The idea seems helpful in balancing weapons for the factions, but in other hand, in RP each faction developed their guns the way that they are now, Outcasts have the awesome Kraken, corsair the more powerful shield-busters, and more... the point is each kind of tech belongs to each faction. (unless for some miracle the spies on each side manage to steal the tech and start developing all kinds of their own guns)
Really im not seeing this changing so soon, but the idea of having more guns to choose in all factions is somehow interesting,it would balance the scales in the case of the shield-busters for an example. But the point is creating new ones, and not allowing the use of enemy faction guns.
I guess we can go somewhere from here...
PS: and for Mr Edmund, i got to repeat Sindroms, "did you bother to read the first post?".
