Trying to make them like the DUST514 progression system.

Basic, advanced, prototype and officer. With some being purchased with AUR that require lower skills and other that have to be bought with ISK and LP.

All the named are AUR purchased, officer or LP bought. http://dust514.wikia.com/wiki/Assault_Rifles

This one may be easier to understand because the stats are on a spreadsheet. http://wiki.dust514.info/index.php?title=Assault_Rifle

Who cares. Right now you either use "best meta" or tech2. They might as well named modules "Tech1 blaster", "best meta blaster" and "tech2 blaster".

With metacide or whatever, at least thered be more variation and actual reason for hundreds of items to exist in the game regardless of names

When i first read the devblog i was happy to see the changes but after thinking this over I very much agree with you, especially when looting NPC wrecks one should find a bunch of modules with interesting names and not this crap.

Maybe they could use this new system but take the names from old meta modules? For example if there are 2 named modules post patch they could simply have the current meta 3 & 4 names.

Losing these names would be a loss to game immersion and makes EVE less real.

Or maybe go with the Dust system, there different guns are named after manufacturers, that wouldn't be a bad system at all and we can learn for example that Zoar and Sons builds lasers that take less PG.

i didnt mind naming all i noticed was the T2 version is lett bonus's that one of the named flux xoils

Capacitor Flux Coil II
Capacitor Capacity Multiplier – 20% (was 10%)
Capacitor Recharge Rate Multiplier – 39% (was 26%)
CPU – 14 (was 22)

Type-D Power Core Modification: Capacitor Flux is now Restrained Capacitor Flux Coil
Capacitor Capacity Multiplier – 25% (was 10%)
Capacitor Recharge Rate Multiplier – 41% (was 22%)
CPU – 10 (was 19)

Now that I think about it, shouldn't that thing be out of the prototype stage by now?

I see both sides of it but what you're somewhat missing here is - single vendor, single line naming. Multiple vendors, multiple lines.

M4, HK 37, AK-101, FAMAS, SIG 530, 540 and 550 ...

All 5.56x45mm NATO based AR's - all differently named, numbered, etc.

Shall we go into ATI vs NVIDIA video cards instead? How about SSD drives?

So when you deal with a single sourcing or the like, you can expect consistency but when you start branching to varied suppliers, you rarely come across consistent naming conventions.

I'm neither for nor against a renaming gig but supposedly the systems in this game are from different vendors/manufacturers - in which case, they most probably wouldn't be consistently named and numbered.

Then lets consider that it's the marketing agency who enforces a naming convention on the manufacturers in order for their customers to be able to compare products accurately
RP arguments are easy to come by either way. The relevant question is the system, and right now the system does not allow proper searches by module name for all variants, the proposed system does, so that's a huge improvement in actual functionality.
Provided that new clear functionality is good, I don't mind if RP elements are also added, but I want to be able to search for a module using the T1 name and get all variants. Not have to memorise 5 different names to search for. And I want to see at a glance what those modules benefits are, again not have to memorise hundreds of different names for all the different modules.

I support module tiercide. It would actually make meta 1-3 modules useful.

I also support changing the names of meta modules. When I first started, I thought 'prototype' cannons were crap. Ya know, because they were prototypes, and not the real thing. I wonder how many newbies made the same mistake of swapping meta 4s for crappy T1 modules because of their names.

Names like "efficient" "eco" "enhanced" make sense. Ample.....that naming convention needs more pssshhh

Spaceship tiericide coming soon(tm). Straight



Far too complicated a set of ships!

For tiericide to be truly progressive we need to achieve a state where you get:

-Ship, Space Type, 1 each.

Addition of various modules will create

-Ship, Space Type, Weapons System=Missiles
-Ship, Space Type, Weapons System=Lasers
-Ship, Space Type, Weapons System=Hybrid
-Ship, Space Type, Weapons System=Dakka
-Ship, Space Type, Stealth
-Ship, Space Type, Cargo

All weapons systems can add drones at the expense of 50% of the weapons system DPS.

All weapons systems will deliver identical DPS, the only variations being sound and particle effects differences

Module tiericide is good.

Naming conventions is good.


But...


The actual names suck pretty bad.

Yeah, we are losing some things. And good riddance. These 'the old ways are better because I shouldn't have to adapt!" threads are really getting tiresome and pathetic. There is no choice in the current system. All they're doing is making the market interface easier to sort through.


But this useless complexity was fun! I remember when I first learned about meta, and I remember how much time I spent reading about different modules to find the one that was meta4. Sure, I could have just clicked "Variations" (or whatever it's called) and check each - but it was easier to go to 3rd party website and read through all of them, looking at stats and comparing them. Finding Photonic CPU Enhancer was simply great!

Now? Now I'm gonna remember what ample or whatever is, and that's all. I'm gonna always know which module is the one I'm looking for. Dumbing down the game? Definitely. Is it good? I'm against. Not a game breaker, but it's just sad. If someone doesn't want to put a minimum effort to learn about different version names of meta0 module - it's his problem, not dev's. We shouldn't have to adapt? But adapt to what really? To 3-4 new words used for naming every module all across the range? That's adaptation? Laughable.

But it's all about money, let's face it...
