I came across a "basic" damage control (linky http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Basic_Damage_Control) on contracts & they cost a fortune!!! I can't remember ever getting a "basic" module drop ever. Do they drop or have they been phased out in a previous expansion?

Many thanx in advance Big smile

They still drop but are incredibly rare - they also have rather low fitting requirements, which helps in part to explain the price

As far I know its more because of their rarity/collectors value that pushes the price up rather than because of any actual use. All the basic modules are really really terrible in terms of stats but don't need any skills.

^^ Right


Additionally - an interesting little sidenote that I just noticed now. If you look at the 'Variations' tab for the Basic Damage Control, you'll see that it exists in it's own little tech tree...no mention of T2 or COSMOS variations, just other T1 variants.

Intruiging!

very tight frigate fittings, but even then the meta dc's are usually better

Yeah it doesn't have a meta level which is a bit strange. Where / what sort of ship drops these items?

It doesn't fit under the normal meta tree because it is a 'basic' version of the tech-1 tree, according to CCP. Still confusing if you ask me.

As to what drops them... I'm pretty sure it's faction rats like Shadow, Dominion, True Sansha etc, which are themselves rare. Rare^2.
