As part of our continued module tiericide project, we are planning on applying consolidation and balance changes to Shield Rechargers, Shield power Relays, and Shield Flux Coils. Please note there is no definitive time frame for these changes to go out at the moment.
The general principles behind module tiericide are as follows:
Goals of Module Tiericide
- Reduce unnecessary complexity
- Provide meaningful options within the module set
Structural Changes
- Consolidate 'Named' modules from meta levels 1-4 into two variants within meta level 1 - a 'compact' variant and a 'restrained' variant
- Maintain the general positioning and power level of Tech II variants in the families
- Place 'Storyline' variants in a place that is somewhere between the 'compact' and Tech II variants in terms of relevant stats
- Bring the power level of Shield Flux Coils up closer to the power of Shield Power Relays.
- Add new Faction variants to increase meaningful options tied to ISK price
Notes
Naming Signifiers GÇô The modifiers used by this set of modules are Compact (lower fitting requirements) and Restrained (lower penalties)
Flux Coil Recharge Rates GÇô Because Shield Flux Coils reduce your overall Shield amount, the calculations for their actual shield recharge rate are slightly more complicated. The actual recharge rates have been listed as additional information beside the modules stats.
Proposed Module Changes
Shield Rechargers
Shield Rechargers - Tiericide Spreadsheet
Shield Power Relays
Shield Power Relays - Tiericide Spreadsheet
Shield Flux Coils

Release Plan
As previously stated, these changes have no current release plan. They are unlikely to be released in the Aegis release in July, but are more likely to come out in the release after that.

Still don't like meta modules providing superior stats compared to T1.
There is no reason to use T1 over meta.
meta should provide different pro's and con's with T1 being the base line. |

@Nagarythe, the advantage with T1 modules is that you can manufacture them yourself. For some circumstances, that's enough of a benefit. If you want better modules (the meta ones) you have to go ratting or go shopping. |

Yay ish sticky now!
But seriously, can we cut the crap with all this stalling and do t3's and sentries?? Nothing can be really balanced while t3's and sentries are so broken. Really this is all wasted effort until the real problems are fixed. Hint: shield recharges are not the major issue.

Do you have any plans for the meta levels 2-4?
If not, please consider to distribute the variants across them, like "Compact" = Meta 1, "Restrained" = Meta 2 and so on...
This would make it easier to filter the inventory for the different mods.

Once the module tiericide project is complete, it is very likely we will rework meta levels to remove the gaps. Until then we feel leaving the gaps is a better option than having two systems working simultaneously.

Shield rechargers need a massive boost! I'm surprised you've missed that one  . They are competing with EM wards, Shield extenders, Invulns... There is little reason to fit them on passive tanked ships. Please reconsider their stats 
Shield Power Relays stats seem fine to me.
Shield Flux Coils, I was expecting a massive boost as well, reduction of shield capacity is so opposed to passive shield tanking efficiency that there is currently no use for these modules. Not with such stats. You should buff them quite extensively, or swap their penalty for something else perhaps? Maybe more sig radius? Or less total Capacitor? Or less Powergrid?

Shield power relay and shield Flux coils still seems pretty underwhelming. They are hardly used in any fits, and probably still won't

dont really agree t1 is for t2 production if you ask me...
though if it were up to me... i would have t2 meta versions...
that would really make things interesting.
Think about a tech II 425 compressed coil gun... almost takes no cap to use but has 80% damage of regular tech II 425
There are no stupid Questions... just stupid people...

Yes in nearly all cases the only use for a T1 module is to be used in T2 manufacture. It would have been nice if there had been at least some reason to use them; for instance make them the compact version. Although I'll live with the status quo and just continue to view them as components for manufacture.

If the figures are correct for %shield per second more then the flux coils are all far too similar. The decision then comes down to fitting or raw hp to survive alpha, in which case only the basic is worth considering. The idea of tiericide is to create more viable choices, this time round you seem to have squashed them all from the current 'only T2 is worthwhile, to 'only cosmos basic is worthwhile'. |

The general principles behind module tiericide are as follows:

I think you guys need to work on this a bit. Faction variants that are tied to one source typically mean that premiums are paid above and beyond what makes logical sense for the benefit compared to other modules that have multiple faction variants.
I think each module should have at least one pirate and one navy variant, with the possibility of several of each.
Granted, I also think dead space variants should be added as well. |

Passive recharge is really a good argument if the range 20-40% of max shields is big enough that individual volleys can't punch you through there. Shield flux coils sorta help massively with that, from the aggressor's POV.
In pvp, a battlecruiser's+ volley (or a set of heavy drones) easily is 2k upwards.
In pve, many sites got sentries dealing massive blasts on warp-in and then every so often afterwards. Since your recharge tank only kicks in at low shields, sentries or low-RoF missile-heavy ships present disqualify flux coils more often than not.
If the Flux Coil Shield-HP penalty would be stacking penalized like a CPR's shield boost malus, that'd help a lot and maybe could even make for more agreeable recharge fits that, while more susceptible to ganks, could use MWDs in sites or do multiple longer warps in rapid succession. |

First: Good work on the rechargers and power relays!
Second: Flux coils are totally of balance. You calculated recharge gain and balanced only with that in mind.
Tech II would now work 24,3% more effective for recharge while it takes 150% more CPU and has 200% more HP-drawback than basic making it utter crap compared to it.
I suggest:
CPU Recharge HP %Shield
T1 20 25 -15 13,3
Mark I 15 27 -15 16,4 (with low fitting)
Type-D 20 23 -10 16,9 (with high HP)
T2 25 30 -15 21,4
Basic 10 20 -10 12,5 (with low fitting and high HP)
Guristas 25 31 -15 23,2
(This leaves mark I the best at low fitting, type-D the best against alpha, Basic stays the "small" flux and T2 and guristas now have a meaningfull boost to recharge at expense of HP and fitting) |

So do Shield Rechargers actually get used in decent numbers? Was expecting a mahoosive buff to make them worthwhile.

Shield Flux Coils are already kinda questionable in their worth. The proposed changes don't seem to be able to change anything in that regard. On top of that the t2 version seems oddly placed with basically no feelable advantage over the compact/restrained choice.
Ruthlessness is the kindness of the wise.

Oh man. Don't get me excited.
I hope when they do tackle they do alot of different variants with longer range, cap use, cheap cap use, ease of fitting etc. (ex a 30% web with twice the range or something)
One can only dream. |

Suggestion: What about a module that modifies the curve of shield regeneration to have the optimal regeneration start earlier and last longer? That would definitely be a nice addition to Shield Flux Coils or Shield Rechargers.
Also this.

I don't mind meta items being better than T1, I do have issue with meta items being better than T2 (most ewar modules). |

Hi,
Shield Power Relays and Shield Flux Coils look good. The shield recharger competes with a Invul most equivalently (provides omni tank). Make it so the recharger is better than a third invul. Say 5% better regen than with a third invul.
So the trade off is approx 5% better regen and 14 less cpu for 20% more ehp and 3 cap per sec.
Cheers,
Neug
