Did you guys know this? David Arthur revealed this to me. If you want to try out Rebel ships on a pilot, and you're playing Confederate, don't dispair any longer! After completing the Confederate Alien Missions, you can buy Confederate ships AND Rebel ships and Mass Driver! The only catch: although you have access to Rebel stuff, you can't get a cloaking device or tractor beam. Just the particle beam. Hey, it's better than that lousy Plasma Siphon in EVO!
