2 questions about the mixtech nerf - Vito - 12-17-2011
1. Will factions with own bombers and fighters be made white to the BW cell?
Wouldn't it be fair (I love that word) that factions that have their own stuff to be made white to the BW fighters and bombers?
Hessians, Mollys, Rogues, Blood Dragons, Golden Chrysanthemum, Lane Hackers and Unioners are green to the BW tech and while the Sabre is getting nerfed I'm not sure the nerf will be enough to counter the fact that guns belonging to the factions I mentioned are balanced for their own ships. Also think about the LF's (and maybe HF's) which will get a speed buff in .86 and we might end up with everyone flying Scimitars with Natters or Daitos
2. Will ID's belonging to factions with own bombers and fighters be made white to Civilian ships?
Just asking because I'm sick of seeing people flying Eagles and Rocs with a Corsair ID and ignoring the "our stuff is the best" corsair credo

This seems like a logical extension of what they seem to be aiming for, but until we actually SEE the changes we wont know. For all we know this could be built in already.

I'm guessing civilian tech won't receive any modifiers for anyone. The whole point of civilian tech is that it's as generic as humanly possible, and therefore ridiculously easy to maintain and integrate with other technology. I'm not sure about BW tech.
Freighters and light fighters only get a speed boost in cruise. The impulse and thrust speed isn't affected. I also thought the Dragons had their own LF?

In fact, all the dev talk I've heard points to them making white cell tech on par with civilian tech of the same type. So everything will probably be balanced with civilian tech as a baseline and pure faction tech being some degree better than civilian tech.

Thats actually quite a reasonable question although I'm not sure how easy it would be to set up.
If your faction has no ship in a specific class (LF for example), will civilian or BW light fighters be allowed on that particular ID without being nerfed?
Is this even possible?

Isn't BW an equivalent to Civilian?
