Dennis: yeah that is one of the big 'gamey' things still left around. Good gear doesn't come from where it would make sense to come from (eg big shipyards, main planets). Setting up corp ships for me involves trips to either or both of Barrier Gate or Gran Canaria (which sells pulse gb turrets btw). An especially difficult trip since it's oorp for corps to use jumpholes ofc (and there are groups that follow that). Sense has bee embraced recently with hellfires etc, but in the main, doesn't it make most sense to have these things most prevalent in house capital systems etc? It's no longer sp vanilla where you get your reward for making the tough trip to omi theta or whatever. Mostly I am sick of going to barrier gate because I'm too dumb to quickdock it, and I'm salty about little nobody factions like LWB having better access to gear than samura etc
Aet: Offtopic. Throw this up as a 4.87 request. Makes sense to have shipyards sell this crap to lawfuls, and we want to end the guard systems anyway.
