At least give factions the ability to give tech without nerf (at least to those who can use their tech anyway), which is basically them "supporting" (fixing/maintaining/w.e) the given technology.
I suggested a similar idea as part of the new techcompat plugin some 4 months ago in the dark little corner of Disco called the dev forums. In simple, a "green list" of sorts which would ignore a particular nerf rate if approved, so people could still buy whatever toy they wanted, but those who actually roleplayed for it and got the support of the owning faction, could fly the same thing without receiving a nerf.
This was not ignored and actually received some support from a good number of devs and admins, but it was kicked way down the priority list since there were more pushing matters hook-wise after 4.87 was released. It still remains as a valid option, but can't be done until someone actually gets around rewriting the plugin to include a green list.
