having begun to look into the invention side of things i've managed to get hold of an incognito interface and (as a hybrid user) thought i'd get busy inventing some rails only to find that rails aren't invented with the incognito
is this intentional?
i thought the interfaces were racial (having looked through every bpo on the market this seems to be the case)
if they are racial then surely all hybrids should be invented by gallente
two points in favour of this are 1) hybrid rigs all need incognito tuners and 2) all the other weapon types are invented by their respective racial interface e.g. mini = projectile
having spent a few hours going through all the bpos there appears to be a huge imbalance wrt the incognito interface - at a guess i'd say it is involved in perhaps 10-15% of all invention as opposed to the expected 25% (from a balance perspective)
coupled with the fact that there don't appear to be any 'killer' mods that need the incognito i'm wondering if the rails thing is just a mistake that needs a quick fixing
any feedback would be much appreciated

Railguns are traditionally Caldari weapons.

really? sheds some light on things then
however it does seem strange that of all the races only the gallente have just one weapon type
are all the ship-mods racial in some respect and is this why the incognito is only required for such a small amount of invention?

Each race has its own 'weapon type' though in the case of some weapon subsystems, there are racial variations. So you have:
Amarr - lasers Caldari - railguns, missiles Gallente - blasters, drones Minmatar - projectiles
In the case of missiles and drones, you have a racial variation of each to give a different damage type (Amarr = EM, Caldari = Kinetic, Gallente = Thermal, Minmatar = Explosive). That's why Thermal damage drones are the most damaging and why Caldari missile boats often get a bonus to Kinetic missiles.
IIRC the Caldari were once part of the Gallente Federation, before their war of independence, so that might explain why both the Gallente and Caldari have their own variations of hybrid weapons.

thanks very much - makes a bit more sense now
hopefully drone invention will be along soon and will use the incognito

the hulk is an ORE ship isn't it??
has no gallente skill requirements and can't be invented as far as i'm aware

I have looked at invention a lot and i do feel tha gallente are getting the short stick when it comes to invention. they can invent racial damage smartbomb ( like the rest) blaster ( so half a weapon type) things related to ECM (but not all ECCM modules)
If you consider the price of those modules, that of datacores and the possibility of failing an invention job, none of those modules are worth inventing. Basicly the incognito data interface is pretty much useless unlike the other 3 module data interface. All the other data interfaces have a couple of high value t2 items that makes buying datacore and making a profit possible.
On a side note, I hope the price of datacore will go down because now that's where most of the profit from selling t2 invented items goes.
