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

[Echo 7-7]

The double standards in some of these replies are laughable...

So it's ok that others take a nerf to roleplay out nonfaction tech but not for your faction? Wow, what blatant hypocrisy.

I think you're misunderstanding the point here. We're arguing against the system, and explaining why we think it's bad using our own faction as a prime example. I'm sure that all the other members of HF command would agree that any other faction or individual, who put the necessary effort into obtaining a particular piece of technology, should be able to retain it and be able to use it effectively.

The fact that you have been doing it for years isn't a defense, it's an indictment. ....... It doesn't matter what window dressing you throw on it afterwords when you flat out admit that you design all your pvp around non-faction tech.

Well, what the hell else were we supposed to do all these years before our own tech even existed? We made these tech deals, alliances, pacts and so on to acquire things to fill gaps in our arsenal, not because we wanted something better than what we already had. How can we be accused of building our faction around non-faction tech when our faction tech didn't exist earlier, and in some cases, still does not exist?

Edit: @casero; This issue would not occur if we had our own full shipline. We're not asking for something unbalanced, we're asking for something that will work. If the Devs want puretech to be the combat-effective option for factions, then let us have our own ships.
