Belter boosts

I'm sure there are others, but there are a couple of Bellter boosts that were not in the original design and I'd like to know whether you think they are too much or fine:

1-Omnis

Thing with Omnis is they aren't that hard to get, especially for sup, but they are VERY powerful. I've been in games where it's been a stalemate between Belters and the other faction, and it would be all over with Omnis coming online.

It's an interesting concept but there are a number of things we can do here, such as making them harder to get or crippling them a little.

2-Dual miniguns on figs

It seems if Belters get something decent like mrm3 or qf3, then they easily start going toe to toe with heavy ints. Fighters used to be able to mount only one minigun, not two and it makes a huge difference.

Thoughts?

Omni's are rare enough.

Well I guess that's why we don't have these discussions (and I use the term sparingly) more often

If Omnis are rare (so people don't really buy them much) why does Belters need easy access to an overpowered ship? It only needs a SB upgrade.

Also we should give belter ints quickfire missiles, mine packs, and ripcord. Why not? That's what Belter adv figs are now.

Convince some decent commanders to push for omnis in as many games as possible, and when belters keep on winning with them, players will start bitching for nerfs

Please don't touch Omnis. They happen maybe once a month, and I've never heard anyone complain about them.

The only issue with belters is their con cost (and it's no where near as bad as Giga) and the ease of carrier rushing due to fig nanning. If you really want to nerf Belters make their carrier drones cost twice as much.
