Engine Technerfs - What does the community think?

[Lythrilux]

So, what's the general community opinion on technerfs for engines? More so that they're cosmetic only?

I voted other because more engines are going to be introduced for the Sirian side. The engines now were introduced to test them before the flhook (I believe) was updated to allow them to be added to the technerf. So the plan all along was to have two separate engines types. Sirian and Gallic.

So before everyone screams that they shouldn't have a technerf, keep in mind more engine colors will be added, but to follow RP/Lore, Gallic engines are not compatible with Sirian tech. So I support that they should, but I also am happy to know that we will have more options in the future.

Nope, it's cosmetic.

Cosmetic = no technerf.

It's like standardising every gun in the game but keeping technerfs. Silly idea.

Having iRP engines at all is stupid, regardless of whether technerf-exempt options are going to be added.

They are purely cosmetic, and having a white, yellow, blue or pink engine does not affect how good anyone's RP is, period. I also doubt people are going around having their "immersion broken" by seeing pink engines in Liberty, or blue engines in Rheinland, etc.

This is an example of unnecessary changes being implemented to replace a system that already works.

That said, if the rework removes the 4m charge on changing engine colours (although I doubt it - yay moneysinks), I'll be all for it.

Since when does it matter what the community thinks?

I think, that the community shouldn't be so ungrateful and impatient.

Also, I haven't even noticed that there are different mountable engines since that point. And now that I know it, I still don't care because it's nothing I've really missed before. It's a nice addon, and it's okay that not everyone can have all the shiny toys (colors). Actually, I don't even know what the difference is between those engines. Just colors? What's the matter with the nerf then? Just color them yourself clientside.

It seems like the more features one gets, the unhappier he'll be. Stupid people.

Heh. Aye, I'm ungrateful. If it wasn't for the people I've met during my time here so far, I reckon I'd left this mod by now. I tried that even. I'm just very glad I have met and still meet wonderful people, who interact, who have fun with me and others. That's what I came back for. Not some lag-infested server, with all sorts of stuff that just drive this mod towards its end even faster. But yeah. I'm an ungrateful one. I agree.

Topic-wise: I say no. McNeo says it, cosmetic.

Never said that I'm happy with all those features. If it was me to decide, I'd play .85. "The Lag" is of course a justified point, as one can't ignore it (other than the features themselves).

Just colors? What's the matter with the nerf then?

I don't understand how your reasoning is literally the opposite of what everyone else thinks.

The technerf should be a balance-only tool, not something that interferes with cosmetics.

Gallic weapons have a cool blue projectile color. And nomads got awesome purple thrusters. And hessians got those sleek black snubs.

My point is, that not everyone can have it all. Be it just cosmetics even. New cosmetics that aren't even final yet. My reasoning is probably the opposite of "everyone else's" because I'd call myself a modest person who doesn't need to have it all, just for the sake of free choice. People always want what they can't have, no matter if they need it or not.

It annoys me, that people judge over stuff that isn't final yet and was given to them without need/request. Can't deny a gift, no matter how much I dislike it. It was for free after all, and the giving person meant it well.
