Should we get Diffrent types of civillian guns?

[Benjamin]

Every single member of the Liberty Rogues uses Sammaels, an 8.33 weapon. Most lawfuls in Liberty use Vengances. Sirius-wide 8.33 weapons may not be as popular, but your statement is grossly over exaggerated, because many factions don't have access to alternatives.

Yeah, thanks for proving my point for me?

Liberty Rogues fighters use Sammaels because that is their faction gun. It is an 8.33 laser.
Corporation fighters use Flashpoints because that is their faction gun. It is an 8.33 laser.

The Sammael does 265 damage per shot, the Flashpoint does 204.

Even the worst corporation is so massively richer, and has so much more access to technology, than the Liberty Rogues.

We could go back and forth all day here, but tell me why does it make sense for a generic, civilian gun be equal to or better than other faction weapons? Personally I think they should all be worse, including ships, to encourage people to use their factions equipment rather than opting for Civilian Tech because it pew pews better.

Flashpoints are the faction weapon for SIXTEEN factions. And you want to make them rubbish so that factions use their own weapons? Well that makes a whole lot of sense.

Flashpoints should be the most common guns around, but for really no defensible reason they have been crippled in to obscurity. Eyvind and I are the only people I've seen with them.

People that don't want to use roleplay loadouts will find ways around it. Making flashpoints really bad is PROMOTING that, since flashpoints should be the weapons that sixteen factions, not to mention freelancers and mercenaries and vigilantes, use. That's nineteen IDs breaking roleplay just so that whatever faction you want to use its faction guns isn't tempted to use flashpoints.

Nonsense, seriously.
