Question regarding the weapons in Xrebirth

[Warnoise]

I noticed something when playing the game; all races have the same weapons technology.


For example, Canterans, Split, Teladi, etc who have been separated from the Argons for years, why are their ships equipped with pulsed maser and other argon weaponry?

The same with Xenon ships, they should have their own technology, yet their small fighters are equipped with pulsed masers.

Is it related to the plot? Or the devs were too lazy to take care of that and just gave 3-4 weapons to the whole galaxy?

lack of faction specific weapon variety is kinda anti climatic (unlike in X3 where every race has its own signature weaponry)

[Earth Ultimatum IV.]

Split have their Ragefire turrets, Xenon have the small red-laser turrets and the huge orange slime ball trebuchets. Teladi have their small egg-shaped turrets. Khaak have Kyon lasers. Canterran have the IHC cannon.

Pulsed Beam is a very old weapon, since the ages of X3 Reunion. Long time before the gates shut down.

Canterans might have the IHC(1 single Weapon), all their other weaponry is argon, while in X3 (Terrans) their weapons were plasma, point isingularity and Matter/Anti Matter weapons.

As about the Split, it is true their capital ship is equipped with ragefire, but their small ships are equipped with plasma repeaters (they should have that flamethrower weapon like in X3)

I know the xenon ships have special weapon, but their fighter have pulsed maser (like canterans and everyone else)...

Please remember that X Rebirth is not the continuation of X3, it is more like the original X BTF game.

X3 weaponry had many years of development behind it, beginning with the original X BTF, then X-Tension, then X2, then X3 with Reunion TC and AP. All of this has been scrapped as X Rebirth is not using that old X game engine anymore(It had reached the limits of it's capability).

As X Rebirth is using a new game engine, everything has to start from scratch, just as it did with the original X BTF.

As time goes on and new X games are developed using this new game engine, I am sure we will again begin to see the diversity in ships and weaponry we once had with X3.
