I have thought over the last week or so about the loot drops from ratting missions. I thought it would be great to have some rats drop tech 2 modules. Am I the only one that has thought is? What would be the problem if this was in the game?

Hopefully you are indeed the only person to think that.

The problem is that t2 mods are complicated, difficult to produce, expensive, and require limited resources in the form of moon goo to produce.

Letting t2 mods drop from rats would by pass this entire process, and do terrible things to the t2 market if the mods dropped at all commonly.

The entire t2 market from start to finish is in the hands of capsuleers. Where exactly would rats have gotten their hands on these mods anyway?

You really need to PvP to get any chance of Tech II loot dropping.

I would hate to see these added to NPC rats.

Cloaking is the closest thing to a "Pause Game" button one can get while in space.

I say no to increasing the relevance of NPC interaction! We need more player interaction, not less!

The problem would be, like others have already told you, the total collapse of the T2-market and the obliteration of all of T2-industry. Really, even CCP isn't dumb enough to do this just after several expansions dealing with industry and invention.

Adding T2-modules to the loot drops from rats would simply make all that hard development work evaporate because no-one could build stuff below cost anymore with cheap loot flooding the market. So most people would stop doing industry alltogether.

Also I guess moon goo would lose a lot of worth (not everything, as long as T2-ships don't drop, too).
