We know all pirate factions are present in W-space just as long as Empire factions are. So why no pirate faction adopted Sleeper tech in their own way, like Empires did?
I suggest we get Pirate Subsystems.
Sansha interacted with W-space the most. Incursions and shattered systems battlefield are clear evidence. So radical as it may sound, but I think Sansha T3C hull would be an appropriate idea too.
This is just a snap-thought, but if anything happened like this I’d more expect pirate T3Cs to be able to fit subsystems of both required factions, instead of having their own - along with having an extra hull role bonus, or maybe just one new sub.
I’ll confess I dont know much about T3Cs from practical prospective. I mean I theorized a lot but couldnt fit one I’d like to fly yet. I have all four of them at 4-5s along with all subs at 4-5s, and all weapon system skills too.
I’d really love a laser legion for week long solo roams, but laser legion sucks, not to mention no spikes.
Anyway t3c are already hosting more options than they need and are in such a good spot right now that I don’t see them being touched for a long time. Well proteus may need some love.
