' Wrote:Here's a thought: Factions could just be a whole lot more careful who they give their guns to.
They did it when they clearly knew they can denounce their tech transfer agreement.
If it was, again, too much work for administration in some way, (like with SRPs), if it was considered that policy change in this area is a must, then at least it could be stated that this rule doesn't have retroactive force.
It wouldnt fix any current problems with factions shutting down their tech transfer, but at least it would be a fair game, since again, those early tech transfers were made in a completely different system, under very different rules.
Are we gonna get flooded with sanctions when 4.86 comes out and equipment won't match the one installed on the ships, or a trial period will be given, when the one can change his equipment?
Same should've been done to factions, at least give em time to reconsider their tech transfers, and if not revoke them, then at least add some lines to the agreement.
P.S. I'm not a member of any faction, that transferred weapons to others. But I'm a member of faction, that received it weapons from the others, and considers them highly valuable. But even I see the flaws in how the rule was changed.
