I fully support the idea of faction specific equipment suited to their RP, great thread
Heheh, Alex, gotta read up on our GMG lore some more and see the overall picture of them. It's the largest, oldest and most consolidated of the three guilds even predating many of the Vanilla factions in Sirius. Our removal of Disco-added caps was based on the RP of them being ill-suited for our clouds and isn't reflective on the GMG's size. It's those sensor dampening clouds, however, that should be the focus of GMG technology. Either a sensor that helps us negate the sensor dampening effect or perhaps as Taro said something along the lines of what the BS liscence provides, suitable for those clouds and GMG's explorations and prospecting. Or if not that perhaps shielding better suited to protecting us from our explosive clouds.
A few more suggestions on my mind. BHG would benefit as well with a better scanner as you mentioned or even a much more effective CD (which is something to consider for House Police ID as well). On the flip side I wouldn't mind having more effective CMs for my Gaian or Maquis chars' getaway. You'll find that similar pieces of equipment are suitable for more then one faction.
