Corsairs and Civi Tech

[Dab]

I have not seen any infocard, or rumor saying the Corsairs wont use other peoples technology, and I do have FLdev, and I have checked. If that were true how do you explain the Corsairs using order tech?

Notice, the Corsairs aren't allowed to use Order tech without permission except the Osiris. This is because the Order gave the Corsairs Osirises before the Corsairs made their own battleship. The NPC patrols were given those Osirises because there was no Corsair BS at the time, if there were the Osiris wouldn't have even been used and there wouldn't be any Corsair - Order tech sharing.

Your whole argument is that we have something better, so why even bother restricting us from something you obviously think is worse?

You have something better and something that is uniquely made for your faction. Using Debs on Corsair ships gives way too much diversity and too much anti-cap power when coupled with the Corsair's ship's abilities. It's a combination of balance issues along with the fact that having a faction have the ability to choose between two different types of weapons when others don't have that ability also has an effect on balance. The other factions have the choice of Debs. Giving the Corsairs a choice between Tizonas, Coladas, and Debs gives them way too much freedom and destroys the balance built into the Del Cid lines. Guns and ships are balanced with each other. Corsair ships and Del Cids were balanced to be used together. Replace the Del Cids with Debs and you've got a result that is completely different from what was planned and makes them too powerful.

Oh, and I think the Developers had something to do with the Order using Corsair guns, as you know, they made us allied.

The Corsair - Order alliance was put into the mod before there even was a dev team. So no, the developers had nothing to do with it.


I've given you several reasons the Corsairs shouldn't be using them. Now show me some reasons they should be using them other than 'everyone else can'.




I'm going to sleep now.
