Black Market Weaponry

[Huhuh]

So you tired of waterguns?

How about we introduce illegal weapons that ..... wait for it ....... deal damage!

They'd be available to all generic ID players just like civi weapons, except that cops can arrest you for using them.

I think it would be great for indie pirates and unlawful mercs to have some decent weaponry to play around with.

We could even give a few guys SRP's to deal the weapons so that not every man and his dog can do it. It would also give new opportunities for the police factions to RP with people.

Discuss.

I'm willing to do so with GMG weapons. There's the tiny matter of the tech chart though..... but the infocards of GMG guns are already set.

for example:

CB-120 GMG Gunboat Turret

A gunboat turret produced by the Gas Miners Guild. This weapon is frequently used to equip civilian and pirate capital ships belonging to different factions and is widely available on the black market.

Its actually a interestying idea, but if its marked as contraband, be prepared to engage any NPC police ship because when they ask to drop the stuff, you cant drop equiped items. That includes guns. I remember on Tekagis we had a plasma gun or something like that, and it supposedly leaked radiation, so it was illegal. Man, those police chases were fun.

In any case, its a interesting concept. Lets see where it goes.

signature goes here once its done!

Just make it so the guns are contraband to players only. NPC's are too dumb to enforce laws.

The NPCs are coded to only peer in Cargo anyways so they won't be stopping you for equipped items.

This is the same idea I've had in mind for some time now.
I'm all for it.

I mean why wouldn't there be black market weapons?

With so many criminals about, there should be a black market.

Doesn't stop players from stopping you.

Doesn't stop players from stopping you.

Which is what we want.

Edit: Stroke of genius, cops can order the crim to sit still while he shoots his guns off!

I know.
That's what I was getting at.

I'm all for a generic criminal weapon range. Sounds good.

Actually all Borderworlds factions should be able to steal some guns / fighter from. With proper RP, of course. That's why white cells exist.
