Also, I'd be happy if you showed me in the rules where it says that this ship is restricted.
I'd be happy if anyone could show me in the rules where it says that civilian guns are restricted... Oh look, that isn't there either.
I do not like the black market arguement one bit, honestly. Its the results that bug me more than anything else, when I see Outcasts fighting Corsairs, both flying the same ship, as both legally can. I have to accept it, because what else can I do?
Technically, the Xenos cannot afford Eagles or Civilian bombers. They can only afford hawks and the odd falcon and blazer. But here's the thing. The RP is bent in a way to make it fair for the Xenos so they can at least defend themselves when the uber capzorz come waltzing down aisle one, gunning for Ouray or Barrow. I do not think that this should be bent anymore to allow anything other than the Eagle and Civilian bomber. Also, I think we can all agree that the RT doesn't really convey a "Xeno feel" to it.
"Its sold on a Zoner base" doesn't really work either, as a lot of things are sold on a Zoner base. Can a Corsair or Outcast use an Eagle because its sold on a Zoner base? I wouldn't think so unless there was an RP reason for it.
The IMG arguement is okay though, and in the spirit of compromise, a few RTs for the upper echelons of Xeno leadership may be available. It would not be mainstream though, as Liberty may view this as the IMG supplying their enemy and take appropriate action to purge the IMG in their zone of influence. Like the IMG hasn't got enough problems already, with Outcasts and the Kusari/Bretonia war.
