Ship-based technerf thread one billion

[Blodo]

But no, shipcompat has become obsolete. Why? Because the balance devs thought it is better to uniformize gun performance. What's next? With no way to counter ship advantages with weapon disadvantages (and vice versa) the only way to follow the trend is to uniformize the ships as well. And in the end we'll all fly the same crap in different shapes and colors.

Red sh*t, blue sh*t, green sh*t, purple sh*t, all smell and taste the same. Do we want that?

I kinda agree with this sentiment. After longer discussion with Haste, its true I guess in current balance ship based techcompat is probably unnecessary. I don't think it's the greatest idea to make guns so uniform. But that's a subject for another thread/discussion.

I don't think we should remove shipcompat. We should probably edit the settings to fit the new balance is what we should do, by I suppose commenting out most (if not all) of the restrictions that it sets. But it should remain there as an option in case the balance consensus changes again. And that's what will most likely be done.
