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

@Andrew

3) Their current SRP'd capitals move to SpecOps ID. They can and will attack other ships that are hostile to them within the guidelines of the rules.

you may find that part important then...

4) VR has unlimited continued usage and manufacture of the following ships: Falchion, Bayonet, Broadsword and Hellflurry gun. They will keep other existing LH ships. This will be posted as a SRP notice.

this part however - maybe you ought to ask for a VR ID - which allows hacker gear to be green. - at some point, cannon agreed to that. - but it is not a holy edict that was given. - when the rules change, the board we play on changes - it may just happen that some things simply become invalid. - of course you can use them, buy them, pvp with them. - no one will ever sanction you for it. - and who knows - maybe the nerf is of such a nature that these ships are just "slightly" worse than normal ( like: you wouldn t notice it if you didn t know it )

i can predict though that reason will be listened to - complaints may be ignored from some point onwards.



all in all - as a player, i WISH that faction were less "me me me" - and more giving. ( or if they are not giving - at least trying )

many ppl are revolving very much around themselves - not interested much in what happens to others - unless they foresee that it may affect them, too ( but then - there are also many players that don t look ahead much )



while - all in all - it appears to be MUCH more positivly reacted to than - lets say "cruise drain" ... things are of course monitored.

anyway - do you guys really really think that we have NOT considered all those factions that "rely" on mixed tech? - you really think we are so blind that we missed them - considered alternatives for them, wondered how to make it work?

and if you think that - do you think we re that spiteful or ignorant that we want to ruin those factions - or that we are just too blind to see the problems? - these things have of course been discussed, alternatives have been considered, various concepts - always with those bloody mixed tech / generic factions in mind. ( pure tech factions are easy - and funny enough ..... they mostly appear happy, despite having more restrictions )


edit:

in the past - the Liberty Rogues lost their Gunboat ( for a whole - but short cycle i think ) - it went to the BHG. - many a rogue players had to sell their GBs ... their rogue GB roleplay ruined!

in the past - many zoners had RP established to supply specific bases - pick up goods at one base - transport them to another. - at some point, some of those routes were nerft - they were simply not allowed to use them anymore. - most of them adapted, some of them left RPing zoners.

in the past - i do remember that i had 16 nomad BB turrets on my zoner juggernaut - and had RP revolving around alien weapons research. - then it got nerft and only keepers were allowed to use them anymore. - i had to disband my RP and buy other turrets instead.


change - by rules, or by the game mechanics - change our RP. - and we can be damn thankful for that. - it means we have to change our ways - which is a lot more exciting than sitting it out.
