The black market!

Avalons should be buyable in sector 18 only. Ammo + launchers.

I've read a while ago a thread which stated the black market as the problem of the nation blace issue.
It was meantioned how easy it was to get there...
There is a fairly easy solution for that issue. Just put deferent special ships in the black market.
What i meen is that if a Serco or Nutral goes to the black market to buy a valk, it wont be the valk that the Itani can buy at their home station. For instance, make it have one less S-port, or less ammo (since it was taken in an attack on the facility which creats them and was damaged or so).
The balance between the nations must be in deference!
The ships where on the spot all the time, that they must be deferent...But, the weapons should be deferent also. A nation which is supossed to specilize in bomming (Serco) should have access to heavy weaponary which the other nations dont have.
A nation which specilizes as small fighters (Itani) should have access to mighty S-port weapons which require acurecy (like the rail gun but better).
And a nation which is supossed to specilize in trading (guess which:) ) should have access to high speed engines and batteries which the other nations cant get.

There is a hole lot of deferences which you can create to make the nations balanced.

Another idea which just poped into my mind is to give access to some secret sectors only to a specific nation. Those are sectors which are like all the secret sectors (14-18) but only one nation can get into it and buy it's special weapons and ships.

cheers :)
