So really, what type of space commander trying to achieve dominance over another faction leaves their little safe sectors without scientists? You know the dudes with the white shmocks and stuff... Oh wait we have scientists on these funky space stations we built right? Then why the $#@! isn't there an option to assimilate foriegn technology? What, are these "scientists" lounging around playing naked twister? (fun btw).
I mean really, if you're up against Ga'Taraan and you're being nuked into the ground by their pulse lasers, wouldn't you want to prod your scientist dudes to research a way to mount those spanky pulse lasers on your fighters? As a commander wouldn't that be the best counter instead of mindlessly sending masochistic pilots to try to break their camp on your supremecy?
What I'm suggesting here is why don't we have an option to assimilate "cheese" tech under, say adv. garrison? Upgrade the garr, research this option, and bang you can use their cheese tech against them. Perfect counter I'd say. Feasible idea?
Why not...

Hmmm, should be easy enough done, i had a little think and im pretty sure i can do that one ice without any issues. I'd have to double up pulse lasers in ice, so that when gt dropped there pulse laser and you pick it up, you have the ability to research to get the "second type"...only one thing, why would you want to play with the same tech, we might aswell have 1 faction then with all tech.
It's more of a tactical thing. Enemy has tech otherwise not available to you (MRM Zeus, EW Laser AC, Vulcans etc.), you steal tech, you even out the playing field. The way DN is right now, it should NOT be once a certain faction researches a certain tech, they shouldn't be god invincible even-newbies-can-whore-weed all-powerful. That's just broken. It's like researching "resign" for the other team.
Besides, you enjoy games with mini2 hvy int slugfests don't you /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
(Also, wouldn't it be hilarious is you research this then steal SRM Doomsday? /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> )

You'd have to capture a Pali too.
While drizzo, I like the idea. The practicality of it would be nill in many ways. What tech could you seriously see yourself using on your own ship? You steall GT's Pulse Laser, ok, then mount it on your regular fighter? No... I'll pass on this.

All nix cheese - lasers for bbrs? laser blossom? vulcans? But then those are the perks nix gets to make up for no nans.
Steal Zeus would be nice eve for your scouts. But are you referring to all faction specific tech? could you steal plas gens? could tf steal prox? This would serve to make factions more similar. What advantage would belts have if you gave everyone this perk (well aside from all their other perks...). I'm sure deng and all the rest of the dn haters will love this idea.

Death's hounds feared me
Actually I've always kinda wondered why belts couldnt steal Zeus or lasers and such....

First off, I'm not saying *give* it to them, I'm saying make it a researchable option under adv. garr so the cost to be able to assimilate the technology is somewhat synonymous to the price the other team paid to buy the tech.
Secondly, this is an option, not a perk. It's not intended to be used in all situations (do you buy XRMs to bomb a tech base 2k from an aleph you have easy uneyed access to?) If it's Rix Sup vs GT Sup, and those pulse lasers + zeus are obliterating your figs and you have some cash sitting around, why wouldn't you upgrade your garr (if you didn't already do so) and research this option? You steal their spanky pulse lasers and your team is back in business.
Narg, you severely miss Belters' perks if you think this takes anything away from them, since they can not steal any sort of cheese tech. They can steal any regular tech and use it regardless of what tech base they have. I'm not suggesting that my idea be used to turn every faction into a belters-esque faction, I'm only suggesting an option to tip the scales once the opfor researches cheese.
It has situational practicality gui. In the hands of a commander who knows what he's doing, this gives him more options to turn the tides.
