New Idea for Corvus Black Market
So I was thinkin. When it comes to those who call grey space home. We are somewhat limited in our choice of weps.
I'm a close range fighter primarily, and I'm not surprised that people don't get within 100 m for a proper dogfight. Against mine, or sputnik's, or any of the vets gausses, a close range fight is suicidal.
However, this has led to a particular problem, that we just don't have the weps to fight a slightly longer distance fight.
For example, I can't hit Ayn Eziert's Orion Rev C at a range of 300 m with gausses, they're too slow, and its just way too fast.
I have to just keep dodging n3's, and HOPE that he makes a mistake that will let my gausses hit.
I attempted switching to rails for this reason, but again, this is still very difficult, especially since I had to keep flares along to ward off close range attacks.
So, what I'm suggesting is to make corvus carry most of the weps in the galaxy. But rather than having the same weps available at lower license levels, I would suggest these weps be slightly worse.
For example: Pirated N3's with no autoaim, or perhaps a little slower, maybe with slightly higher energy usage.
Pirated axias similarly handicapped.
You don't always get the highest quality at a black market, but you should find a large selection.
I would just rather it didn't come down to rails or gausses for me.
This wouldn't take too much programming either. Since you just take the template for a wep, change the name, and slightly change the stats. And as you're making them worse, I wouldn't imagine that this would pose a serious balance prob.
(On the same note, I'd like to see a lot more weps, there's a lot of fun in having a unique layout)

Im all for it shape. I think ive said this before, but when i was back playing Earth and Beyond the main thing that attracted me to the game (after all the noob leveling i had to do anyway) was the fact that there was soo much in the way of unique weapons out there to use.
Depending on the NPC spot, id either go out by myself, with a group of friends, or sometimes we would have a whole mass of players (anywhere from 20-80 players) all work together to kill really hard NPC's so that eventually a "boss" would spawn and drop that special unique weapon or device that many players wanted (we bid on them at the time) That was by far, the funnest thing ive EVER done in ANY game. Period.
This game has an incredible pvp setup, and i applaud the devs on that. But seriously, whats pvp when theres a small and un-unique selection of ships and weps (good ones anyway) to play with? And where is the sense of teamwork in a game that dosent have incentives to do teamwork type things? (such as what i described above) And where does an individual player get his own identity when everything is the same for everyone after they hit level 9 no matter how many players or bots u kill, no matter how many trade runs you do, and no matter how many roids you prospect/mine? The incentive stuff out there now is crap compared to the God Of A Gun Neut3.
again,my 2 creds.dont spend all in one place.....
