How is calling a neut a gremlin going to give the game more flavour? Or do you want CCP to introduce high-sec raids where you can roll need for a Heavy Dastardly Prone Energy Neutralizer of the Fang?

if only you could give names to your neuts Cool

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

The flavor names actually make it easier to look things up. Take the neuts for instance: If you enter "unstable" in the market (or after the changes "Infecti", you get only these neuts displayed in the market and nothing else. Whereas with your system, you would need to enter a lot more text in the search box to get relatively limited results. So get lost with your ignorance!

What you just suggested is a daft exaggeration with no merit. The current naming scheme has lots of benefits, as outlined above. If you cannot see it, that's your problem and no reason to ruin the game.

Will the Curse/Pilgrim receive any powergrid increases to compensate for making T2 neuts now mandatory? They're already stupidly tight on fittings as is...

personally i would like too see the curse be a proper khanid ship and swap drone bonuses for missile bonuses, might encourage missiles+neut fits it might even make armour tanking it possible or using T2 neuts, but defo needs more pg either way.

sorry if I can't read

effectiveness falloff, right. you're making it so the neut amount is like 50% at optimal + 1 falloff, correct? as opposed to all the other falloffs in game where it's accuracy falloff, giving you a chance to miss, right?

Nice to see T2 neuts will now actually be worth using over meta 4.

I would like to see more variations though. Compact and restrained especially.

Then how about CCP use a descriptive word, that is unique to neuts/nos, that doesn't sound like some raid gear?

It is far from a daft exaggeration when you initially said these awful words add "flavour" and that the game would become "mindnumbingly boring" if heaven forbid, the names did not sound like WoW rejects.

For instance the existing Unstable Power Flucturator and 5/0/00W. However, I do not see why Gremlin is a bad descriptive word for one of the neuts. The description in the link fits the purpose of this mod quite well.

Something not related to this directly:

Will you add the same optimal/falloff behaviour to existing EWar modules with optimal/falloff? Or will it be one big mess that new players start crying when you try to explain it?

Will neut drones change in any way? Will they get the falloff?

I'm not exactly sure what's the intended effect of this change, it just seems that cap-using fits are even less viable after this goes live, which wasn't really necessary.

Is there any chance of buffing the officer versions of these mods a little more than their deadspace counterparts to better reflect the postion in the whole meta system? like reduced fitting requirements? or more ewar power? but the other changes are awesome tbh

I'd just ignore ignorant twits like this guy. Some people, young and with small intellectual scope, try to relate everything to computer games. World of Warcraft (WoW) is a common target. I know this because recently what are now known as 'polarised' weapons, prior to their release, were to be called 'blighted' weapons. While I agree this is a poor choice of name, a huge number of people objected because it made them think of 'Dungeons & Dragons' themes (rather than objecting to space-themed weapons being compared to diseases of plants!) It turns out that was also the fault of WoW (I lacked the patience to figure out the exact connection; one hopes it's nothing to do with skeletons and the Irish potato blight, that would be repugnant).
