The Tech Chart

[chopper]

Chenzo, I am not blowing it out of proportion.

It is one thing to see a Junker with 1 type of all different guns on his slow-fat ship.
It is completely another to see BD HF's with full Krakens and Inferno, as it was in 4.84 without the tech chart.

For example, I wouldn't mind seeing Manta with 1 Kraken, 1 Salamanca, 1 Trefoil, 1 Natterturn, 1 Hellfurry and 1 Daito. They are like, trophies.
But, you know, nobody wants to mix guns like that. 'RP' usually turns to 'PVP edge'. I'm not judging, I wouldn't mix guns like that either, I would be a bad Bounty Hunter.

Tech chart is there not to stop Corsairs from using Outcast tech, that was forbidden even in 4.84, but to stop allies using each other's equipment too much (or at least move responsibility from the admin team to the official faction).
So, you won't be seeing all Hackers using Krakens instead of Hellfurries. You might see some, which do bother to request and fulfill what is asked from them.

I think it's really really great and helpful, and I think that people who say it suffocates their RP just can't be bothered to develop their RP well enough to get what they want trough it.
You can still use anything you want if your RP justifies it and you are approved.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.

Can't let you bash folks in your sig Chopper-Del
