Standardize Weaponry

[Daedric]

Not sure why this is true. Codename weapons are still available to everyone, and they can still do more damage (presumably) than your proposed standard weapons. What's wrong with that?

If standard civilian weaponry does the same as normal faction weaponry I doubt people would buy code name weaponry. If code name weaponry is left with stats making it better than all other weaponry, the weapons dealers will see a sharp rise in business. Do we leave it like that or do we standardize code names too? Thus removing their 'special factor' and merely making them another civilian weapon?

It does severely limit though. Do I choose particles or neutron? Do I choose efficiency or dps? Do I want low speed guns or high speed guns?

With your suggested changes it would be more like: Do I want the purple gun or the green gun? Do I want 2.00 or 4.00 (cause other speeds are just weird)?
I would prefer every faction with one gun getting an additional weapon to mix things up.

No one is stopping you from using another factions weaponry. If a cell is white to your ID you can still request the guns for whatever reason. The only difference would be that its purely for role play and not for the PvP advantage.

This in no way limits diversity. It in facts increases the diversity as each and every weapon type would have a version of each refire type. Meaning more weapons for each faction. Some factions already have multiple guns to their names though.

Then there is always the fact that weapons would still do more or less damage depending on the shield type of your enemy, thus particle, neutron, laser etc are still factors, right?

Edit: I'm thinking I need to talk to Mjolnor or another PvP expert. Might be more complicated than I think it is.
