Faction and the Tech-mix

[Jamez]

I like the part where people are saying 'RP includes PvP!' as an argument.

No one is taking your weapons away.

But, let's face it, it's not about your RP at all. You just want to win.

I believe that it's more about feeling that something is being taken away from, not about the thing that is taken itself.

Why? If they really did it "For the RP" and not to just get a pvp advantage, they wont mind if it doesnt fight as well. If they did do it for the pvp advantage, they dont deserve special treatment.

And what's wrong if it was done for pvp?

Besides, what rational thinking character (inRP) wouldn't want to have an edge over his enemies if he's combat orantied. Expecially important for all kinds of mercinaries?

Moreover, why it's always assumed that if someone uses other faction's guns on other faction's ships it will be OP as a rule of thumb? That is stupid.

My opinion? well, is that we have to see how it is in truth BUT, i think is a bad idea... i smell that will be a big problem... and awesome amount of QQ posts asking for the withdrawal of such measure, especially unfair for Generics...

anyway, this post has become the typical RPwhores Vs PVPwhores... none of the extremes are good indeed, its always said this is a RP server... but pvp is part of the RP depending on your ID, no matter what RPlovers think.

I have a new question to drop here... does this throw away the tech chart? Or are some of the cells 'taken into consideration' by the nerfBot?

I was right now settin up a zoner tagged Kaichou bomber and was trying to guess that one out...

I guess my question is if nerfBot will difference between green cells, white cells, purple cells, and red cells, or if it's gonna nerf just anything not civilian or from the faction you belong to.

I think the tech chart is being re-written for the purpose of the nerf - making everything white, unless its specifically red.

Better make it all green now and remove it.

I asked this earlier and never got an answer...

Will it affect ship combos too? I suppose since the tech chart does apply to ships as well...

What will ships have if you have an OORP one with your ID? Will they get a performance nerf?

So many questions. So many possibilities.

I think everything will change to white...

What about that?

Mein gott, I do not know! I assume that, according to my plans, once control is gone I'll fly my freighter, heavily armed with civvy turrets or Belials/Trefoils and KINTANOs. I'll continue to work against the Junker Congress whilst pretending to be a friend of Jack Crow's and build a proper Junker faction of my own from the junked wreckage of my enemies. At least, that's what I've been discussing with a few fellow Junker types.

I honestly don't know why I'm stalling in anticipation of this update. I guess I'm a little leery as to how my uber freighter is going to be screwed over with Maelstrom's beloved indiscriminate-slapping-down-of update.

White means you would have to ask faction leaders for permission. That would create more work for faction leaders, and there would still be favoritism. The new system was made to reduce work and favoritism, so it will probably be green, which will make the whole chart useless, which will make it disappear, which will make thins easier, which is good.
