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

[Jinx]

from crossreading the thread:

- replace "roleplay" with "pvp" - and things look right. ( refers to many of the earlier posts made here .. )

i am aware the roleplay is part of pvp and pvp is part of roleplay. - without pvp, the roleplay is rather dull - so everyone is aware that it is an integral part.

a few points:

- i mentioned right in the beginning ( early reply in the trailer thread ) that we have several concepts - and the one mentioned is but one of them

- we are aware of the problem of generic ID ( the problem on several levels )

- we are aware of special groups that make it a focus point of their RP to mix tech.



in general:

- we assume that any tech mixing is done on a roleplay basis, WITHOUT the wish to improve the pvp capabilities
- we assume that trying to mix tech just to get a pvp advantage is "bad". - sometimes it might turn out that a good RP reason ends up a good mix though
- after gentlemen agreements kinda failed - trusting the playerfactions isn t quite working anymore - hence we get the only objective system possible.... :

the objectivity is: an equal playing field for all. - if you feel the NEED to mix techs, you ll do it on a RP basis - just for the sake of mixing, not for the sake of pvp. - if you want to pvp, you ll try to go as pure-tech as possible.

"but won t that leave generic factions at a disadvantage?"

yes - in a way it does. cause - as was mentioned numerous times: these factions trade a much greater freedom of choice ( zoi, alliances, playstyles ... ) for efficiency. needless to say - a generic pirate ID has more freedom than a gaian ID.


in any way - before you ppl start to rant yourself into a state of utmost refusal and "final nail state" - you really should learn to "wait and see".
