Since when did every faction count their "technology" as secret and honored? I can understand not letting everyone and their mother use a Falcatta instead of a Barghest, or somesuch, but, really, things like the Barghest for the Lane Hackers, or the Broadsword for the Rogues, two factions which are allies, the Rogues by admiration and the LH by convenience (As far as I know) being unreasonable without paying a ridiculous fee or asking? That is ridiculous...
Sure we can say "We have awesome techlology in it!" or "We developed it, pay for it!" but, why? What happened to the trust between allied factions? What happened to the trust and common courtesy here? I might had only lead and been a part of niche factions, however, in my time of being here, I never remember anything being as secretive as everything is now. When the LWB faction status was written up, no one asked the Hessians if we could use the Odin, Thor, or Loki. They were our allies, and if our top ranking members wanted to use them, we had the means to get a few, in RP, and so we did. It's not a big deal and it never was. But now things that should hardly exist, like a Rogue Destroyer or a Hacker Bomber, make us all turn our noses at everyone else and say "No, it's my shipline! Get your own!"
Excuse me, but, what happened here? In this atmosphere, there is a NEED for every faction to have their own shipline. Do we really want that? Do you want an LWB VHF running around? Do you think the LWB has the ability to make a VHF? What about a Gaian VHF? A GC LF? An FA Gunship? Do we really need these things? Is it so hard to share?
I can understand the need to feel unique. The way to do that is through your individual RP, not your fancy shipline...
