If he cannot achieve it in game via legal means then he is powergaming. He can claim that he stole the blueprints of all of Sirian ships, but he cannot produce it by legal means in-game only by illegal means ( via just buying the ships by rightful owners vendors and claiming that he produced it ) he is quite all right to claim whatever he wants, he also can claim that he simply stole the said ships so he is coming out of the rules violation trap that you are so "nice" to set to him as new player.
The line is quite blurred if you does not have the experience with the local flawed way of thinking-sadly the biggest part of the server population is not mature enough.
Also healthy competition is one thing, organising bad stunts in order to get the new guy in trouble or to forbid him to do something that does not suit your faction interests but it is perfectly within the rules is other thing.
By no means I intended to quote anything, no clue where you got that from. As long as he only claims inRP that he is capable of stealing technology (read: intellectual product; inRP entity), he is all fine, once he tries to RP actually doing so without the consent of the owners of the technology, that is powergaming. Obviously he did not powergame this yet.
You first stated that stealing technology is well within the rules, to which interpretation I assumed you meant technology (read: intellectual product; inRP entity) as what he originally meant was that, but then you backed your claim with something actually applying for technology (read: material product; inRP and in-game entity), and that is why I made that remark. That was prior to your edit as you can see from the quote of your words in my post.
So as it turns out to be, you were saying the same as I did, but in an easily misinterpretable context. However it would be also great if you would calm down and leave your anti-social/anti-"vet"/anti-official-faction/wathever remarks outside. There are ways to help out new players without spitting hatred all over this thread and turning them against the rest of the community via false negative propaganda about the majority of us.
