    I'm sure this has been suggested somewhere, just couldn't find it. But what if there would be separate infamys for different ships and you couldn't load high level gear to low level ships.

    Like mk1 ship could only use commons, mk2 could use uncommon, mk3 rare, mk4 epics and finally mk5 and above could use legendarys.
    (maybe even push epics to mk5 and mk3/4 would be rares and then mk6 legendary)

    That way you could test new ships easier and not lose infamy learning it and play some low level games for fun with another ship when you get frustrated with higher level games and nobody could put in some epics and have "fun" with new mk1 ships.

    Also I think this would benefit f2p players, you wouldn't be facing epics until you reach higher mk levels.

    There probably is some downsides I didn't think of, but I'm sure someone will point them to me

    One problem I can think of is seasons, not sure how those would go with this. I guess you could get rewarded from all ships, that would maybe speed leveling up.

    The downside is abuse. Say an Ace league Shooter with high lvl epics or leg wanted to play his speeder at mk2 which is sitting at a low infamy. He'd basically be able to one shot the entire team. This different infamys but keeping the same weapons would allow for a shifted progression where u don't know how strong someone's weapons are. Also it means a mk1 even could get unreasonably high in infamy bcuz of strong weapons that you normally wouldn't get until late game.

    Otherwise I like this idea too and we definitely have talked about it. Should be on all the broken matchmaking threads :)

    Why.............................WHY?
    U could at least buy a rare bro, they are only 750k..................................................
    I was using uncommon turbo too, till i found out rare lvl 10 is basically the same as even lvl 30 uncommon....
    Im ftp and have gotten 3 rare turbos since that so im set for tier 4 at least.....

    Get yo self some speed

    Whatever is uncommon in ur set up, buy a rare of it.
    The only uncommon i use is a tier 4 repair box, simply bcuz i only have 2 rares right now....hoping for another so i can start the transition over

    Maybe limit the rarity a weapon can be found till you reach that mk level. Also players are still allowed to use uncommon items at higher mk I was just saying what level theyd be unlocked at
