The Tech Chart

[Syrus]

I wouldn't mind spoils and stolen tech as much as long as you'd be Starflied on exploding. Because your own faction doesn't have the means to repair/reconstruct tech you do not own, simple as that. It'd also curb folk on "stealing" battleships as much, since one kaboom later you've lost at least 400M.

A long time ago I read suggestions about making "red celled ships" weaker with every time they explode. At some point they should be starflierfied. That'd be more iRP, keeping in mind that most RP their ships to be "damaged" when becoming a blue message.

On the other hand, every such death penalty to red celled ship-stealing might increase F1ing - or rich people could just rebuy the stuff they lost.
