Make a statement regarding your decision not to buff the T2 mods to the better meta4 stats in those cases. I can not believe this is an oversight on your part. Show us you at lest know this is going to be major fitting Nerf to the game. Or you either just don't care or think we are to stupid to see what's going on here.
For the T2 mods which are worse than the Meta 4 modules, which are you referring to? I looked over the old and new stats and found only two cases where the Meta 4 module was better than the T2, and this was in Inertial Stabilizers and Capacitor Power Relays. In the IS instance, the difference was a 3% less signature radius penalty on the meta 4 variant, which doesn't affect fitting but is a slight nerf. In the CPR instance, the new Mark I Compact Capacitor Power Relay is easier to fit than the old Meta 4 module and has nearly the same stats as the old Meta 4 module with the same Shield Boost penalty and 2% less Capacitor Recharge Rate bonus. If there are other instances I've missed please let me know.
For the new faction modules, we felt there was an opportunity to add some interesting high-end modules to some module types which had no faction variation previously. Even with these new additions most module types are seeing a 33%-50% reduction in the number of modules of that type.
The ore scanner issue is not related to the dev blog or the tiericide project at all, but for the record I also think it's odd. I have no idea why it was done that way originally, and hopefully one day we'll get around to looking at them. Until then, you can do some simple math, or wait one cycle and see roughly what number of ore has been removed from the rock in question.

Tranks for the update, though I have some doubts the smaller sig penalty will help the new meta 1 inertial stabilizer much. Do you have an update on the mapping at patch day?

Thank you for responding. This means more than you can know. On tight fits the difference tween the T2 Capacitor Power Relay with the same Capacitor Recharge Rate as the Meta4 at 6 more TF. That is is a lot of CPU for a frig. And a larger ship is going to HAVE to change the fit all around for the sake of that much difference. The 2% less Capacitor Recharge Rate bonus is the same as stepping up from T2 to Faction it makes all the difference! It is a fitting nerff plan and simple. Reduced performance. The margins are Tight and to say it's ok you don't need that 2%, well, it feels like a slap in the face. These are not re-changes to some thing you guys put in last year or even 5 years ago these mods and performances have been in the game sense 2002!
"The ore scanner issue is not related to the dev blog or the tiericide project at all" http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/rebalancing-eve-one-module-at-a-time
What Modules Are We Starting With?
In Oceanus, we are starting the Module Tiericide project by applying the process to eight groups of modules. All of these modules represent fairly simple sets of changes as they do not have very many potential variations. They will serve as the launching point as we start the process of applying Tiericide to every module group in EVE.
The module groups being changed in Oceanus are:
Co-Processors Reactor Control Units Micro Auxiliary Power Cores Light Missile Launchers Capacitor Flux Coils Cargo Scanners Ship Scanners " Survey Scanners"
If it can not get fixed in the first pass it never will, cause 'mining mod'. So who cares right. How bout the 2nd pass take a look? the Ship scanner gives the exact fit and even reads said ship's Capacitor! No calculator needed. And miners can not even get a Survey Scanner that reads in a useful amount. You have to have a cheat sheet of the 16 ores, gas, and ice. Also have the dang calculator open and figure out the amounts. The cargo scanner don't need this or the Ship scanner, but they are pvp related so... go figure.

" Module Tiericide
With Module Tiericide, we are taking our aim at another set of tiers that can stifle choice: meta levels.
Our solution to this problem is to replace the meta-based named module system with a new role-based system. Each named module in a class will have roughly equivalent power level, and that power level will be above T1. Each named module will also have a specialization that gives a player interested in shopping for named modules a viable and interesting choice. As part of this system, we may consolidate a number of named modules together since we may not need four variations to represent all the areas of interesting player choice. To make it clear that meta levels will no longer represent power differences within the named modules, we will be changing all the named modules to have a meta level of 1."
This image gives a basic overview of how the meta level attribute is used now and how it will be used after Module Tiericide is complete:
http://cdn1.eveonline.com/www/newssystem/media/66535/1/MetaLevels.jpg
This is all pretty clear that ALL meta 4 mods and lower are getting the AXE. This is just the first set of mod groups that has a few Better than T2 meta4s in it and yup CCP is not transferring the the superior stats to the T2 as is the case. This "it's only 2% here and 6 CPU there so whats it matter?" Those are the huge amounts in fitting these ships and having to use faction or higher for the same fit is just plane bunk. And it is not just the 2 mods this round, the plan is all metas 1 to 4 are going away 10 at a time. Sure the lower ones are getting replaced with low lvl mods sure. But all of the Meta 4s are going away forever. Some are just better than the same type of T2 mod. Yes you and who ever answers for round 3 and 4 are going to do what ever it is you plan on doing. But I ask again why not have the Better stats go to the T2 mods in those cases? Let us keep the same fits we have been using. |

Just to clarify on the Survey Scanner issue. The reason I stated it was not part of the Module Tiericide, is that, as previously mentioned the Module Tiericide project has so far been a designer only effort. In order to change Survey Scanners to read volume instead of ore count requires at least some coding, which means it falls outside of the Module Tiericide project. Not to say it won't get done, but it won't be done by the tiericide group. |

You never fall short on gates. It's literally impossible. Your ship might still burn toward the gate if it's cloaky and you didn't decloak before coming out of warp, but that's a different issue.
As for stations... if you're hauling valuable cargo, use an instadock.

Once again thanks for getting back to me I was afraid this was the case. What threw me off was the way this "Module Tiericide project" was presented as the same as the "Ship Tiericide project". And that as you know made some radical changes to a bunch of ships, most likely with some coding involved.
http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/rebalancing-eve-one-module-at-a-time
"As CCP Ytterbium outlined in his Fanfest 2012 Balancing presentation, followed up with multiple dev blogs, the Tiericide initiative replaced those old tiers with a series of ship lines that represented distinct strengths and weaknesses for distinct roles. Each tech one ship within the same class (like GÇ£cruiserGÇ¥ or GÇ£frigateGÇ¥) post-Tiericide is intended to have roughly similar overall power, but that power can and should be expressed in a variety of forms. "
Just so I understand, the Module Tiericide project, is about the following: The re-naming of most mods, or in some cases the re-re-naming. The deletion of all Meta1 to 4 with inferior replacements. The T2 mods that are not as good as the former Meta4 equivalent, are not getting buffed. Leaving us with no option but "want the same fit you have to use Faction or better".
I feel I have come to see the light here. Now all the comparisons to the "Ship Tiericide project", had me fooled into thinking that this was to have a positive outcome. Most ships involved they were buffed here and there or had rolls and bonuses changed and an over all improvement of most ships was the result. Good options were added not taken away.
This Module Tiericide project is a diminution of fitting options of quality. Perhaps 1/3rd of the T2 mods have a superior meta4 mod of the same type. CCP you are deleting the meta4s with out buffing those T2s that were inferior, this is one of the more wide spread Nerfs to have ever happened to this game. You do understand that tricking out a T1 ship in 2 or 3 Faction mods to keep the same Performance of Fit is not cost effective with Risk vs Reward? For just one Faction mod in some cases is a dozen times or more, the expense of a T1 ship.
I am not saying 'omg this will end EVE' no it probably wont. And if you only do groups of 10 at a time you are making it less painful and obvious what you are up to. And keeping players from freaking out till you get to the mods 'they care about'. Perhaps I am just too old a vet to understand your CCP wisdom. |

Yes it is certainly a concern. One should NOT be removing meta 4 modules without considering the effect of weaker T2 modules. Whilst all players are equally affected, certain ships and roles are seriously nerfed by this action. If that is deliberate and considered, then fine, that is your choice as a game designer.
Because the effect is that you are rebalancing the ships by this action,
Is that also being passed to those who have spent a great deal of time getting the ships just as they want them? A great deal of time and effort and no doubt heartache, was spent by Fozzie, Rise, etc in getting them just so. Or are you accidentily rebalancing them through ommission
The effects here are significant. Please consider them thoroughly, and hopefully All at CCP will work towards the same goals. Hopefully that is so, but from the outside, it seems there is a disconnect going on here. |

We'd like to unify the Mining Laser names as well. This won't be out in time for Proteus but it's on my list. Inertial Stabilizers were fairly easy to change because they weren't referenced anywhere else, for example in missions or tutorial text. Mining Lasers are most likely a decent amount more work. |

T2 should offer the most power (in this case Cargo Capacity) but with the highest fitting and drawbacks. The velocity penalty was increased the most because it's the least relevant stat on the module. Before this change T2 Expanded Cargoholds were better in every way than the T1 and meta variants.
We don't want obvious fitting options, we want player to have to think about what they're going to use depending on the situation they expect to be in. Everything should have a tradeoff, be it in fitting, raw power, ISK cost, or other variables. If Structure Hitpoints and/or Velocity are a big concern to your fit, consider using the meta 1 version of the module. |

Whilst the concept is understandable, that is an almighty change. There is a fine point between interesting choices and overwhelmingly unpleasant effects. T2 is now an obvious choice to avoid now. And the non faction choices are equally undesireable. |

What about the tradeoff of T2 modules requiring significantly more skillpoints than their meta or faction counterparts? Obviously this isn't a big deal for expanded cargoholds, but things like weapons have a hefty training requirement to take advantage of T2.
Furthermore, the moves you guys are making with some of the current meta 4 modules has me really scared for when you get to EWar modules. Currently Meta 4 ECM, Damps, Tracking Disruptors, ECCM, Target Painters, Webs, Scrams, and Neuts/NOSs are better than their T2 counterparts. They have the same strength, but are easier to fit, often use less cap, and don't overheat as efficiently. While I fully agree that T2 should be better at the cost of fitting and maybe even cap use, I'm terrified that you're going to nerf the meta modules rather than buff the strength on the T2 variants.
There is no reason to use T2 EWar modules currently, but if meta 4 gets nerfed instead of T2 getting buffed, a lot of fits are going to get worse and/or harder to fit overnight. |

Existing Meta 4's should be merged with T2, not with other Meta items bought by players knowingly choosing lower bonus levels. Currently Meta 4 Expanded Cargoholds are purely worse than T2 Cargoholds (In fact all meta 1-4 modules are). However when we do the merging it's certainly an option to turn Meta 4 Expanded Cargoholds into T2 Expanded Cargoholds because of the stats similarities. If this is not implemented it will be grossly unfair to players who have bought Meta 4 modules purely on the basis of their 27.5% bonus and otherwise will have all of them downgraded to 22.5%. |

I hope that there is a realisation that players spend a great deal of time, effort, and ISK. For a percent or two of difference. It seems that absolutely massive changes to the statistics and specification of modules are being significantly underplayed.
Whilst a single percent change to a ship creates threadnaughts and very upset players, changes of an order of magnitude more are being seemingly ignored when modules are discussed.
What is going to be the effect if this thinking also applies to modules that affect combat more? Will it only be when they go live that players react? And will it end well?
I also like the idea of valid and interesting fitting choices, but on this round, I am only seeing the opportunity to try to fit the least bad choice, they are all a bad choice.
Looks like it is too late to correct this now.
I hope it does not end too badly.

Oh? So does that mean when you get to DPS mods like mag stabs that you are going to add penalties to them? Or do you guys just enjoy screwing over people who do indy, one of the least fun activities of the game? I love how consistently inconsistent you guys are with your "goals" |

given that meta 4 cargo expanders cost nothing, there seems to be no real reason to do any sort of change because anyone affected is out like two million isk max, and you're going to be stuck with a bad precedent when you make some other nerf or change and every wretched highseccer comes out with their begging bowl ranting that they deserve a handout

I'm concerned about the direction this is taking and imo this is against the proposals made by Fozzie on Fanfest. The simple linear progression of better primary stats vs. higher drawbacks we now have for some modules does not give us choices but may even reduce the number of options. The rule of thumb to follow now is, fit T2 if you have the skills and can digest the drawbacks, or else fit meta 1 and suffer from a big nerf. Where is the choice? At least I would expect two meta 1 modules with interesting stats to match certain situations ... If this requires coding, then it requires coding!
Also by mapping meta 4 -> meta 1 you nerf a significant amount of existing ship fits, be prepared for the reactions of the unaware players

I see the ORE Miner is still better or equal to the T2 version in every way. Not very consistent with your goals! All hail ORE Miner..and buy some from me please :) |

Why the nerf ?! Do suicide gankers really need so much help? This was done in order to keep them in line with other T2 modules. T2 should offer the most power (in this case Cargo Capacity) but with the highest fitting and drawbacks. The velocity penalty was increased the most because it's the least relevant stat on the module. Before this change T2 Expanded Cargoholds were better in every way than the T1 and meta variants. We don't want obvious fitting options, we want player to have to think about what they're going to use depending on the situation they expect to be in. Everything should have a tradeoff, be it in fitting, raw power, ISK cost, or other variables. If Structure Hitpoints and/or Velocity are a big concern to your fit, consider using the meta 1 version of the module.
My proble is the following. If this gets implemented after the patch I need to spend alot more isk on my hauler/freighter to perform the way it is now. The more expensive the fitting the higher chance of suicide ganking. Also it is well know that PVE modules are alot more expensive and more rare by choice of CCP (Limited Expanded 'Archiver' Cargo I is average around 150 mil !!!). What is the planned price for ORE expander?
There is another solution. Keep t2 expanders as they are now and modify all the other modules to be in line. |
