Remove Red Cells from the tech chart, apply Faction Right 6

[Dab]

Players and faction leaders don't always make the right decision. SRPs required approval by a team of admins, white box permissions require approval by only one faction leader. Sure, it may make it easier to get the ships and loadouts you want that aren't your faction's usual, but that isn't always a good thing. In fact, in most cases it isn't a good thing. I remember back when we didn't have any ship or loadout restrictions period. Things got out of control.

All the rules, and guidelines, and SRP processes we have, were made not because the admins feel like restricting your play, or because it sounded cool. They were made because circumstances demanded they be made. Remove those restrictions and things will slide back to the way they were in the past, and we'll be dealing with the same problems we did then. Factions have the ability to grant tech to certain people within reasonable bounds. Things that are highly abnormal require a team of admins to pass permission. This is the best way to have it work currently. You probably don't realize how many SRP requests are sent in.. It's ridiculous, and many people do not need those SRPs, or they are SRPs just to get them a better pvp setup.

Let the admins get around to fixing the SRP system. Putting control of all tech permissions into the hands of faction leaders isn't a smart decision. I'm a faction leader myself, and still think it's a bad idea.
