Well, well, I mostly agree with Tenacity here. It goes especially with Order equipment, since it does more damage than the others. The problem is with the power of equipment, My faction have these ships...yeah... and these weapons... Oh wait, THAT faction have ship with 10k more hull and the turrent gives 45 more damage! WOW, I'll buy it! <- THAT is the problem.
So it goes like that, Zoners use Order equipment, Rogues use Outcast one, etc, etc... It is kinda annoying you have to admit.
EDIT: To Fowler... Note the sad fact that a LOT of people are missing common sense. And that people rarely keep promises, then especially in games.
I buy things I don't want to make an impression on people I don't like.
