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

[Blighter]

Tell me, why is it that every pipsqueek faction on the server -needs- their own frickin' battleships all of a sudden? Why is it that every pipsqueek faction suddenly has the -huge- civilian infrastructure neccesary to maintain a capital fleet? There are many factions that do NOT have a full shipline or dedicated line of their own. Bundshuh, Hogosha, AFA, Mollies, Liberty Rogues, Xenos, Lane Hackers, Outcasts... Most of which are all ALSO based around pewpew. HF has a bomber, a VHF, a LF, a gunboat and a powerful, but big battleship. They are definately not the worst off, so quit your pointless Q_Q. It's quite frankly, getting pathetic.

And no, you don't need to kick your existing "begtechyescanhaz" deals into the trash. You can keep using them, just not with a small correction for balance purposes. If you absolutely feel you cannot live without full power, use your own damn snubs and guns - that's what you are getting them for. Yea, in the past you had to use other tech. Now you got your own, so that reason no longer holds.

And no. YOU learn to play with the tools available to your faction. Just like every other faction does. "My faction is pvp only" is not a valid reason to go around this. If that's the case then your faction has no place in a RP server!
Frankly, you're starting to piss me off. Crying loudly does not get you any exception, I'm getting the impression that that's what you're after.

HF learned to do it before and adapted to the changing environment and it took lots of effort to get where we are now. All that effort goes to waste because of some new system imposed on the whole of Discovery. Oh, by the way, come 86 HF has LESS SHIPS than they've now.

You realize HF loses complete access to anything Lane Hacker, except the Spyglass which'll eventually be a HF Battleship? That means HF gets a VHF, a GB, a BS.

Now it can use, MIXTECH ASIDE: Falchion, Bayonet, Broadsword, LHGS, Spyglass.
WE CAN'T USE FOUR OF THOSE IN .86. SO WE'RE TWO SHIPS SHORT TOO.

The rest? Generic / BW tech aside from the handful of caps our fleet's comprised of.
So get your facts straight before you try to BS here.

Oh and you know, I'll bring in that aside from XENOS in Liberty, the HF isn't allied with anyone else INSIDE the house, with the only other alliances being one with Mollys and one with Unioners.
You know why?
Because after XYZ YEARS of being "generic unlawfuls with BSes" and XYZ times we had to listen to complaints, we found a suitable way and have slowly worked towards changing our RP to be that of a Military force that detests things like Cardamine, Piracy, and otherwise.

We have adapted and adapted and adapted again and now you're nerfing our fleet which itself is the result of us adapting to the damn system. Our balance proposals of our ships are laid out to COMPLEMENT our existing fleet, all the hardware is laid out this way, not to WTFPWN.

What's actually pathetic is that a "4.86 Development team member" who preaches of making things fair and whatever other crap you spew actually is completely missing that by implementation of this system several factions get nerfed as the result of a tech-nerf.

And don't try telling me that a faction with a pvp focus has no place on a RP server where the pvp on the server is an INTEGRAL component of the whole server's RP and well-being, SO INTEGRAL in fact that we have a whole balance team going to make things "balanced".
