Fozzie has mentioned it, essentially the answer is that its on the list of things to do but lower down the priority list than ship hull balancing.

Oh yes. Many. Please search on the topic.

What exactly would you have done here?

Forcing people to actually having to read stats, and figure things out is terrible.

I don't really think this one is a problem

Meta stuff can be collected with belt ratting and tech2 has to be manufactured.

If you have a boat the has 4 less cpu points to fit a tech2 scram, you might want to take a meta one.

Nosferatu modules, exact same stats except for T2 requiring higher fitting.

depending on mod there can be several small differences in them. Granted small but it can add up depending on goal(s) in mind.

Also look at this way, several meta's almost the same creates competiion on markets. Keeps the pvp cheaper since one meta seller can't gouge for price when another meta seller jsut a hair off in stats is doing 50% discount. Of it they gouge anyway...buy the cheaper one.


Rest of this my usual don't hate the meta, hate the sellers. They price to sell, people like me take them up on their kind offer. Extra minutes in eft can save isk and may find a better fit. And as always have the skills to use t2 anyway. Got the skill...don't matter what the name of the gear you are using is. Unless guns ofc, about the only thing I generally follow t2 or fail fit rules on. At least for pvp.

this.


I like the variety as well. Even a mix up of basic meta gear at least makes vanilla rifter have some variety in the vanilla. I'll take french vanilla rfiter as it were even if its only scram a over scram B or web b over web c.

Besides, its eve. Eve is all about the out of game stuff as well in game, the metagame. May as well make that meta more literal with some liberal use of eft(or other tool of choice) and playing with meta gear in eft.
