns and ships that are cobbled together and made of garbage and prayers it's the Xenos. And we all know how their garbage and prayers fare in combat, because they need to bethat good for game balance purposes.

I agree with everything else you said, but junkers are just pragmatic and sneaky. Not garbage-eating sewer rats.
