The Order - Future Direction

[Tenacity]

On fighting nomads:
Right now some Nomad ships and all guns are significantly better than Order/rest of sirius because:
a) nomads are "supposed" to be better
b) everyone ganks nomads (Order/BHG/Zoner cap swarms mostly)

The result is that it makes no sense to fight nomads unless you have a much larger group (cause and effect?). So Order never goes to Nomad systems cause they would need 30 ships (both because of players and NPCs).
Provided Order faction membership gets somehow restricted, I'd move the Nomad stuff (specially some), closer to normal Sirius level.

Oh no you dont, there's no reason to change nomad equipment - it's the order equipment that needs changing, primarily in the form of higher projectile speed (700, even) so that we can at least hit the nomad ships. Right now, order weapons are in the "slow" category at 600m/s - even the bhg faction guns are 750, nomad guns are 700. Compile that with our larger, slower ships, and you begin to understand why the order doesnt stand much of a chance in battle against the nomads.

There's no reason the order's fighter weaponry cannot be rebalanced for higher projectile speed, at least matching the 700m/s of the nomad weapons.
