Order has limited recources. trouble with funds. BHG is filthy rich and has all kinds off different house engineers on its payrole. next to that, the Core is reverse engeneering Nomad tech. who would have the better means to build a good ship?
just now, I was witness to the BHG caps shortcomings once more. 4 Makos , a Bullhead and a Thresher were obliterated (there is no other word for it) by 2 ossies and a Reseph. not 1 Order ship went down. the Makos had pretty powerfull cap armor upgrades, varying from 6 to 8. now, even the most keyboard challenged ape should have been able to a least kill a single Osiris with that force, despite the fire they took? nope. they went down with a grand totall of zero kills. 1 Ossie was at pixel health.
I won`t even get into the "mount full cerbs" argument.
fact is, BHG weapons are like Meggiddo mentioned, useless. they hold no candle to their direct rivals. no wonder people resort to loadouts that avoid BHG weaponry like the plague (myself included, I`m sad to say)
people like to profess their love for fairplay. but when a serious issue is addressed, and people see that their "enemy faction" asks for a slight buff/de-bugging, all hell brakes loose. it`s not like it is being requested that BHG ships get 5 extra turrents, super agility or a 1000000000 powerplant.
