"Elite factions"

[Athenian]

Those factions that have/don't have overpowered stuff have/don't have that stuff because of the mod's developers. (The Don't Blame Me Answer)

I'm sure individual cases can be discussed constructively in the balance sub forum. (The Reasonable Deflection Answer)

They are the people who brought you the Tridente and the Legate also (which are overpowered if you face one but not if you are in one). And the Kusari Destroyer and the old Red Catamaran and the 4.84 BHG gunship (sniff) etc... so this thing of letting overpowered stuff out there appears to be a habit they are finding difficult to break. (The Bigger Picture Answer)

Thankfully only a few players have access to these incredible weapons and ships thanks to these faction's incredibly elitist and restrictive recruitment process and the fact that we see them every Friday night down the pub, and invariably hold them to account over their PvP whoring by denying them peanuts with their beer. (The Bias Exists And Is Worse Than You Think Answer)

Take your pick.
