It's the pie-rats!

Example #2: Pirate ID with Freelancer IFF ... can have Outcast AND Corsair guns so long as they received permission from both Outcast and Corsair to use them. Will this happen? Dunno ... but it CAN happen.

Sorry mate,very wrong here. Admins have said so in the past. NO RIVAL FACTION GUNS ON ANY SHIP,FOR ANY REASON.

Do you read and let things soak in or just immediately say "you're wrong" ... cause you didn't get my point.

What I said was an indie can (IN THEORY ... BASED ON THE TECH CHART) have both Outcast and Corsair ship/equipment combinations. But ... and here's the tricky part ... you must have permission from both the Outcast (for their ship/equipment) AND the Corsair (for their ship/equipment) to be able to use them. When either Outcast or Corsair faction leadership find out that you intend to mount their rival factions stuff and mix it with theirs ... your chances of actually getting both are minimal to non-existent.

Now ... lets talk about mixing and matching rival stuff for a moment here shall we? I know for a fact ... and have snapshots for evidence ... that there's an [LN] faction member flying around New York (and other parts of Liberty) with an Order fighter mounted with a Liberty Navy ID and mixed equipment. I was aboard my Order character and pointed this out and apparently there's some role play behind it. I have yet to find anything in the forums on this. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt here that she's allowed to fly Order and Liberty tech combinations due to special role play.

Additionally ... I got to participate in a role play even the other day where a Liberty Siege Cruiser was captured by the Lane Hackers with intent to retrofit the vessel for Lane Hacker use. So ... contrary to your argument here ... you CAN mix and match rival tech. Special role play allows it (with permissions) and so do generic non-aligned characters (with permissions from each rival faction).

Also keep in mind that a Junker is neutral to both Outcast and Corsair ... and can dock and interact with both sides. I know for a fact that Corsair don't like seeing Outcast weapons on a Junker ... first hand experience on this one ... so chances of you getting permission is pretty much non-existent for their tech if you plan to use Outcast stuff as well.

Point is ... there's nothing in writing that I've seen stating you cannot (ever) mount rival tech on the same vessel. I have a Liberty Rogue GB ... and if I get permission from ANY faction displayed in white on the tech chart ... I can mount their stuff. You claim admins won't allow it? Then it needs to be in writing in the tech chart. I haven't seen it in writing.


EDIT: Just an aside here. If you're gonna quote me ... make sure its in a quote box and do NOT edit my text. I've seen a few folks out there quoting me in various forums and they take part of my quote and delete other parts and place "BLAH BLAH BLAH" or whatever in its place. If you don't wanna quote my entire statement, then substitute the part you delete with "..." I do it for others and would like some respect shown to my statements. Taking me out of context and misquoting me is gonna get me fired up ... and I'll make sure to let you know it. (ryoken ... this is not directed at you in particular ... just a general statement).
