A late comment about the rix srs. You are getting the wrong picture. Atm we dont have a big community, so trying to adjust games for bigger games, will lead to uber fail. Adjust the core changes and faction balances to the size of the community, and you will have much less whinning about "this or that" being unplayable or ruined. Also much more fun games. Actually the most played cores aren't bad to play due to techpaths, but rather for this kinda of changes, that tweaks everything beyond the comunity it haves.
Also the kinda of mentality "every tech should be equally usable" shouldnt be applied here. Factions are different for a purpose, and so does techpaths. You can't simply try to make them all equally usable in all kinds of games. Also factions and techpaths are sometimes scenario dependants (some factions and techpaths are stronger at certain conditions), on certain types of games, even belts exp are a good choice, despite they having sucky ints. Its just like BIOS, IC and Giga. Since start they had their particularieties and taking them off will take the fun away of this game. Im not criticizin the changes itselfs (in fact the regen thingy on srs looks kinda cool, I bet it will bring a different dynamic to team play), but most of the changes made by the CC devs, arent taking in consideration the point of why this core was made. The comunity, how funny this game is and how many options of being played it has.
Factions and techpaths have their bonuses and tweaks to make this game a different thing of what we used to have. If we wanted to have everything "equally usable" we should go play CS, UT3, or Battlefield, and even on some of those games, they have nuances and certain types of roles will shine over the others when met certain situations.
