I feel that adding in specific set items that are so powerful comparatively to anything else that they functionally force your hand and define your playstyle for you - because to not use them doesn't make sense, in space, but to use them locks you into playing a certain way and tells you how you 'should' play.... actually detracts from the game as a whole, and discourages player freedom and flexibility. I wouldn't consider myself a purist by any stretch of the imagination, but there are good ways to homebrew and bad ways - and the Larian item sets are short-sighted, at least in my opinion and based on my own experiences.
