It used to be one of the fun things when people switched in the past, seeing a enemy with a "stolen" mode. It also became like a prize alt in that they had to be careful how they upgraded since they couldn't reset.
Loss of Energon...
As you said it'd be easy enough to get a donation after the switch as both sides are pretty generous with it. Seems that it hurts the side accepting the transfer as a) the transfer is in less of a position to spread the wealth they had accumulated and b) that side could be put in the position of using funds that could have allocated to new players to bail out said transfer.
Considering that in the current situation the switching from one side to the other is only on the table because of an imbalance of players the "cost" would be losing the advantage of practically guaranteed mission support and possibly floundering until they adapt to the new conditions.
But hey, you make the rules.
Those conditions are far easier to swallow than xp loss!
Though I just can't understand why this insistence of a "cost" unless this is going to be a process that can be done by anyone at any time and not just a limited thing to boost up a side. Is that what we're talking about here?

Maybe start with you can't defect a second time, or at least for some time period (say 1 year). You can add you need to move in a direction that improves balance, though this could be a little harder to prove.

You would have to re-equip and repay for it all. That could wipe some people out!

Don't get me wrong, I VERY much appreciate being asked instead of being told but in the end it's your call and usually you can be counted on to do what's best for the game.
You've been reading too much into my throw away comments lately.
Did I miss the part of the help page where the armor coefficients are listed for everyone to see? (That one was sarcasm)
Best thing about this game is anyone can play how it works for them, even if that way is to analyze it. Not everyone's goal is to be at the top of the game scoreboard.

Just curious.

Because it's you. You've said it yourself that you like to stand up to authority. And when you say things like this (and previous comments) you make me sound like a Dictator.
But for the benefit of the game, I work with you. If I need someone else to test things, I'll use you (and then ask for permission later ... probably should work on that) because I know you like to do that stuff.
See? You couldn't help yourself.
Would it appease you if I just gave you the numbers? Because I can see them now ...
As long as it's written in scarlet lettersHeck, I can even throw on a custom forum rank of "Defector" for six months or so. It doesn't have to be limited to just in-game.

Make a thread in the HMW Staff forums. Not a biggie.
