Technology Compatibility Update

Got to agree, I really feel sorry for Junkers right now. They had so many 75% and now they have nothing xD

Given they're a group that repurposes salvaged ships and the like, if anything they feel like the one faction that should maintain 75% cells.

Well they should get 100 on just about anything but Gallic and Kusari tech if they file tech exemption easily

Looks like pewing with Junkers is doomed to suck no matter what. They had a mediocre repertoire of guns and now they have it worse, Junker and Zoner guns are terribly bad.

"CR Ships 100% → 10%" for IMG? Really? Nyx and Python were made for IMG back in the day iirc and now we can't use them as IMG, such a shame :C

[Wildkins]

What is the official channel for amendments to these - Player Requests? Bug reports? Dev Plans? Faction perks? PM Wildkins?

Player requests if you think a fundamental change should be made, bug report if something isn't working like I said it is, and faction perk if you want to expand your techcompat for your OF.

Why are hackers not able to use Rogue stuff when they're allied? Vice versa as well.

Recent story developments. They were hostile for a while and are now shakily neutral.

Why the hell can Hessians use BRETONIAN CIVILIAN SHIPS but not IMG or Rogue ships? That makes absolutely no sense at all, if anything we should have Rheinland civilian ships and weapons as the only civilian line.


IMG has FULL CELL ACCESS to hessian stuff but NOT vice versa.

The IMG cell not being reciprocal was the result of giving them Hessian tech last minute and not doing the change in reverse. Bretonian Civilian Ships are available from the Hessian relationship with the Mollys. The rogue connection is a bit of a stretch geographically and diplomatically, although O-55 does loosen it somewhat. Ultimately we don't want factions having full access to all tech of every faction they're not openly hostile with, because that creates the exact perverse incentives that leads the majority of OF roleplay between factions to basically be "hey let me have ur ship"

Why does everyone have Zoner ship access? You basically just flipped the Junker stuff with Zoner stuff hahahaha.

Zoner guns were 100% on basically everyone. This was altered to be Zoner ships and guns are available to anyone with a presence in border worlds or systems with Zoner outposts, who would be able to purchase and use them.

Being allied for centuries is not a strong justification?

Can you be a little more specific?

The changes seem arbitrary

I tried my best. If there's something in particular you think is amiss, I'm open to suggestions and feedback.

LH with Outcasts, Liberty Rogues, Golden Chrysanthemums to begin with. Was rather surprised how suddenly the tech was taken away, leaving only LH and civilian tech available.

Story developments with Rogues have led to that relationship cooling off. As noted previously in the thread, the story opinion is that Corsairs and Outcasts are incredibly stingy with their ships in-lore, and outside of the GC for Outcasts and very rare exceptions otherwise, they aren't handing them out

I can see about GC-LH ships, I don't think that's a huge problem.

[Wildkins]

Adjustments for next restart:

- Planetform: Bretonia Lawful Ships at 100%
- GC / GC-: Lane Hacker Ships at 100%
- Lane Hackers / LH~: Golden Chrysanthemum Ships at 100%
- CR / =CR=: Renzu Ships at 100%
- Hessians: IMG Weapons, Ships at 100%. Bundschuh Weapons at 100%.
