I agree that the primary issue with this system is the complexity. It is something we have tried very hard to mitigate. Unfortunately it is quite heavy and as such, there are some misunderstandings and assumptions going on. I’ve got a dozen other questions to get to here so I won’t go too deep but the short version is that we don’t intend for switching to be a common thing to do but rather a safeguard to prevent players from wasting their time in one and deciding that they want to switch.
Edit: Our community has also made it very clear that there is something between SSF and free trade that is extremely desired by a very significant portion of the community.
