What?
*SKKKKREEEEEEEEEEETTT*
that's the brakes almost going out.
So you're giving self FREE ISD at YOUR Capitol based on the fact that you built an SSD and all kinds of "continuity" aspects from II? That is HIGHLY HIGHLY unfair and biased towards youself. It's mighty convenient to work out that you get a FREE one time ISD, and are content for everyone else to have their Capitols work another way. Not saying this is openly skewing game in your favor, but the congregation of excuses for it's allowance combined with the fact that it puts you alone and your capitol alone at a huge advantage, that's quite a heaping pile of bullshit.
I had an SSD building as well that was at least half way along by time II ended. I'm going to have to strongly object to that little self bestowed favor. Unless everyoen else is getting a free empty one time heavy cruiser, I don't see why you should either.
Everyones putting and has put in LOTS of work. It seems an unjust reward and leg up to give yourself imo.
EDIT - You cite story purposes but it has tangible worth that is not being accounted for. it is free defense that you and you alone are profiting from.
And yeah I read NR specs once, but inbetween having to go back and re check what was changed in rules that were already posted with no notification, I don't have all the time in the world to memorize everyones spec pages at the moment. Soon enough tho
