Do you think pirate power should equal lawfuls or should lawfuls have more in FL..?

[Xing]

in my opinion, lawful should always be superior to unlawful. The outcasts should be the crime empire nearing closest to house power (with house Liberty and house Rheinland as the two military superpowers).

Unlawful, to survive the superior techs of the lawful forces, rely on stealth, guerilla and backstabs. Economically, they arent powerful, neither is their tech very good, their population must probably be scarce and dispersed.
Large ships for unlawful forces as such, is useless and hindering to their cause.

Exceptions remains however;
-Outcasts: The greatest crime empire ever, locked in a feud with the Corsairs, outcasts have an alien narcotic which boosts its economic machine a thousand fold of what would otherwise by a planet as poor as Crete probably. Plus, this same narcotic seems to transform them into evolved humans, which, while maintain them chained to their homeplanet, make them formidable fighters and thinkers. Their tech has probably evolved in a different method than standard human method research (not necesarly more powerful, but different for sure).
They as well, might be the only faction which would want capital fleet to protect their homeworld from the GMG and Corsairs; no need for battleships, but destroyers would make them the suprematic pirate/mafia faction.

-The Order: not really an exception. Research on alien tech does not necesarly mean super high tech. And they should have only one capital ship, the Osiris, a stolen model. And potentially defected warships from all Sirius, making them a diverse fleet sharing many technologies from all Sirius.

-Corsairs: they are the "Spartans" of space, a race of ruthless murderering pirates, composed only of the elite, those who survived their trial. Their wish to aquire capital class warships would come from the outcast feud war, and for this, they might simply hijack lawful crafts. I'd have suggested slightly modified bretonian destroyers for instance, with modified texture to make them appear damaged and all. Seeing their savage nature, they wont have too much trouble against one, perhaps a battleship wouldnt even be too hard.

All in all, to say disco isnt representative of a realistic universe of FL. no priates shouldnt access to same weaponnery as lawful, but to compensate, they could have more advantages fighter-wise (more regen, more armor for instance)
