Technology Compatibility Update

[Spectre]

@Wildkins
Crayter Republic has been long time allied with IMG, why they are defected to use their tech?
And can you keep the Renzu and Civilian Liners like Oasis and Enterprise at 100%?
I mean, Crayter has some Liner Corp marked as Intersun Luxury Liners, and losing that tech is.just being so badly for it...

My guess would be that IMG-CR relations are still somewhat lukewarm, and have only just started warming back up recently, but that was before the timeskip. Helps that IMG can't just amass fleets of inRP restricted Deimos anymore to keep a sense of realism, but that now means that IMG indies have a useless battleship allowance, since the only ships they could use are now de-celled. Can't even use BCs either, since the Sagarmatha was reduced to a cruiser.

Also, liners really should be generic civilian tech anyway, and be regulated by ID allowances instead of techcompat. Aside from their origins, they can have almost no connection to any faction and still make sense.

IMG indies can file techexempt requests with supporting roleplay to be able to use any battleship they would like. If it's a particularly absurd one (say, an Osiris) I'd probably go with an SRP just to be safe, but I don't see why IMG indies couldn't do roleplay around something like a Jormungandr and just file for techexempt.

That's fair, and you're right.
Will take a good while to adjust to actually working with techcompat instead of organizing things around it.

Still curious if there's story reasoning for it, or if my assumption above was pretty much the gist of it. I have my thoughts, but it's always best to hear it in yellow.

Still think some of the changes are a bit questionable, but honestly miles better than I think I would've expected any rework of techcells to go. Nice.
