When people talk about "meta" modules, or the act of "meta[ing] down a [ship] fit", these are the module variants they are speaking of. (Either the Meta level 4 variant for weapons, or some other applicable variant for other modules.) | |||
{{example|For example, the Large Shield Extender I (Meta 0) module has two "named" variants, the Large Azeotropic Restrained Shield Extender and the Large F-S9 Regolith Compact Shield Extender. When compared to the Meta 0 module, the former has a reduced signature radius increase, while the latter has reduced fitting requirements. Additionally, both modules have higher shield hitpoint bonuses (the module's primary attribute). Note that the additional adjectives in the module names (such as "Azeotropic") are purely flavor text and have no specific meaning, although they may sometimes reference real-world or theoretical technologies related to the module.}} | {{example|For example, the Large Shield Extender I (Meta 0) module has two "named" variants, the Large Azeotropic Restrained Shield Extender and the Large F-S9 Regolith Compact Shield Extender.
