Techmix-nerf and factions which are unique in RELYING on techmixing

[Vagrant Raiders]

Im posting this on the VR official Account for a few reasons:
1. It will really effect the majority of our RP
2. This is the viewpoint of pretty much EVERYONE in the VR.

The Power-nerf is bull, put bluntly. I will be using VR as a example for most of this, because Its what Im used to. Basically, What happens to the factions that have put blood sweat and tears into their faction, creating large scale alliances with factions, and in return getting their tech? What about the factions that were PER ADMIN DECREE given a tech line due to their RP? The Vagrant Raiders where once a Lane Hacker faction, and as such we used Lane Hacker Technology. Per a decree from Cannon, We where granted full LH snub tech BY THE ADMIN TEAM due to RP. So we get nerfed for using said tech from the moment of creation? What about the Outcasts? We have (as part of our RP) smuggled cardamine into liberty as per our RP, and gotten rewarded by the 101st with technology, assistance, and pretty much many shiny things. The VR have had long lasting relationships with the Rogues, The Lane Hackers, The Outcasts, The Hellfire Legion, and now all of that work that I and the Factions Creator Dream Theater put into this faction.

Take a car, Imagine you being very good friends with a Mechanic, who teaches you how to install parts in your car. You install some aftermarket components that you learned how to from your very good friend. Ships are like Cars. Your skill and knowledge you have gotten from your friends do not just immediately vanish when you try to put something on you have worked for, and learned. The VR learned from their experiences, and I assume they would know the technology to maintain it to its best working condition. That is inRP knowledge. Yet, the devs have attempted to just kill everyones none-cannon RP because of well...I don't even know. Take the Hellfire Legion, a faction that has been stabbing at battleships time after time again. One would believe that the inRP techs would know how to fix their warships, after having them damaged 9000+1 times by navy guns.

How exactly would this make any inRP sense for factions that have been working with the technology for so long, now just to get backstabbed becuase they are not "canon"? Canon RP is what happens ingame. Canonwise, the HF are a big unlawful military that is a force to be reconed with. Canonwise, the Unioners are working together with the LWB. Canonwise, VR is a unlawful piracy and smuggling group that uses Outcast and Hacker technology, gained from experience and RP. Canonwise, the SCRA gained their Osiris from the Order(and corsairs). So now, due to our canon, we get penalized, while it is part of our RP?


That's just Crap.

-The Vagrant Raiders, Not just the Overlord, Not just the HC, Everyone.
