The Tech Chart

[Charo]

in general:

- the tech chart is a problem to many things:
--- it causes factions with "influencial" players to gain advantages over players with less "influence" - especially when they are faction leaders and or in charge of shaping the tech of their faction
--- it causes combinations of ships/equipment that was not foreseen - and turned out to be OP
--- it causes bad feelings in general
--- it causes balance problems in general
suggested fix:

- red cell everything ( hence making the tech chart obsolete ) - every faction is allowed to use its own ships and weapons ONLY, no SRP, no exceptions, period.

Yes, let's make things get very boring very fast. And make every HF that uses a generic ID stick to wildfires and flashpoints, and make faction specific debs, and make civilian debs red cell to anything but Freelancers, and make house civilian red cell to the militaries, etc etc


My point is, there needs to be some diversity. When driving down the street, you don't see every type of car the same color and with the same options, do you?
