It would be under the "Communication" forum. It would include threads such as this, this, and this.
Why is this beneficial? Well, for starters it keeps these threads from getting lost in the rapidly-changing Communication forum (which has a MASSIVE turnover... and threads with no replies is on page 2 in a day). This would reduce the number of threads like this (notice there's a thread above for that?). It'd also give a place for requests like that with no overall thread to be noticed.
Even though I'm all for implementing this sub-forum, I see the factions handling tech requests adequately by implementing everything into one thread, such as the Bounty Hunters and the Corsairs and updating the appropriate thread in the rules section. I think the current system enhances creativity and role play, if it gets another sub-forum, it'll seem like grinding and go OORP like the ship sales eventually did.
