Same here- the whole concept is good- but the chart in its form sucks big time. We at the Molly official faction never agreed to give green cell to half Sirius anyway-nobody asked us. See here Post 58 Molly Official facton Leader and Me there post 37- Molly Official faction HC member. We were ignored when we already told everyone that Mollys and Rogues share only the same ship line but we have different guns and there should be different cells for it too. And the most funny and ridiculous part is that even half of Sirius can use our stuff at full green at 100% efficiency we as Mollys can use only Rogue guns from the whole tech chart deal. The whole situation is really stupid.

The whole idea of "everyone is equal now" is rolling down the hill with that until we'll not start to get a special ID for any character.
Why reavers and mandos needed an ID at all? This is a mystery since mercenarying is okay with the regular merc ID, the only thing that comes to mind - we wanna be merc, but mercs with better gear then just mercs so we'll force any other mercs to go enjoy themselves or to join the faction.
I don't know how it promotes the standards of equality if the degree have been shifted to elitism once again.
For example i don't feel like I want to join the merc faction, then I'm pretty much going to be flashpoint sabre pilot, or to use codes. This pretty much cuts off the possibility the regular ID had before. I could just work for someone and then to ask for tech. Now it is impossible and by giving more possibilities the whole idea cuts off the possibilities at all.
That sounds funny, however i feel okay in 75% titan.
This is right too, as it seems they needed their own IDs only in order to have better tech combos- something that is not achievable by average Joe freelancer- because whatever you say I see Reavers and MM as freelancer groups with official faction status.
I cannot see why they should be able to use 4-5 different ship-lines- hell normal big established NPC based factions cannot do that, why they can?
I would say that the Admins need to reevaluate the whole chart system and assign clear rules for it- who can get what? What can the official factions do according to their cells? Who decide witch cell would get its own faction- faction leaders?, Admins?, the guy/girl that made the new chart- ignoring all of the feedback?
It is getting ridiculous now really- skype friendships and OP combinations only for few chosen ones in 4.86, in 4.85 it was skype friendships and OP combinations for all- so in general you are doing it worst than it was.

New Information has come to light. Situation is in flux. Admins are going to discuss, you will know what we know soon. How soon I cannot say. Until then this thread has served it's purpose, every conceivable argument has been raised, including (I'm not surprised to say) the Admin conspiracy one. I'm going to lock it.
