Standardize Weaponry

[Daedric]

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.

I'm pretty sure I said that the ships would need to be adjusted. Who says they have to be equalized? I don't see how you think they are flying the same ship and using the same guns. Oh, wait. You think that for something to be different it needs to be better or worse than something else right?

I never said they tried to make their technology equal to their opponents. I said they use their opponents technology to improve upon their own. Why is there no need? Because you like things the way they are? Tad selfish si?

I'm not saying there is a need. I'm saying it is an option, an option that a developer presented before. If the developer didn't feel there was any merit in the idea he wouldn't have mentioned it.

There wasn't a need to make the change to cap ship weapons that was made, but it was made. You see my point? As you said, no one gets anywhere until someone tries something new.
