The poll part about starbases is compounded to the point, where picking any choice just does not answer the question.

that video really blows and is totally misleading. recommend something good next time.

Great job with Oneiros CCP. It is now not skewed, I suppose some bloody galentean drunken facility crew has been fired.
Time for Imicus.

As for recons not showing on D-scan, was that really needed?

Would you say, then, that the compact LMLs have become the new Arbalests, just with better fitting stats? If that is the case, then all that the rebalancing has achieved is the replacement of one obvious t1 choice with another. Is this what the the tiericide was meant to do?

I would not say they've become the new arbalests as their RoF is significantly less than the previous meta 4. The bonus, though is that in addition to being quite a bit more affordable, the 'flavor' of compact and ample works well in relation to the previous meta, which scaled up from something useless to something absurdly expensive. Tiercide in this case was 'meant' to clean up underused and useless modules and fix drop rates for them to help with balancing use with distribution.

Here's an even better example: Ballistic Control Systems. Along with damage controls, Ballistic Control Systems have the distinction of being absurdly overpriced for literally no benefit; all the meta launchers have less damage output than the t2 and only one has less CPU (39 to be exact). While there is probably some issue with how they drop, it doesn't reflect well. While people can pay a premium for faction, deadspace and officer modules, the same should NOT be applying to meta-level items. The end hope with module tiercide for many mission remains to be balancing the loot table so the stuff dropped is actually something marginally useful instead of a giant pile of junk that's either sold for basically nothing, and for the people fitting them, not having half or more of the meta items in the variants you're using be useless, laughably expensive, or some combination of the two.

But you're not going call them that, right?

Kudos to you for participating in the forums, Terminus.

With regards to module tiericide, please don't forget that it isn't only about merging metas and tweaking stats. You also need to rebalance the module economics by looking at the BPO build cost for the T1 version, particularly relative to the reprocessing value of the metas and their drop rate from NPC wrecks. Most of those build numbers have not been tweaked since the modules were first introduced into the game.

You also need to look at the in-game supply of the metas and adjust the NPC drop rate accordingly. In most cases, when you combine all of the metas into a single meta module, it will result in a large market surplus of that combined module. Esp. if the NPCs continue to drop them at the rate of the low metas. This tends to push the price of metas down to their reprocessing value, which is always lower than the T1 build cost, since the 50-55% change to reprocessing.

Keep in mind that if the metas have better stats, identical skill requirements, plenty of supply and lower price, then the T1 versions have no place in the game.

And, thanks for reading and responding - it is greatly appreciated by all.

It have ugly part of texture in the upper front. That is my only issue with it, for the model I can't complain, As my first character was Gallente, I really wanted to fly it because it looked badass.

I don't see the reasoning for this, as meta modules are considerably more difficult to acquire in quantity than tech 2 ones.

Consider Light Neutron Blaster II, a module that is considerably better than all of the meta variants. I could produce a thousand of them in a week on just this character, logging on less than twice a day. There's probably a quarter million or more of them produced each week gamewide. On the flip side, judging from the market statistics, the meta 4 version, Modal Light Neutron Particle Accelerator I, probably only enters the game at a rate of a few thousand per week gamewide.

The scramble by the Goons to keep alliance-level stockpiles of Phased Muon Sensor Disruptor I at the beginning of the Halloween War added a lot to the game, IMO, and I say that as someone whose only interaction with that market was as a trader seeking to exploit the Goons' desperation to get them.

Had Remote Sensor Disruptor II been the overall superior choice, the Goons would have had a more steady supply of their new weapon of choice, and the market waves wouldn't have reverberated through highsec the same way.
