Basically, for a VHF, you have 8-9 choices. 6 gun slots, possible turret, CD/torp, mine. Thrusters are always the same, shields...well, unless the old "pulses vs graviton" thing was fixed, there's not much choice there, armour is always MK 8 universal. Only people with a "defensive" option are Outcasts (Cheetah thruster), most variations are on the offensive side.
yea, if you actually wanna go full RP most people dont usually have much of any choice. they have to go with the highest mk of the factions weapons. the main exception would be shield busting guns where the corsairs have to pick how many coladas or tizonas and everyone else does the same with debs. if this were a more PvP focused server then there would be more to look at with all faction type guns being available to everyone.
