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

[casero]

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.

I guess you meant efficient, not effective. A LM can be effective for taking down bombers, but it's not very efficient. Mixing is less efficient.

But you are asking to be able to keep your hacker, rogues, outcast, navy ships fighting as they are right now, because they are part of your history. I hope we agree that HF has a big advantage when they are able to use these:

The Rogue / Molly Gunboats Charybdis and Scylla, the Liberty Gunboat Undaunted, the Liberty Cruisers Damocles and Excalibur, the LABC Last Sunrise, the Storta Abaddon, to a lesser extent the Rogue / Molly Destroyer Iblis, the Osiris Battleship Incursus, the Ranseur Ven'Gyr, and finally the Spyglass Libertine.

Now, they are saying that the combination of those ships wont' be as effecient as it is now, they haven't said how much the difference will be, you don't know how different it will be in combat, and yet you are already asking to keep things like they are, you want advantage on PvP, because you think you are special.

Even with your own technology, all those ships won't work as they work now. So, your own technology wouldn't change anything with the techmix nerf. Unless of course, your own technology matchs navy, rogue, outcast, hacker, order/corsair. Apparently you don't have a main branch when it's related to technology, if someone asked me, I would say you are closer to Navy.

It's only my opinion that you should just addapt to the changes, find new efficent way to fight with the new rules, like Disco has always done.
