and don't ask me why civilian and border world planets that are non pirate wont carry high level ships...makes no sense to me...

It doesnt have to make sense.

ooh pretty a homophobe, go nail someone to a cross. That'll make you feel better.

LOL, finally someone who feel the same way as me about that word.

EB, I don't understand. I don't see any homosexual references. What are you referring to?

I came. I saw. I conquered. And sometimes get conquered.

EB, I knew moderators had the ability to delete and move other posts but not edit them. I always wondered why my posts kept changing for no reason at all. j/k.

The Eagle can mount class tens and it's not a pirate ship...

except that the ONLY place you can buy the eagle is pirate base... try looking...not talking..

I have to agree with him on this. I would like to see each faction have ships capable of mounting level 10 weapons and shields. If nothing more than for balancing. It makes sense to an extent in that I'm sure DA wanted us to explore for the best ships, but maybe a patch or an expansion could add ships in each faction that are the best. I like the Kusari and Liberty ship designs, but unless I want to die alot, I need to go with something I don't like the look of as much for the firepower. It's a minor gripe, but one worth mentioning.

It makes you wonder why the Pirates didn't just woop up on Liberty and take it over.

Mabye you can ruin your "good" faction to get the ship, then start killing the pirates again to repair it. Don't know how long that would take though.

Another issue (IMHO) is cargo ships. Where are the big ones? The best cargo ship listed on spoiler sites can be bought within a short period of time of completing the storyline missions. Having a few more steps before you have the best cargo ship would have been nice. The game seem to be a bit unbalanced in terms of game content. That is, if you choose to be anything besides a fighter pilot of some sort, you seem to reach "the end" of the game faster.

Eagle, Omicron Theta, On the Freeport Station. Non Pirate. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Jebus....

Now now children settle down and play nice!

Well, the idea seems to be that a player who wants to get top notch equipment has to endure disadvantages for it to make the game harder for him (and therefore "more interesting"...well, duh...) - namely being hated+chased by the police forces and other official groups.

So much for the idea. Fact is that it doesn't make much sense if outlaws have seriously better equipment than top ranking military vessels - in any rational world they'd just invade the civilized systems, start to plunder everything and rid themselves of those pesky police/military bugs.
Another thing is that most police forces are rather lame to fight once you have some lvl10 toys equipped, so much for the "more difficult, more interesting" idea.

I too think that this concept is "a bit weird" at best and "exasperating" at worst. Well, I guess that's why people invented modding... I'll keep combing the civilized systems for some lvl8/9 stuff, but when I'm finally frustrated, I'll go implement some additional weapon selling places, mabye also some custom weaponry itself, then buy me a crateload of doomsday guns, fly out into the baddie systems and kick some major pirate ass - just for the hell of it.
