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

[AeternusDoleo]

So... assuming that these tech-mixed combinations are still useable (only a reasonable nerf that keeps any of these mix-max combinations from being op) , I completely agree with the changes.

That is the whole intent of this FLHook. To remove the benefit in PvP prowess that begging tech elsewhere gives you. To drop that down to the level you'd get as if you were using generic civilian tech if the combination is a white cell.
On a red on the other hand it's meant to make it completely unplayable - to stop lolwuts from using an Odin with Salamancas and Krakens on a Xenos ID, or other idiotic combinations like that. When players realise the system itself prevents those combinations from being useful they'll change them into something more sane on their own and that'll drop workload on the admins.

Oh, and at the original post: If there are any factions that have been created for the sole purpose of techmixing (not sure if that's implied or not) then those don't have a frickin' right to exist in a roleplay environment, period.
