Nope. It's an update of Crius that you have not heard about yet.

Nice job cherry picking.

I'm sorry. Please explain how the premise of your post being incorrect somehow makes the rest of your post relevant. I'll wait.

EDIT: wth! I had no idea you could fit t2 mods w/o the reqs lol - it still shows in game as though you require the skills to fit them! Why would CCP leave it like that?

In this case faction mods should equal the DED for bonus, but without the reduction in drawback.

Not sure what you're talking bout. For example medium Trimark requires armor rigging IV for t2, only I for t1.

Pick a (small) rig you have no skills with. Pick a frigate of your choice. Buy T2 rig. Try putting it on the ship. Try undocking in the ship. Be amazed that the "requirement" tab has no meaning.

This is because the requirement tab used to be what was required to fit the rig: you could always fly a rigged ship, with the rigs online (because there is no way to put them offline) no matter what your skills were. In Crius, they let people fit modules even if they didn't have the skills to aid the ease of putting ship contracts together. This meant that the rig requirements ceased to apply for anything.

Edit: If you think about it, that would have been the fatal flaw with your faction rig idea anyway: why pay the premium for T1 fitting requirements when you could have just get a corpmate to fit the actual T2 rig for you?

Anyways....I posted a suggestion few posts ago for if the skill requirements are in fact the same (although as far as I can tell they are not).

I would reverse it. Make the faction rigs have the same stats as the T2, only with less drawback or lower fitting requirements.
