We need to be able to have characters RP as a faction and be able to use that factions weapons against ANY target, be it NPC or player.
At the moment everyone uses codename, nomad, chainguns and corsair shield-busters because "the weapons, of the faction I'm aligned to, suck" the only exceptions are the outcasts and corsairs.
If you use similar loadouts as the NPCs do you can only kill NPC transports, freighters and fighters, you'll get creamed by anything bigger and as for taking on any player ship, thats suicide.

I agree. We need weapons with the same fire power in every NPC faction. That way we get a more spread use of all weapons.
I also think that NPC BS should have shields. They are like eye-candy toys right now. They are there just to scare newbs and entertain more experienced pilots.
