Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Nearly every weapon upgrade system has a faction and/or even Officer version to it.

Missile Guidance Computer and Enhancer are still new (in eve time scale).
Wouldn't it be a good option to introduce higher Meta versions of these ?

Currently there is only T1 , Compact, and T2 for booth.
Which seems a little dissapoiting ... cause "options"

The typical increases in effectivness is already a well know calculation for CCP.

Benefits:
More fitting options
More LP Store Items
Indirect buff for Missile ships

Drawbacks:
Maybe edge cases on Phoenix and Leviathan against Subcaps (cant calculate it, so its only a speculation)

Problems:
Dev worktime (and we know that's the most valuable resource in Eve - and possibly the reason these aren't existing already)


Are there any things that slipped my mind, i'm happy to learn new things :)

i am sorry maybe i got missunderstood.

I didnt ask for more options between T1 and T2.

I was suggesting Faction and Officer versions.
Meta mods above T2.
Caldary Navy, Domination, Republic Fleet, Officer

Yes eventually all these will be built by players best not to add more till that's in place. They have already stated with capital mods. (Now we just have to hope something shiny doesn't distract them)

CCP is currently in the middle of a module tiercide. In my opinion, they should add no new variations to existing modules until this is complete and we have transitioned from loot drops to player built using named components for meta modules.

With limited resources I would rather they invest effort cleaning up the loose ends from all the stuff they added to the sandbox last year rather than balancing new modules that will probably need to be rebalanced when tiercide is complete!

@Lugh Crow-Slave:
Sorry what ?

How should a modul that helps for Missiles DPS application or/and Range be a NERF ?

You maybe should explain your worries, indstead of posting twice "its a nerf" and hope for someone to catch onto the phrase.

It would speed up the process and clears possibly missunderstandings faster (from booth sides)

because i'm almost board repeating myself


at current the max application possible is what all these modules are balanced around. should you want to add mods that are better in any way it will mean nerfing the current ones to achieve this so as nothing becomes over powered. Many of us tried to explain this when ppl asked for a missile tracking computer. The end resault was when they were added you now have to give up more tank or more utility to get back to where you were before they were added and to top it off you also need to worry about disruptors. MGE effectively nerfed every missile ship in the game and this will just further nerf the MGE in order to keep things balanced.

Unless you can make a good argument as to how the current max rang/application needs to be raised the only way to add better mods is to make them the same as the current ones and then make the current ones worse


And then if you can do that and these mods are balanced you have to make the argument as to why faction mgd do not need to be added. If MGD do get added you leave any missile ship not fitting the new MGE vulnerable something that again would be a nerf to missiles

... if that was the case they could make them fleet and eom or tribe
