This seems to be a bit of a bugbear at the moment. It’s a slow process for members and hits a single point of failure. Even if Tef is looking to add some resilience there.
Why don’t we just…not do it?
Why don’t we extend the Salvage rules and make people resubmit technology when there is a significant change. E.g. if someone wants a tier upgrade they resubmit their company as a Tier 4. The original submission then gets tagged with something akin to “Salvaged” tag.
Advantages:
Factory Judges could potentially deal with modifications on their own.
Each update to the submissions would be judged for balance
All part of one streamlined process.
Disadvantages:
Might get some issues with people resubmitting items that are from old days when there may have been different standards.
Can judges change the tags on old submissions?
Mitigations:
Need guidelines for judges that say that old submissions are grandfathered in, but that adding capability to a submission needs it gets judged fresh. However, original submissions should be looked at carefully. (i.e. I can say “You need to do dev to add that to your sub” but I can’t say “you need to dev this ship because its too powerful even though you’re only changing the manufacturer”)
Give factory judges permissions to change old tags (if we don’t already have)
