The Tech Chart

[themikeruler]

Back in the glorious days of 4.84 this was how tech was settled.
-How you got those krakens?
-Erm, I found them.
-You're going down, we're here to reclaim what's ours.
*pew pew, ta pew, ba-bluemsg*

So yes, back then spoils of war and other things were okay. But due to abuse of some people flying GMG ID/IFFd Outcast dreadnoughts to Liberty with Corsair guns people invented the tech chart.

I could understand the guns part. but entire ships, especially capitals with an entire f***ing crew, is out of hand.

I mean for one, GMG, really? GMG is weak, and to "try" to hijack a dreadnought? not plausible, not plausible at all. They couldn't hijack a rookie Sabre if they tried.
"Oh, you have the Kaichou? Well we have um lets see the Tridente, Storta, Sabre, Switchblade, Falcata, Ranseur, Sarissa, Scimitar.. yeah. Times that by our entire army of 1000, so eat it."

Now to see the Corsairs in an Outcast dreadnought could be plausible, as they are the strong opposing group against the Outcasts. For instance, maybe the dreadnought was caught somewhere in eta, and two Osiris's caught it off guard and attacked. Somehow, they managed to get into the ship and attack its crew; the OCs perished, but only a few Sairs lived to tell the tale. They were able to fly it back to Tripoli for repairs, and outfitted the empty turret hardpoints or even all of them to have Corsair turrets. Thus, the Ranseur of the Corsairs. Of course, the crew would do their best to keep it alive, and probably only use it as a defense ship. The Outcasts would of course raid Gamma and try to take their beloved ship back, but everybody knows that the Sairs always win. (just kidding about that, i have both an OC and a Sair haha)

Anyway, i see it in this way: If it is absolutely plausible, then by all means. but if it gets out of hand, then thats when things need to be put in check.

Hence, the forums. For roleplaying stories.
