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

[Backo]

AGS' combining LWB and Unioners is kinda weird iRP anyway. LWB is based on Hessians, who support them strongly but in return use the LWB bases to hit Rheinland, and Unioners seem to be much less for Rheinland in general than Hessians or LWB. Also the Unioners seem to be a good ally for Corsairs imo, that'd give the Rheinland unlawfuls a bit more variety... But that'd mean the LWB being allied to Unioners would be unfitting. I still think LWB and Hessians should be allied and Unioners and Corsairs should try something again. Corsairs really could use some allies when compared to Hessians / Mollys and OC and all that hangs onto them.

Anyway. What about purple cells? Maybe LWB - Unioner should get those if they really stay allied (oh pls not...). Or Hessians - LWB should get a purple cell. Anyway, as the nerfs are ID specific, factions like the Coalition / SCRA or HF shouldn't have a big problem - they could be adjusted to not get certain nerfs (HF using LN ships for example or SCRA using the Order ships they use). They should (!) be trustable to not abuse what is giving to them and they should know their responsibility. If they abuse it on the other hand...

Still, I like the nerf, even though I'm affected by it, be it because of ships I own now or ships I want in 4.86.

The LWB and Unioners, even having the same parent official faction (AGS-), have different diplomacy and views. So no worries. As for the Corsair thing, we're already slowly getting to it.

Again the whole idea of AGS- combining was to save both factions from dieing out due to inactivity as far as I know.
