Aeternus provided you with an example right above your post.
Factions gaining capabilities in terms of ship classes they would otherwise lack access to when compared to other factions in the game. SCRA and GC for example. Why don't the GC have a battleship?
He said that this tech chart was meant to put balance back in the hands of the devs. This is exactly what he's doing.
Though, on that, I really disagree with Special IDs existing in conjunction with this new system, assuming that SRP requests remain closed. As this chart is meant to provide equality (which it does mathematically, whether people have a problem with this or not), leaving special IDs out of the system but preventing people from obtaining those special IDs means that the entire framework is still inherantly unfair. It would mean that PvP benefit is still based on how long you've been here, with the cutoff period for these benefits when SRPs closed. This would mean that nothing has been acheived by this new system, except for taking away more freedom, which is always a bad thing if it isn't offset by something else.
I hope you take this into account. Even though what admins do isnt the concern of devs and vice versa, there should be communication between the two. If admins dont intend to open up SRPs, special IDs can't be justified remaining in their current form.
