hi,

i've a couple of storyline bpc's and i'm confused about the benefits over normal bpcs, for example...

"micro 'trapper' shield extender", is meta 6, yet has exactly the same capabilities as 'micro F-S9 regolith shield induction", which is meta 4. in fact micro trapper is worse than the T2/meta5 mod.

same applies for "'undertaker' heavy missile launcher", although some capabilites are better, its capacity is the same as a meta1 unit.

same goes for 'Gambler' Phase Inverter, in almost every way its less effective than the T2 mod, yet its meta6.

anyway, would love to know if i'm missing the point, or are they in need of buff ?

many storyline mods are junk. but a few are goodish with way lower fitting costs, so people will pay good isk to get them for a unique fit.

Most of them have lower fitting requirements. There's a few that have good attributes as well but you're right, most of them definitely need to be rebalanced / buffed to come up to specs when compared to other modules.

I personally see them as collectors pieces for the completionist or collector, something to say I've finished the COSMOS stories. I would never fit them.

It's one of these things abandoned by CCP. CCP introduced T2, and didn't bother balance it with existing items.

As someone else said, they're mostly not serious modules. I tend to build and fit them for fun, but don't use them for serious pve or peeveepee... It's an ego boost to ride a COSMOS-fit pirate ship. :)

An expensive ego boost.

In terms of the storyline shield extenders, they have a lower sig radius increase compared to their meta 4 counterparts.

Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012.
