A few words in Skype, just change the infocards on some CODENAMES.
I mean the DIAMONDBACK looks and FEELS like a miniature Liberty Cruiser gun, which is lets face it a super gun.
So what if some CODENAMES where special faction research projects?
I mean every faction has some sort of, overpowered 'executioner' that is given the best kit.
So what if the CODENAMES or new 'specials' were given faction driven infocards or history to put new weapons in.
e.g. The Liberty Navy attempted to make some sort of new high firepower to energy ration weapon that would ensure the safety of Liberty. The Liberty Cruiser manufacturers were tasked with miniaturizing their weapon for their fighter fleet.
The DIAMONDBACK looked like a mini Liberty Cruiser supergun.
I think the Hammerfall 'sounds' like a mini Solaris.
Maybe we could re-tool the CODENAMES to become faction friendly without deleting...
