I had a thought cross my mind. Short trip for certain but here goes:
Would it be acceptable for sub-factions to be able to use the gear that belongs to the major factions?
For example, would it be acceptable for Romulans to be able to get ELITE fleet gear from both the KDF and the FEDs?
Since a ROM can align with either of the two factions, it seems like one group coulda/woulda/shoulda share that tec from their "container" factions with ALL ROM Republic-dom.
I'd like to see if you guys have any particular outlook on this. Especially the DEVs, if they would answer on this.
I am more than certain Romulans always used Disruptor type weapons in all of Trek canon. Now, I don't know if you guys know it but a DISRUPTOR beam is a Plasma Beam that is charged with Anti-Matter.
Reference/Example:
Disruptor is the designation of several types of weapons in common use among many races in the galaxy including the Borg, Breen, Cardassians, Cravic, Dominion, Eminians, Federation, Ferengi, Gorn, Hirogen, Klingons, Lokirrim, Lysians, Pralor, Remans, Rigelians, Romulans, Son'a, and Vidiians.

And so that is why disruptors are not mounted or gunned by Starfleet: Disruptors can NOT stun a being. They can only kill. Disruptor weapons can't be throttled back like Phasers can.
So, what do you guys think? Sub Factions have access to both "Main Factions (KDF and Starfleet)" or not?
And why did you give the answer that you might give to this thread. Thanks for reading.

So outside their cashing in places like the lottery box and lobi store there won't be any crossfaction action.
Besides the elite phasers and disruptors are pretty bad. The may have nice unique procs but their mods are horrible, [DMG]x2 on a weapon should be avoided like the plague, same goes for the fleet advanced weapons.
