Techmix-nerf and factions which are unique in RELYING on techmixing - Cannon - 12-20-2011
Hmm, I should add...
The main reason this exists is to allow people to use combinations of technology without having to ask permission. It is intended to let people ROLE PLAY the way they want to without having to wait or write novels to justify their role play. The consequence of role play that is out side of the storyline is slightly worse to terrible weapons performance depending of the combinations used.
Certainly there are players affected by this change. We will observe what happens and as always adjust things if the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
With reference to factions that have special combinations, this probably will not be supported going into the future. The key issue here is providing fairness to all players. If a group can justify why they should get better and different treatment to other players then we will consider this on a case by case basis.

This is beyond stupid. This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. It's pissing on the people that have worked for their stuff before. Take me, for instance. I have at least 16 approved tech requests. All have been RP'ed ingame and on the forums. This is just taking (to quote Sindroms) a dum-da-dump on all my work.
This idea is bad and you should feel bad.

I'd buy it, but I'm HF. Paranoid by Nature, paranoid by RP, but I don't care that much at this point. The key thing you're missing is that it doesn't just just affect one or several factions or groups, it affects plenty of people outside of those too.

I hereby second what Jaec said and sign it.

There are two scenarios here:
1. An official faction does this, i.e an [LN] pilot with a LN ID buys a templar and does this.
2. An indie with an LN ID does this.
For the first situation, I trust the official factions to sort this out and work for the good of the server and the factions they play with. If they screw up or do things out of spite then there would ultimately be role play consequences or sanctions against the official faction who initiated the situation.
For the second, if an indie LN pilot buys (steals in RP) the ship and attacks the RM then I can't see any reason why the RM, LN and BFA would not want to hunt down and kill the pilot. There is a potential rules issue here that possibly needs to be worked through but I'm sure we can find a solution.
For your example, it is the player's choice to do this. If the RM (stupidly) declares war on Bretonia for either situation then I will be very disappointed and there will be consequences.

Yeah bollocks, the lore and histories and work behind most of the existing tech-permissions and ships both individuals and factions acquired over time, those too didn't exist. Ever. We're just hallucinating.

I do. I've considered quiting a number of times so that other people can do better.

Here's an alternative.
How about you just let the old stuff stay as is.
