Ye well, I understand your approach, but then changing the description of these ships made no sense to begin with, seeing how all technology is available to everyone already. Obviously, someone had a purpose with doing this, and I don't think tech requests are involved, seeing how the tech chart is dead.
So yeah, I say either broaden the range of selling points so making them public makes sense, or restore the Lane Hacker title, and the power balance things it involves. This current uncertain state is the worst that can happen.
Btw, I heard the Bayonet also got a considerable agility nerf, I cannot confirm that though, since I don't have the old stats at hand. If that's true, I don't think you need to worry about it going into the wrong hands for purposes other than looking pretty.
