1. I think you're off topic here now, or at least off the point. 2. I honestly had considered pushing to remove the lien altogether, but that seemed boring. Why not give the players a choice to bring a little extra to help them out? 3. I'm pretty sure they already moderate credit upgrades, this wouldn't be so different. Though I would prefer to avoid the need for this and just have players keep track of the 2-3 extra equipment they decide to bring on a mission. 4. Not the shiny syndrome, being able to access a shop isn't new to any one of you, in fact all of you have accessed a shop before, and we even have another one called the Credits Shop in the RP. Rather, it's more like the "I don't like new things" syndrome. You're adverse to change or additional features, because you feel things may change or something else. You don't think rationally about it, you don't like it. But I will push that again, it's under construction. There is still a lot of work to be done before it will work for this RP. While you don't like this at all, you're still a player in this RP, so I will listen and respond. I won't ignore you or anyone who has something to say. I only hope what you have to say is constructive, but we can't have everything.
