One thing which wasn't stated as clearly in the dev blog is how players will be able to aquire the new Faction modules.

ORE Expanded Cargoholds, ORE Reinforced Bulkheads and Syndicate Reinforced Bulkheads will be available from their respective LP stores.
Domination Inertial Stabilizers and Shadow Serpentis Inertial Stabilizers will be dropped from appropriate pirate NPCs.



Some additional changes have been made based on feedback and further tweaking. These changes are listed in greater detail as an update at the bottom of the dev blog.

Capacitor Power Relays
The Shield Boost Bonus error has been fixed. Type-D and Mark I modules had the value reversed.

Expanded Cargoholds
Expanded Cargohold I – Structure Hitpoint penalty reduced from -25% to -20%
Expanded Cargohold II – Structure Hitpoint penalty increased from 20% to -23%, Velocity modifier increased from -10% to -18%
These three changes should bring the T1 and T2 Expanded Cargoholds better in line with other module types, with the T2 version of a module giving the best performance but with higher drawbacks than T1.
'Basic' Expanded Cargohold – Structure Hitpoint penalty reduced from -10% to -5%. This should allow players who care more about keeping as much structure hitpoint as possible an attractive option, at the cost of cargo capacity.

Inertial Stabilizers
Inertial Stabilizers are now consistently named Inertial Stabilizers instead of some being Inertia Stabilizers and some inertial Stabilizers.
Type-D Restrained Inertial Stabilizers – Signature Radius penalty decreased from 9% to 8%

Mmmmmining!

Yummy new Cargo Expanders!! <3

edit/'Basic' modules are higher meta than Tech2?

Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU! Saving the lore is good!

Putting the Compact, Restrained, etc. before the flavour text would make the market sidebar for example a hell of a lot easier to read. Having it sorted alphabetically by the flavour text will be just as headache inducing as currently.

EDIT: The Meta 1 Cap Power Relays seem to be the wrong way round. The Shield Boost modifier is a drawback meaning one is flat out better than the other, unless I'm being tired and stupid.

So what happened to making all the faction variants equally as strong as one another as stated in CCP Fozzies first dev blog? With the new Bulkheads, Inertia Stabilizers and Power Diagnostic Systems you've gone back on what you stated was one of the goals with the module tiericide project in the first place and returned to the older 'faction tiers'.

Can we get some consistency and clarification on your approach here please?

EDIT: Good job on the names by the way.

For some of the new Faction modules we've tried to keep the overall power close to the same but make the modules better in different circumstances. For instance ORE Reinforced Bulkheads would probably be preferred on haulers due to the reduced cargo capacity penalty, whereas Syndicate Reinforced Bulkheads have a reduced Inertial Modifier which will be useful for ships that want to keep more mobility.

Pictures would say much more as the current tables.

The CPU fitting it 2 higher (20 to 22) but the Powergrid bonus is also 1% better (5% to 6%).

I like that you have added a few faction modules here. During a future round could you give some concideration on expanding the list of Gurista's deadspace modules? Specifically the Pithi and Pithum ones?

There are only 2 each of the Pithi ones but there are many for the frigate sized modules for the other pirate factions. Also, Angels have pretty much the same shield modules (though not quite as good) as the Guristas but also have other things like an afterburner and mwd. Perhaps a Pithum (a,b,c)-type ECM?

I have two criticisms of the revised naming conventions, and one observation which is linked to a question.

1. The generic terms “ample” and “restrained”, with their connotations of bosoms and BDSM respectively, and “scoped”, continue to be inappropriate to technological equipment and implausible for a highly developed and variegated future technological market. (“Scoped” is not a word. It looks like it ought to be the past participle of a verb, “to scope”, meaning, if we are to believe your use of it here, “to make reach further”. This is gibberish. The designation you are looking for is “long-range”.) These terms, as they stand, feel stupid, and they make me feel stupid fitting modules named with them to my ships. I feel like I am being talked down to by my game. I notice that since their release I have been avoiding using them, solely for that reason.

2. You are attempting to introduce a very rigid consistency into an area where it is inappropriate, and where we do not suffer from its lack IRL. This is nowhere more obvious than in the decision to call an overdrive, a module intended to be the quintessence of extra power and speed, “restrained”. This is absurd: the marketing genius of the future who came up with this would be fired instantly. A kind of cookie-cutter sameness is being applied across the board to items regardless of what those items actually are. I don’t feel you are taking your own fictional world seriously any more. I have no idea, in that case, why I should continue to.

Observation: Travelling round New Eden in recent days I’ve tried to keep an eye out for the relative prices of the generic modules from the last round of tiericide, and my sense is that there are massive price differences between the new named modules. On the assumption that, for example, “compact” LMLs are not dropping significantly less frequently than “ample” ones, I assume that in many cases one of them is much more popular and being used more widely than the other(s), and is being priced accordingly. Is this right in terms of actual usage? If it is, is it the result you were expecting when you decided to remove modules you felt were being under-used? How are you evaluating the success of module tiericide in general?
