How about not getting so mad about "not being able to use your special equipment"? You're still very much able to use everything, only with a reasonable nerf. If it's not for the roleplaying aspect of these ships, it must be for the PvP bonus you would gain while flying it, because why else would you be so bothered about it?
I'll just state my point of view on the matter, alright? Firstly, I can understand the frustration of certain people (not only the members of +LE+, but also the members of other factions, the write-ups of which include unique tech combinations) concerning the technology nerf system that has been recently introduced. Yes, it hasn't affected me much (as it happens, all my chars were using either pure faction tech, or green-celled tech; I also never used the Lynx, even in 4.85, when +LE+ were official and could use it in accordance with the approved faction write-up).
There were threads made by certain members of the community, and that already resulted in long discussions. I think I'll tell you the household truth of some sort when I say that certain ships and equipment are bought by people to be actually used. And I am one of those who believe that PvP is an actual part of RP.
I guess you could remember someone saying: "But it's our RP to fly ships from various factions and pew stuff" (I didn't type that quote to the letter, mainly because finding a quote in a relatively old thread is a pain; just in case, this isn't the quote of +LE+ member) but assume you get the point.
I honestly don't care that much about whether we get the GRN tech or not (simply because I myself only used it on +LE+ when +LE+ were a GRN player group), but should other factions, which have access to certan tech according to the write-ups, get the problems with the tech nerf fixed, I honestly don't see the reason not to deal with our case as well.
Yes, that's just my opinion on the matter, and I hope I'm being reasonable.
' Wrote:You also claimed the Jaguar was a bad ship. I've been flying the Jaguar Noir (which only seems to have reduced armor), and except for the in my opinion crappy placement of the torpedo slots, it handles exactly like a bomber should handle, if not better than that. Yes, it tends to get shot down easily by fighters and gunboats, but gunboats and fighters are supposed to do that to bombers. It just seems like an excuse to get your other toys in play.
Well, I myself like both the Jaguar and the new Eclipse, but tastes differ. And as for getting "other toys in play", I hope I've answered that above.

There is no need to repeat something that has already been discussed. Bret stated his point. It's your decision to believe or not to believe him. The rest will be settled with the Admin team, hopefully. And yes, while we are at it, I am sorry that the things have gone that far.
' Wrote:My advice? Stop blaming lack of GRN ships for your nonexistent activity and get some grip. You are not alone who has a problem with it, but other factions don't do such a drama of it.
And that's what I agree with. I'll talk to Bret about this.

Ian, I know you are just envious.
We all are.
Yet, Ivan, you can scroll through my posts above, I tried to be as reasonable as possible (include what I told you in Skype as well).
I know, Tim, but you see, the reason I started it all is not to scroll back, merely because there were quite a lot of posts, including the answers of the other +LE+ members. That's why I'd rather have the questions directed to me, so that I can answer them. And yes, I'll talk to you on Skype right now.
