For his Proposal, think Starlancer weapons.

' Wrote:Mkay, to clarify: If everyone uses their factionalized weapons, we are still on the same footing. well, that footing is utterly terrible for the FLashpoint user, so we use Vengeances, Splitters, Sunfrenzies, ETC. Well, your opponents are 10% better now.
' Wrote:Who said that civilian weapons wouldn't be boosted when used with factions who use them as well?Reading is a powerful concept, you should try it some time. Your own weapons would be boosted, so you wouldn't need to use anything else. You'd get the 10% just like everyone else, even if Flashpoints are weaker than every other gun at the moment.

Fakshunalized Weponz - Elsdragon - 11-27-2009
Yes. I read. Civillian weapons, even when boosted with the rest by the same amount, to pardon my brevity, suck. And when those corperate factions use a diffrent gun, all their opponents are boosted 10%.

That sounds oddly ...appitizing.
Quote: Next we'll be making all ships have the same stats as well?Starlancer, think it. what he means to apply would be similar to the starlancer weapons system. Well, ships woudltn have fixed guns......
Fakshunalized Weponz - tansytansey - 11-27-2009
ooh, I got you now. Sorry, I misunderstood what you said before. None the less, the same would apply to every other faction any way, for example a Liberty Rogue could use Krakens, but they would suffer a 10% penalty. Flashpoints are due for a boost any way. If they were buffed up to current standard then there wouldn't really be a problem.
I don't remember Starlancer's weapon system that well. Isn't it fixed weapons and customizable missiles? That makes things kinda limited in regards to customization.
Fakshunalized Weponz - Elsdragon - 11-27-2009
Meh, true. this would be like Starlancer with everything customizable but combines gun and Missle slots. THe part I was calling attention too was the fact that erveryone In Starlancer had the same weapons at their disposal, There was No "alliance" or "Coalition" gun.
Fakshunalized Weponz - tansytansey - 11-27-2009
That's just boring.
Fakshunalized Weponz - Elsdragon - 11-27-2009
But there were a bunch of awesome cannons that were perfecly balanced yet diffrent!
One
Two
Fakshunalized Weponz - tansytansey - 11-27-2009
Personally, I value Freelancer's diversity. In a world where everyone has access to the same guns, it won't be long until the 'best' of the lot is determined and used indefinitely, making all other weapons redundant. So in the end, what we have is a mod where everyone uses the same weapon, save a few people. Well, if that's what you really want then it's possible without ruining the diversity that some of us prefer, just remove the rule and everyone will grab the best weapons in the game, save a few people.
Fakshunalized Weponz - Elsdragon - 11-27-2009
Cept the guns In Starlancer were balanced enough that any one wasnt better than the others, they simply did difrent things better. Honestly, enforced diversity isnt good for people utterly screwed by their cannons, Like the GMG.

A very simple solution to all of this is:
Everyone stops whining about what they've been given, just takes it, and locks and loads.
I've never once complained seriously about Trefoils, (the Molly class nine) which aren't known for being very good weapons. PvP is incredibly second to RP.
I would that everyone else follow this example I hope I've set.
