Standardize Weaponry

[Cameron]

It starts with weapons... then goes on to ships. If such a thing is implemented then ships will definantly have to be re balanced according to what they face, armour equalised, weapon hard-points, agility.... you see where this is going. Everyone ends up flying the same ship with the same guns even though they look different. It may be "fair" but most people won't like it.

And no, it doesn't make sense. Rival countries look for advantages over their enemies, not ways to make their capabilities equal. They steel each-others stuff to analyse it and either devise a counter or make something that's better in several ways. When opposing forces have the same stuff it causes a stalemate and no-one gets anywhere until someone tries something new (WW1's a good example of this)

Disco is already balanced enough as it is without making everything the same. If there are unbalanced weapons or ships just tweek them a little or give the main opposition something the other doesn't have, there is no need equalise everything.
