The Order - Future Direction

[Tenacity]

about the last post you made.... no - when all the mod is balanced ( or at least mostly balanced ) - but only one faction stands out. - the way to go is not to bring another faction to that level - but to bring the faction that stands out closer to the rest. - the calculation that a faction that is "supposed" to be better gets better gear - DOES NOT WORK.

Sure it does. Nomads are to be feared - by everyone. Regardless, the only true advantage nomad weapons have at the moment (at least for fighters) is the 700m/s speed. Efficiency aside they're comparable to most other sirius faction weapons, slightly better than most but with good reason.

Nomad capital ship weapons are (in all cases except for the cruiser guns) significantly more powerful than their sirius counterparts, but on the flip side nomads cannot use pulse turrets, mortars, razors, cerberus guns, solaris turrets, or any other 'specialized' capship weapons - all they have is their normal nomad turrets. No issue there IMO (again, other than the fact that the nomad cruiser guns need serious buffing).

The nomad assassin is one of the largest VHF's in sirius, quite easy to hit which is why most of us prefer using the light fighter to survive the ganksquads. Our bomber is in no way different than any sirius light bomber, same relative hull strength, same gun power, same number of hardpoints - the only difference is that we have no bomber EMP cannons, making our weaponry excepting the snac pretty useless.

Regardless, you're getting off topic - this thread is about the order, not about sirius wide balancing. As I said above, the only change needed to order balance at the moment is faster guns, so that we can hit the significantly faster enemies we're facing.
