Corsairs and Civi Tech

[Zelot]

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.

I would like a lower drain shield buster available to me, especially when using lighter ships. Say I want to fly an eagle, Cids are not the best load out in the given situation. Other factions are given a choice, why not the Corsairs. Outcasts can choose between Debs and the Inferno, can even use both if they want. The Order can use Cids and Debs (will respond to your comment about that later.) So why cant the Corsairs make a similar choice on lower drain vs higher drain? But I guess you are a believer in the separate but equal doctrine. If someone has something they shouldn't be allowed use of the same as everyone else. Like schools, right? If black people have schools of their own, it's ok that they not be let into school with the white kids right?

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.

If you check the tech chart, the Order is white with the Corsairs, and there is currently an agreement for the Order to use the Cid line, so by your rational they now have three shield busters open to them, more than the Corsairs.

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.

Largest choice, yes yes, I belive I disproved that above. As to Gallia, how do you think they would get Sirian guns in rp Dab?

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?

As I pointed out before, many factions have more than one available to them, but to carry on your logic, shouldn't every faction now have an Inferno type shield busting torpedo gun, because the Outcasts get one? You forgot to mention earlier the amazing gunboat shield killing potential of a couple of ships with infernos.

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.

What is this rp you say where Corsairs dont use other peoples tech? Cause as the leader of the oldest sair faction on the server, as you know, I am exceedingly weak when it comes to our rp. Might I point out that most of our advanced technology comes from the Order, and oh yea, we are thieves, we steal technology. I know its hard to see with all the optics and quantum multiplexer factories on Crete.
