Caracal (All based on cheapest market price in the forge);
5 X Heavy Missile Launcher II - 70M (14M each)
1 X Large Shield Extender II - 5.5M
2 X Sensor Booster II - 3.4M
2 X Invulnerability Field (Best Named - t2 back then was around 6M) - 1.2M (600K each)
1 X Ballistic Control System I - 60K
1 X Signal Amplifier II - 600k
Total : 85.96M (Including Caracal/ No Insurance)
Ok, let's see what a realistic setup looks like then:
caracal
5x t2 assault launcher (2m each ?)
1x best named large extender (1m)
2x sensor booster I (or named) (nothing)
2x invul named (1.2m)
1x BCU (60K)
1x bamed sig amp (50K ?)
total: < 12m isk and change
loss of usefullness compared to your maxed out t2 setup: near zilch.
smile on your face when the enemy caracal pilot dissapears to rat for two days after being killed: win
But i probably didn't factor in that this isn't about usefullness is it ? It's about you wanting to be able to fly the best you can fly skillwise at a price you can afford right ?
Well, though luck, I cant afford to fly the best i can fly all the time either, so I fit t2 where it counts, and fit named t1 where it doesn't hinder me, which typically means i'll be using t1 except for the guns and maybe a sensor booster or tracking comp on my BS, and t1 except for maybe an MWD and the guns on my dictor, for example.
The problem is that thare a lot of ships that go from marginal at best to extremly potent when upgrading from best named to techII. Namely just about any caldari gunboat.
If you are not using tech II guns on a cormorant in PvP, you are at a serious diadvantage. if you don't use tech II tracking comps, it is the difference between almost all misses, and mostly good and excellent hits.
The problem also exist in that certain modules are in much higher demand, but there are the same amount of BPO's out there than the less in demand BPO's. Almost every armor tanker can benifit greatly from a cap charger II, but only 3 ships fit a tachion II. 2 races se hybrid guns. ect.
