White Cells and Faction Permissions

[Hexx]

As the rules stand, any technology listed as a white cell requires expressed permission from the official faction owning that technology. As such, if a mercenary was allied to the Corsairs, they would need to request permission from the official Corsair player faction before flying a Praetorian, Titan, etc.

While I do not agree with this system, I will not go into that subject. I will, however, bring this into discussion as an example.

As we see there, the official Corsair player faction has now completely barred anyone from using white cell Corsair technology. Whether they have very good reasoning or not, this is blatant abuse of an admin issued system. They have been given a high level of power and responsibility with the tech chart system, yet they have now basically turned all Corsair white cells into red cells, regardless of player RP.

This seems absurd to me. I am not here to point fingers, but as I already strongly disagree with the current system, I then see this and the exact reasons I do not agree with the system are realized and happening. It's bad enough that a faction leader can say "Nah, I don't like your RP behind using Corsair tech. Denied.", now a blanket denial is in effect.

What does the community have to say about this?
