Mission & Weapon suggestion for 2.1

[CMDR Hagglebeard]

Weapon Suggestion:

When 2.1 weapon variants come out, can military ships have enhanced weaponry that really makes them shine in comparison to, say, system police? I'd love to see variants of those purple plasma turrets on the Majestic cruisers, for example.

Mission Suggestion:

I'm not sure if this is going to matter when 2.1 drops, but please make missions more accessible to people not friendly or allied to the faction acting as the employer. Right now, there's great missions in lots of stations that i would like to take, like massacre and piracy missions, but they're all locked by rep, so freelancing is difficult.

There are a couple of obvious gaps in weapons based on lore and existing mechanics;

- Military lasers in the original Elite were more powerful versions of beam lasers

- Plasma repeaters
If we look at functionally similar weapons, canons operate in a similar scale to plasma accelerators. What we don't have is a plasma equivalent of a multi cannon. These type of high speed energy projectile weapons are common in other space based games but not in ED currently.
