gaps in the loot table?

i was testing out fittings the other day, and i noticed i had a high slot free, on a ship with lots of utility highs, but i had no powergrid left,
then i thought, hey, i can fit a micro smart bomb there i bet, i can bother drones with that or something.. *checks market* um, 60m isk?
ok then, it's stupid to even check if that idea will work...

i'm pretty sure noone misses things like basic mining lasers,
but a few of these micro modules were actually useful,
does anyone else miss them?

same to meta levels of a few things, like the auto targeter, they take less to fit then the T1, but not for sale anywhere, they dont drop
harvester mining drones, it's a mining drone that's medium instead of small like normal mining drones, they are slightly better then T2, and... worth 120m EACH.. because they dont drop anymore.. yeah.. no..

personally i would much rather have loot be slightly more complex, then having modules be so rare that even IF you find one, it will be more expensive then the ship you want it for..

is there any "good" from having gaps in the loot table?

to be fair i think there was some complaining about "useless" items that noone EVER used, but that was mostly the "basic" stuff, which personally i would like to see renamed to "civilian" and put back in, but i dont really miss that stuff

what i REALLY miss is meta versions of things like the auto targeter, and all the "micro" modules, like micro smartbombs

**** basic modules.

As someone that has made a habit about helping newbs with fittings and with EVE in general I want to stab every last one of those things.

the basic modules can go die in a fire yes(and should be renamed "civilian" imo, to hint at their uselessness), many of the micro modules however i DO miss

named auto targeters take 0 cpu and could make a difference in many tight fits, but for some reason there is only T1 and T2, the meta versions are gone
i also want to know why we cant have the harvester mining drone, it's only 30m3(T2 is 25) so improvement is very little, it's a medium drone, so harder to fit in ships, but they dont drop at all anymore, and are thus worth 120M EACH now

Harvester drones are a relic of a past long ago. No idea, why those were removed from game

It's us, not the system.

Full it with Meta 4, upgrade to T2 according to extra PG and CPU.

We don't do that though. We zerg fit.

I just want to see some officer drone modules - they must have a drop rate on the order of 1/100 of the other officer modules for whatever reason, not to mention that even if you do get a drop there is a 2/5 chance of it being nearly worthless (drone nav computer and drone control unit) and a 1/5 chance of it being mediocore (drone link aug)

yeah, it's one of those things that i dont see why they need to be gone?
personally, i would make them storyline drops, or ORE faction items..
