Are still inconsistent on ABs and MWDs in terms of stats:name ratio.

I did bug report this but it got tossed, like all my other well-written reports. =_=

Last I checked, all prototypes are meta 4, experimentals are meta 3, limited are meta 2, and upgraded are meta 1. What is the inconsistancy?

I'm not sure if you mean the same thing I've been feeling sideways about, Kyoko, but I'd like to add something:

I know there is no "true" right or wrong between, say, Prototype and Experimental. However, I find it peculiar how Limited is higher than Upgraded. In a sense sure, Limited can mean Rare (aka "Limited edition") and thus valuable, but limited more commonly suggests that something is literally limited, weak in power, or something similar. The common use of "upgraded" means it has improved power/etc. In a way it's not a big deal, but I might venture to guess that hundreds of people a day buy the 1mn Upgraded Microwarpdrive, thinking it's higher-quality than the Limited 1MN Microwarpdrive. Looking at it flatly, What sounds better: Limited, or Upgraded? Maybe we can suggest to make "Limited" Meta 1 and make "Upgraded" meta 2. Or, rework the names so it's a bit more obvious; or, at least less counter-definitive.

In my opinion, it may be causing a lot of people to grab meta-1 Upgraded variants, which causes said players to pass off and ignore - or even avoid - a higher-quality meta 2 "Limited" variant. Maybe I'm wrong; though, I think I really want to agree with the people I've heard from about this.

Yours,

Just checked the newest build, yes this was fixed.

Although the order is still cooky.
