Superior Phantom ships/weapons

[bluntpencil2001]

Actually i'm signing with Jihad Joe here.
Yes i am an admin.

No i don't have a phantom.

But, if the role play, written hard into the background of a faction says they have scarier weapons, then give them scarier weapons. So they are harder for people to beat in pvp, big deal, they're supposed to be harder to beat in pvp. Role play it - this is a Role play server.
I lose pretty much every pvp encounter i get into - because i suck at pvp - and after admitting this fact, and reminding myself WHY i came to disco in the first place (role play) PVP = you win, i lose, big deal? Is my ego SO fragile that when my collection of 1's and zero's is beaten by someone elses collection of 1's and Zeros on a computer game i have to throw a tantrum about it?

I did throw these tantrums in the past, i used to be a whinger - ask treewyrm about about some of the flame threads i started on the nomads (and yes, i think they should have better weapons as well). Point is, its this kind of mentality that leads to:

A: delays in mods being released.
B: Flaming on the forums.
C: Vindictive santion reports.
D: Angry people and insults.
Remind yourselves what we value on this server, It isnt how good you are at shooting the other player.
I know some folks wont agree with me here, but to me, if a special faction has some perks, its a non issue. If another faction does not have said perks, you Role play that as a fact not cry "unfair" and jump up and down.
This by the way is my opinion as a player here - not an admin, i should probably say that.

The problem here is that they are imported. If we that run the Coalition faction said our guns were made from fairy dust and were more destructive than Superman when he's angry, we'd be told to jog on because it's unfair, and rightly so.

Sure, say they're better in rumours relating to them, but don't amp them up. Surely the LSF, and all the armed forces would have their own secret weapons too? Hell, Rheinland had cloaks in SP. So did the Order. The Order, who beat the Nomads, in spite of being outnumbered, and who don't get better guns.

If one faction gets boosted, the others will want the same, and rightly so. The Corsairs are apparently the best shipbuilders in Sirius, after all.
