Why not simply drop meta 1-3 and NOT screw up ship fittings by leaving meta4 in place.
Call them all upgraded. I mean really, upgraded, compact, enduring, ample, scoped, restrained, what did you steal that from wow jewelcrafting? You forgot a few, accurate, adept, bold, bracing........... |

You are removing choice in the name of ... choice? And yet when your game is on the verge of having a fight to the death with TWO major competitors you dumb it down. Other games tried this, it cost them upwards of 50% of their subscriptions. Heed well the story of the NGE.
What is happening here is simple and easy to see, you ****** up invention making it too easy and accessible and you need to drive T2 sales to keep the invention monkeys happy. So you reduce the effectiveness of meta, you run faction/deadspace up in price by making modules that currently are useless usable (therefore making the nullbears on the CSM happy) and **** the newbie.
You also use balance on weapon systems to hide the complete **** up you are making of Interceptors. Like the Drake, you take the easy route instead of admitting your failure (another trait of a failing corporate structure by the way) and dealing with the problem.
(Fozzie says:) No, no...trust me, you'll like that your Drake is worthless in the end  Wait till this guy gets to guns..you're really gonna love that!!!!
Ahh, fozzie and drake, that explains a lot. |

Amarrian modules
Upgraded/Ample - Amarr Constructions
Scoped - Imperial Armaments
Compact - Zoar and Sons
Enduring - Carthum
Restrained - Viziam
Caldarian modules
Upgraded/Ample - Caldari Constructions
Scoped - Caldari Steel
Restrained - Perkone
Enduring - Rapid Assembly
Compact - Top Down
Gallentean modules
Upgraded/Ample - Allotek
Compact - Chemal
Restrained - CreoDron
Enduring - Duvolle
Scoped - Roden
Minmatarian modules
Upgraded/Ample - Core Complexion
Enduring - Freedom Extension
Compact - Boundless Creation
Restrained - Eifyr
Scoped - Six Kin
The modules would get a name based on what race it belongs to (same as invention interfaces)
As example here are the devblog items:
Allotek Co-Processor
Zoar and Sons Reactor Control Unit
Zoar and Sons Micro Auxiliary Power Core
Top Down Light Missile Launcher
Caldari Constructions Light Missile Launcher
Freedom Extension Cargo Scanner
Six Kin Cargo Scanner
This is the whole thing laid out in a table.

A number of issues with their approach (and possible solutions) have been raised and described quite eloquently in the comments above, I won't dwell on those other than I do agree with the general discussion so far.
Instead, i wish to discuss two other issues that have been lightly touched on:
A) user-manufactured T1 modules are basically useless/valueless compared to higher metas, and will become even more-so.
B) if all rat-dropped modules are now to be "useful", the rarity and therefore value of them will go through the floor.
Yea, they likely will just drop them out of the loot table and not adjust to make up for it.
Think drone regions.
I think they're all playing wow. |

Seriously, this is going to be the third time I've had to learn/relearn module names. I'm not upset by this and neither should you, ya big whiny babies. What do you care about naming conventions? You never see them. Your ships are fit for you (you never see the modules) You undock when you are told (you don't know what ship you are in) you press F1 when you are instructed ( you don't know what you are firing) In short, you are bad at this game and we all discount what you and your ilk write out of hand. Even your tear collecting jar is a hand me down from a comrade who moved on 
This is epic. |
