About the whole CR Tech Permission

[Knjaz]

Well..... how the hell did Weps went to Terrorist in real world. Smuggling. Traitors are everywhere mate. Stealing still stands good.

This made me laugh. Really.

Seriously, why don't we see Terrorists with T-90/Leo2A6/Abrams tanks, F16/F15 fighters, Ticonderoga class cruisers, S-300/Patriot missile systems, Satellite networks, SSBNs, but mainly with firearms, grenade launchers and MANPADS? Most of those are portable and don't require any significant amount of maintenance, or extremely old and outdated. (hence the they also use AKs instead of M series)

So yeah, there can be a good possibility to steal a Colonial-developed hand blaster. Maybe even smuggle handful of them.


...a Battleship? And keep it running? :lol::lol::lol:

(P.S. Well, it's imaginable. All you need is a battleship captain that will commit treason with a crew that won't shoot him. Heh.)

As for tech copying, look at China. That's the example of what happens when you're trying to copy complicated high-technology (especially military) systems. = FAIL. Which was expected.
You can't copy high-tech equipment with keeping at least 80% stats. Soviets were trying to copy USA produced processors in 80s. It worked for few years, but with processors becoming more complicated it became impossible to copy them.

P.S. But we play freelancer here, so who cares for RL-experience and Common Sense? It doesn't exist in Sirius, never did.
