Disclaimer: This is the initial trial run for a system we're hoping to develop further, so everything posted under the new system is still subject to change as we test things out. Also, there are currently a couple of technical limitations with the plugin that require some restrictions applied to the approved characters. Hopfully if the trial run is considered successful, we'll be looking into expanding the plugin to allow for a more streamlined and convenient techperm system in future.
Do read this first before overreacting. The system certainly needed a reform, as 90% is a silly number, it just seems there is uncertainty over what should go to 100% and what should not.
The proposal, which is sensible on paper, but is fairly blanket in its implementation, suggests that we go for an automatic opt-out and then a fast tracked opt-in for a tech compatibility reset, weeding out the tech cells that were not used or were not wanted.
