GP: Allow Shipyard

Can figbees and NG sbs be allowed regardless of sy on/off settings? Why were they tied to sy GP in the first place?

Heavy boost and retro boost are also shipyard dependant for some obscure reason...

This bugs me too. I know the SY switch was supposed to be a large game button or something, but it's just annoying to have all those tech dependent on it.

Noir tied those techs to the SY switch when he introduced them in DN for two main reasons:

1) So that tech that was overpowered in very small games could be turned off (XRM, NG sb's, etc).
2) So people that didn't like all the new tech could flip a switch and revert back to more "old school" alleg.

I'm not sure it is relevant anymore. We are actually finding that things like XRM and FigBees are actually more broken in the very large games we currently see on the weekends, for example.

I think it's pretty obvious why XRM and figbees are better in large games than small ones. XRM are completely useless in a small game. Imo, the SY tag should nerf xrm and figbees or having no SY on should boost xrm and figbees. I'd rather have nerfs/perks than complete removal.

I'd actually like to see Caps being able to drop super pulse probes. Makes freighters etc. more useful

Would it be possible to make XRM available only when SY is off?

I was comming a game a while ago. It started out small 7 on 7 (like they always do), so the other com turned off sy. In the end, we had a 25 vs 25 game that wouldn't end since it is impossible to tp2 reg bomb vs adv sup. It was 2 hours, the team was sick of it, they wouldn't draw, so we resigned.

In other words, we at least need XRM or FigBees whether or not sy is on.

Also can we get weaker carriers with SY off? Carrier pushing in games small enough to have SY turned off (think 5vs5) can be a real pain.

Quoting myself just to point out how goddamn stupid this truly is:
