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

[Blighter]

Before anything else, I don't really care about HF or its problems and this post it not related to HF in any way.
Why? Who says every faction needs battleships or their own shiplines? How would LWB having battleships make any sense in RP? If you ask me both the Corsairs and Outcasts should have little to no battleships and only a handful of cruisers.

This is, after all, Diso RP 24/7. Diversity and balance (or the lack of) make this server interesting and exciting. If everyone had the same space boats with the same pew sticks the large variety of factions and Disco itself would make no sense.

In my opinion the techmix nerf its the best thing that could ever happen to Disco and for a million reasons it makes perfect sense. The "we worked hard to get a PvP advantage" argument makes me sad and there should be no room for it on a RP server

I should have specified, I didn't mean a whole new shipline for every faction out there INCLUDING Battleships and Cruisers or the like, and I sure as hell didn't mean to have LWB Battleships. However:

Unioners get a Bomber and Fighter.

LWB and Bundschuh don't get those.

All their IDs allow up to Gunboat-class ships.

Red Hessians have a LF, VHF, Bomber, Cruiser and soon a Battleship.

You know where this makes people go in large part? Not to the Bundschuh or LWB, because they get nothing fancy of their own, and so they have to do with a nerf.

Why use a nerfed Odin with Destroyers / Lugers as LWB / Bundy, when instead you can be a Hessian using an un-nerfed Odin with Natters? This is still a PvP server, and I think the huge amount of Outcast, Corsair and Hessian Indies speak VOLUMES when it comes to this matter, as they go where the fun and cool things are.

Those ain't with the LWB or Bundies in this case.



Now I'll say that for some factions the ability to share or use mixed tech is vital and integral for them to flourish in a pvp-environment as a result, because if they do not have their own tech of one kind, they have to scavenge it from somewhere else so THEY can have the SAME chances like a faction that already has XYZ tech and ships. You can say that this is Discovery RP 24/7 all you want, but PvP is an integral part of the server, and an integral part of RP, just look at all those Corsairs and Outcasts and Military factions out there shooting one another day after day after day. And it's less of an argument of "we worked hard to get our PvP advantage" as it's one of "we worked for something and now you're breaking it, and we have to fix it ourselves or try to, again".
