Item boons! How to deal with this...

[TKF]

Well, perhaps the tech restriction idea is good, unlocking more powerful weapons/items, as the tech upgrades increases. Thus the access to greater items must be unlocked by increasing the teams techlevel. But that will come in conflict with -noup mode, will create delay for getting the items. But I think a vote must be raised about this if you're serious about implementing this tech requirement restriction thing.
