Actually I was going to start this thread but more along the lines of this:
Dear CCP,
The are two issues that I forsee needs to be addressed with the latest changes to MWD's.
-One-
In the beginning MWD's were the bomb. This caused true problems all over and the "adjustments", nerf from here on out, was an imperfect solution delivered in an imperfect way. However, in all fairness, it was completely balanced regardless of it's imperfection.
The choice to MWD or not to MWD, post-nerf, was usually a difficult one. "Do I accept the huge negatives to gain access to much greater speeds?" Of course to multi-mwd only increased the negatives. To be quite honest I can not tell you how many times I've almost lost my ship, at a JIP, becuase of the shield and cap negatives from using an mwd. Equally, the speed may have saved my life as well.
Now life has changed yet again. To be frank I do not know if I like the new changes but I am more than willing to -try- things before I whine about it. I have a nagging suspicion that I will like the new changes to "accelerated" travelling that have been implemented. Just something about the neatness of the logic makes sense to a small, rational, part of me.
Unfortunately this creates something of a problem. No longer do I get the greatly enhanced speed... so why do I still have to pay the significant negatives. Those negatives that was the true nerfing.
I submit to you that the shield and cap modifiers are the unfair weight to MWD's, not there current effectiveness. I ask, humbly, that a rationale be given for the continuation of the risk in the face of lost rewards. Or that a return to MWD original configuration, sans negatives, be strongly considered.
-Two-
I feel that the MWD nomenclature could use some small adjusting, for the benfit of long time and new players. "1MN", "10MN", and "100MN" is rather undescriptive as a name for the basic MWD module. I feel that by naming them "small", "medium", and "large" (maybe even "X-Large" is possible someday) would be a much more fitting name to describe the relative effectiveness and ship classes.
Furthermore, the actual descriptions could use a notation regarding what MN a MWD Module is as well as a short blurb regarding MN. Since it is a new change relevant information should be properly placed to reach the intended target, the end user, regardless of whether the target knows to "go to x website" for more info or not.

Shall we now consider the thread hijacked for better use?
