At the moment my BPA can fly a generic sirius wide civ ship at 100%, but gets nerfed to 90% if he flys a bretonian civ ship. If the tech nerfs are supposed to enforce INRP tech usage, that means that the devs consider it more inrp for a BRETONIAN CCD policeman (the police cargo ships, equivilant to police tow trucks, ect. in the real world) to fly a generic civ ship, such as the pelican, than to fly a BRETONIAN civ ship, such as the Clydesdale?! The BPA giues say you should fly a bret ship, so it seems to me something is wrong.
I know its not the biggest deal, a freighter with 90% isnt unflyable, but every little helps, and it would surely just make more sense INRP to fly ships from your own house. Id say its more inrp to swap the 100% generic civillian slot for the 90% bret civillian slot. So Id appreciate it if this would be reconsidered.
Cheers.
P.S: Im just using the BPA as an example here cos its the faction im in and know about, but Id say this applies to all house lawfuls.
Agreed. This kind of nerf does not make any sense at all. Just annoying "90%" message on your screen each time you undock.
Agreed too. I would sugest that to be done in both directions: Police 100% to house transporta and frieghters and Companies 100% to house fighters and bombers.

I actually agree with this too, but I think the idea behind it was something to do with balance and seperating corp and lawful RP. With my idea there is still balance and seperation, as corps would have unerfed sirius wide ships, and lawfuls would have unerfed military ships.
I also kinda wonder why someone would vote other, and not post! We will never know what he meant...
Ah I see balance issues. I was thinking more in the visual part; Percherons escorted by Paladins... lovely! Or Big Dragons by Chimaeras and so on
As a Navy ID'd/IFF'd Mastodon, I experienced 90% nerf, yet the Mastodon is the Liberty 5k.
It doesn't really make sense, and could use a bit of a fix.

In the same boat.if Bison, Uruz and Shire is Nerf as well? think they should be use by house law more then the others house civ ship. So it a yes for me
As far as I know, this is a mirror of the 10% nerf for corporations using their house's military tech. While that is a fair enough encouragement to use 'more fitting' civilian tech, in the other direction it is rather strange to be better off in a Stork or Crane than your house BTrans or 5ker.
Moved this out of the Rules section, didn't seem particularly fitting...
Vote for yes. Makes no sence, and I wonder if there're some battle house civilian tech(except for Grizzly and Ragnar)
House lawfuls should definitely have access to full-power civilian technology produced in their own house.
Balance-wise, this will make almost no difference as freighters and particularly transports don't feel a 10% power reduction anyway.
On the other hand, it doesn't make sense that corporations would have access to military hardware that's on par with what their respective military, police, and intelligence factions use. 90% is plenty.
