Because if one has scientific advancement as a game feature, balance has to eventually be ignored. Just as there was no down side (beside cost and availability) to the metallic cartridge replacing the muzzle loader, and again. none when smokeless powder obsoleted black powder, there is not always a NERF needed to "balance" something.
Star League Tech is BETTER than what came before. Clan Tech will be BETTER than it (which is why everyone rolls with the power creep and wants to drive MadCats). The only limiting factors are economy, availability and sustainability, concepts that get the entitled gaming community up in arms (it's P2W!!!!!!).
Indeed... whoever has the larger military budget usually DOES win......
Yeah, i guess Games Workshop does the same thing with the 40k races, over time they change. Except that GW usually just says the old stuff never existed
