The Dreaded "Do Sairs Need Guns" Argument, Hosted by Rodnas & Silver

[aerelm]

What concerns me is when people (especially if it is a balance team member) make such invalid comparisons as you could see with the 3 second performance.

The 3 secs performance is more of an invalid comparison than the 16 secs one. Is there any ship in the mod that can be killed by a fighter in 3 seconds? If the answer was yes, then that comparison would've been valid, but since fighter PvP simply comes down to doing the most damage in a long run until the opponent runs out of regens and dies (Instakill factors aside), comparisons for such short time spans simply doesn't make sense. Of course, no one's denying that Inferno is a better burst gun - Which is why it's a torpedo, while del cids are guns - and as you said, each is suitable for a different situation, however, those numbers were added to show that in a long run Tizonas end up doing more shield damage than Infernos, which is the exact opposite of what some people have claimed.

Not to mention... Corsairs can use Razor paired with Tizonas, Casts can't do the same with Inferno.

use oorp guns

As already brought up not so long ago in another thread, balance team is not responsible for how factions decide to play their chars. Balance-wise, your options are open and you have access to a variety of guns which fit the general line of what you're requesting. If the majority of Corsair players are unhappy with how their lore is working out ingame, gather a list of problematic infocards and file an official request, asking the story team to remove those "Doesnt use any gun but Sala/Tiz" references from rumos and whatnot, so then you can go on actually playing the game without feeling guilty about being a "lolwut".

I'm sorry but it's not our responsibility to give people more and more toys of their own just because they decide not to play with anything else. Times change, and so do people. Just because there's a rumor somewhere saying how 600 years ago Corsairs didn't use anything but Salas, doesn't mean that's still the case nowadays. Corsairs don't need new guns, they just need a more flexible roleplay.
