I really like the new "compact" options, that have been lacking. The storyline modules have been buffed to compensate the loss of their fitting superiority, so it's fine.

However, as has been stated very early on in this post, I recommend that the maximal speed is not increased here. If you want to make higher meta modules faster, that's great, but nerf the lower tier modules instead of buffing the higher tier ones. The very last thing we need is even more speed.

How about having the order of the name be
nMN [Modifier Name] [Flavor Name] [MWD|AB]

So that when I search for "5MN Restrained" I get exactly the module I was looking for?

I'm currently reading this whilst traveling in a car (as a passenger, don't call the whoop whoop space police) on an iPhone so I haven't read that obscene wall of text.
However I'm pleased that module tiercide has made it to the real meaty modules.

I was expecting prop miss to get fully fleshed out though. Currently there aren't enough meta modules to fill each potential role.
I would have liked to have seen this:
Tech one gives x speed boost for y capacitor and z fitting (MWD cap penalty w)
Compact gives x+5% speed for y+10% capacitor and z-20% fitting
Enduring gives x+5% speed for y-25% capacitor and z+10% fitting
Improved gives x+15% speed for y+30% capacitor and z+20% fitting
(MWD) Restrained gives x+5% speed for y+5% capacitor z+10%fitting and w-20%
Tech two gives x+20% speed for y+15% capacitor and z+20% fitting (MWD w-20%)

As you can see, there are substantial benefits and drawbacks to each module giving people actual and meaningful choice.

That's just my two cents though

I really don't like seeing the speed boost going even higher. There are already too many too fast ships flying around these days.

Also, I thought module tiericide was intended to make the meta versions greater to the meta 0 in one area, and then weaker in other areas. Are you ever going to implement something like that, CCP?

That tiny speed increase is nice to see.
most of these people don't remember the old 625% mwd's...

The names.. too far.

Limited 1mn Compression drive
Limited 1mn Endurance drive
Limited 1mn Reduction drive


Experimental 10mn Compression drive
Experimental 10mn Endurance drive
Experimental 10mn Reduction drive

Prototype 100mn Compression drive
Prototype 100mn Endurance drive
Prototype 100mn Reduction drive

is less of a mouthfull

Would it be possible to keep the size and the "Afterburner" or "Microwarpdrive" together? It makes buying them easier (you can simply search for "10mn afterburner" and find all of them.

So for example "Cold-Gas Enduring 500MN Microwarpdrive" instead of "500MN Cold-Gas Enduring Microwarpdrive".

Besides that - I like it, and I think you've struck a good balance between conserving flavor and adding clarity.

Nice to see that t2 mwds are actually faster now. But really do we need more speed creep in eve? it feels like ships are super fast right now and that creates some problems in my opinion. In a vacum they might be okish whats most important is what you guys are planning to do with links since they heavily affect this as well. For certain ships these changes might be terrifying though. Garmurs doing 10k m/s or stilettos burning 100km and tackeling you before you can lock them.


This. Kiting is already the go-to meta.

A: We want show there is a clear increase in power between Afterburners and Microwarpdrives. It also makes searching the market a little easier.

A: This -

"Experimental 10MN Afterburner I" become "10MN Monopropellant Enduring Afterburner"

thanks for breaking all fittings on wikis/forums etc, also ruining legacy archies, history killmails

Flavor text is an unnecessary gimmick, not to mention AB's and MWD's didn't previously have any. Please don't obfuscate for no reason, or if you do keep it to storyline modules. Restrained/compact/enduring is fine.

The 450% sig radius bloom MWD's are really cool. Might make MWD HAC's more popular.

Please try not to mess up the deadspace ballance.

Gistum MWDs need more power to fit, more GJ for activation and are slower now compared to other one. Thats not really what I would consider fair.

Making other modules usable is good but dont screw it up. After the changes there would be no reason for using angel MWDs

Prop mods had flavour text a few years back before they were renamed to the current conventions, this is restoring many of the old names.

Oh but they did. Many years ago. CCP removed it because they thought it was confusing and needless. That's how we ended up with Limited/Experimental/Prototype prop mods.

Ships are already too fast. With links and snakes it's trivial to make frigates outspeed anti-frigate weapons like warriors and light missiles. Don't even get me started on ships going 10km/s on a 1Hz server. Please either keep them as is or nerf the weaker MWDs.

Um, under this naming format you could just search for the thrust category - querying just "10mn" on the market search would bring up all the Cruiser-sized afterburners.

Why make the names harder to understand instead of what you've been doing recently that tried to tune down the silly names?
1MN Y-S8 Compact Afterburner seriously?

open market window

"10mn"

half the prop mods don't show up.

the 5/50/500MN stuff is bad, don't do it.
