Should we get Diffrent types of civillian guns?

[Dab]

Night, you're looking at civilians in the wrong way.. Megacorporations ARE civilian corporations. They are civilians. Civilians aren't just the tiny people in Starfliers..

Unless a Megacorporation is specifically contracted by a military to design a certain weapon, anything they do make they are allowed to patent, manufacture, and distribute. They are a civilian organization, and can sell anything they make to civilians, militaries, etc.

A little guy in a starflier doesn't have to be responsible for manufacturing the guns.. They megacorporations design and make it, then the little guys buy it from there. The Megacorporations would also use their weaponry on escort ships. Look at today's world.. All weapon production is handled by civilian corporations. And only a small percentage of the weapons today are reserved for the military. A civilian could get his hands on an AK-47, an M16, a G36C, etc. Now take into account that Sirius has a load more weapon-related freedom, and a huge weapon market, and is it really hard to believe civilians being able to get a hold of weapons that are as good as military guns?


Currently you want the Flashpoints to be worse than faction weaponry.. But now the Flashpoints are never used. I myself have never seen someone use a flashpoint except one time, and they sold it after one fight and fit faction guns instead, even though they were a transport escort. Simply because the Flashpoints aren't worth keeping. We should be balancing them in a way that improves gameplay for everyone. Currently, all we've done with the Flashpoints is make yet another unused weapon. Is it better to be on-par with faction weapons, or never used?
