The Zeugma has 20pts less virus coherence and only one utility slot compared to the t2 variants, and the Ligature the same compared to its t1. How is this better?
For any explorer working difficult sites (Jspace/ null/ ghost sites), the 20pt compromise is not worth the gain of one midslot, especially since the spike in prices for the required materiel has made the module ridiculously expensive. That materiel is also not that common, in my experience averaging a few units per site. It's very telling that these new modules are still rare on the market (not a single one yet put up for sale in my usual hub-regions)
From a performance perspective, these modules might have been useful for hi and losec explorers, but certainly not at current market prices. In my opinion, CCP needs to significantly reduce the material build requirements, or heavily boost the drop rates thereof. |

Having to make and fly to a safe to deploy a cargohold-hog of a mobile depot in order to swap out the modules is not discouragement enough?) |

Will those of us who spent enormous amounts of time and/or ISK to produce these be refunded the difference in materials? Not that that will mean much if the prices crash, but man was it every a lot of work to build even one unit...

For the next release I'll be vastly lowering the High Tech building material amounts required to build both multi analyzers.
I'm also going to lower the Zeugma's Coherence from 40 to 30 as it's slightly too strong in my opinion.
Early numbers I'm looking at are:
Ligature - 50 each (150 high tech goods required in total - down from 1500)
Zeugma - 100 each (300 high tech goods required in total - down from 3000)
That's all for now so let me know your thoughts on this please.
Fly safe,
CCP RedDawn
