Damn do I want Neut III's. I'm starting to feel discriminated against. All other factions can have what I have, but I can't have what all other factions have!!

Damn do I want a frigate. I'm starting to feel discriminated against. Someone else can have what I have, but I can't have what somebody else might have!

Last I checked you can fly to Itani/Serco space and purchase them there, depending on who won last time. If you killed your rating for both nations, well, maybe you should not have. You also should have considered that two warring nations are going to develop better weapons.

For real? Ok, I'll go check as soon as my girlfriend isn't looking :P

I think Itani won last week so checking there would most likely have it.

Nah, I think UIT still aren't able to get em, even if they do have good standing with both nations.

I think it is problematic, since it makes UIT into much less of an entity. This game is quite often about being a fighter pilot, and its a big disadvantage.

UIT start off with 200 faction in a bunch of corporations, but, faction is REALLY easy to come by now, so that really doesn't mean as much. I think for it actually to be fair, UIT should start off with admire at every UIT space corporation.

Yeah uit can't get them.... It's nation only not faction dependant.

Yeah but that really doesn't do anything either... after a month of playing, anyone can be admired with whoever they chose. That works for noobs, but not for anyone who is going to play this game fore longer than a month.

Anyone who is UIT will then still be at a disadvantage (as far as Neut 3's are concerned).

And Suicidal, me and Martin checked out the situation. No Neut III's... and Martin is admired. We checked a wide range of stations in a couple of systems.

No go.

Well then, guess you shouldn't have picked the trade-oriented nation. You start with the ability to go anywhere in the galaxy, and the tradeoff is not being able to get every piece of military hardware each nation produces.

In other words, Tough Bots.

cmon tish, wouldn't it be cool to have 3 REAL nations?
Mar 06, 2005 ctishman link
The UIT is, and I quote from the nation-selection screen:

"...a loosely knit union of corporations, merchants and explorers clinging to life in deep space." (emphasis mine)

In other words, cool as it would be, it isn't. If a character feels discriminated against in the areas of military stuff to play with, it's his own damn fault.

However, I'm not against giving UIT players more to do. Bringing the racing sectors back would be a start. Racing AND trade wars AND spying on the nations would be simply badass.

Aye, and on that note, I want a 1000 pk medal >.> <.<..... :P

I don't care about them.
This way I can say that I got beaten up only because my opponent has that stupid gun. :P

I see it as a handicap. That's right. I've given up N3 to give you all a fair chance.

Heck, who am I kidding? I can't even shoot blasters at anything. =)

Ctishman,

In all fairness, I got the feeling from the back story that the UIT were one of the reasons arms managed to get to the serco, and considering that some of the best dogfighters come form the UIT.....

AND, it never said when I was choosing UIT....YOU WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME LEVEL OF WEAPONRY THAT THE OTHER TWO NATIONS DO.

Neway, all I'm saying is that for the fairness of play to be there... I would really, really, really like to see Neut 3's availabe to UIT somehow. Seems like it would be a fairly simple thing to do.

No need to shout gavan, but ctishman's point is very valid, and i [quote] a dev *UIT are not really even a real nation* [/quote]they dont even own all the stations in the UIT space threshold, and its the easest *faction* space to pirate in besides Grey, it even has tottaly unmonitored worm hole sectors a pirate can happily sit at and shoot stuff, and not even get faction hit (incomplete millitary i suppose)

/me looks at Incarnate and says *Didnt you say something about writing a UIT history?*

Solution is simple; Sell everything at Corvus for a (rather large) price, although ideally i'd like to see the game change so that we can actually sell ships, weapons, batteries, etc.. to the Corvus stations, but you can only purchase whatever is currently in stock..

Hehe, sorry, wasn't yelling. Just over emphasizing. Ok, I'll rephrase my whining.

I would like a weapon that is comparable to the neut 3 (and I know about the axia-posi, not quite in the same league imo).
