I think that this is a neat idea. I'm not that big into the racing aspect of
the Consortium, but I do like the idea of the Standards. The credit idea is
also excellent in my mind. It levels the playing field with respect to
ships, functions, size, etc.
Since a person could choose whether to make their ship compliant, or not, it
gives a little leeway to guild members (which I like). I think that a
little icon could be added to the web pages of members that says: "This ship
is Hexadyne compliant" or some such statement with a link back to the main
Hexadyne page. It gives a little bragging right to the developer as well as
advertisement for Hexadyne.
Now, not only do I have to buy my parts in real life, I have to buy them in
the brick world as well. Looks like I need another job.... :-)
