If everyone got class 9s from wrecks, we'd have a whole bunch of groups using all sorts of crazy gun mixtures.
I say make it so when you die you drop all the tech that is 'red' celled, then people CAN get those weapons if they try hard, but lose them every time they die.
(don't make em drop white/purple/green and make SRP or tech requests still apply to white cells.)
Technically, if my char found a powerful xeno weapon in space, wouldn't he keep it...? Depends on your chars RP really...
