... Yes. It gets rather tiresome seeing LSF and SA spanking the Order with an Order gun... Like, say... The Nova. Last time I saw one, his excuse for being in Minor was, "Just passing through". Who the F*rill*... Frill... "Just passes through" enemy territory?
Who docks on Isis and gets stuck inside with a Liberty Battlecruiser?... Technically they should have fixed their rep to suck with the Order. But they use Armor upgrades and weapons bought from "Just passing through".
I dislike the common misconception of "It's a FREE PORT, I buy want I want." That doesn't make the weapon RP any less teh suck. For instance; the Liberty factions preach, "Don't use pirate/enemy weapons."
... And guess what happens? Oh, sorry... I found this Azreal in a Freeport... That's okay, right? I bought it off of a Liberty Rogue who was just passing through. We sat down, had a cup of tea, and negotiated the price. What a wonderful man. I'm glad I didn't shackle him and do my job. OH THE BEAUTY OF FREEPORTS! *frolicks through meadows on Manhattan*
... No.
As for the Nomad cannons... I have found a rapid-firing alternative that deals the same damage for little-to-no power drain. With a high fire rate, it deals about the same damage as a cannon. But I'll not disclose that, so as not to create a new pwn trend. I don't know why everybody loves them so. Energy hogs, slow fire rate, only 500 damage... Ish. 700 for a cannon...
But I only see this because of... My new equivalent! Bwah! Bwah ha... Preposterous.
