Well the plus side is that the NC got the least amount of votes. It was a tight race between TR and VS. It was kind of funny because people campaigning for TR or VS were trying to get NC votes to switch to bump up their own factions.

It is common knowledge that the NC got screwed in the weapons category.

However I have been NC since 03'.

It would be wrong to turn my back on my comrades at this point.

NC have fun weapons. I don't think they're that bad.

One thing I loved from this interview was Smedley denouncing unpracticed failure pilots.

I love a challenging flight model that has idiosyncrasy about it, and I'm glad to hear that will stay. It's so much more rewarding, and fun (long term especially) to really have to practice and figure it out.

A look at the bare weapons stats begins to illustrate the severe problems with the NC weapons.

Meh .. I feel like I get a lot of kills just running around with a pistol.

IMO - be smart about movement and flow of battle and you can cleanup with anything that goes pew pew. I played NC exclusively during beta and never had an issue with any class / weapon.

(not to suggest that gun stats don't matter, but if there is a 'severe' issue, I didn't notice it)

edit: Smeds 'open' development idea is amazing. I'm genuinely surprised that a company the size of SOE is pioneering in this ...
