Faction modules: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

You can find a module's faction, deadspace and officer variants on its Variations tab.

===Faction===

===[[File:Icon faction.png|24px]]Faction===

Faction modules represent souped-up equipment produced by New Eden's various NPC factions for their soldiers' use, and therefore not normally available to the general public. Capsuleers can acquire them from the LP stores of NPC corporations, provided they have enough LP and ISK, and possibly some insignias from that faction's enemies to hand in too.

Line 30:

Only factions related to any given kind of module will produce it: you won't see a Caldari Navy Mega Pulse Laser as Caldari ships aren't designed for and have no bonuses for lasers. What you ''will'' see is a Caldari Navy Heavy Missile Launcher and a Dread Guristas Heavy Missile Launcher (the Empire faction and the Pirate faction), among others from another empire/faction and maybe another pirate faction too.

Determining which one is better in the faction category is tricky at best. The only way to be sure is to use [https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=24359 EFT] to try out fits. Remember that just because something's an expensive faction module doesn't always mean it's better than the standard T2 module ''for you'' -- its advantages may only be relevant to players who can't fit the T2 version, or have bad fitting skills.

===Deadspace===

===[[File:Icon deadspace.png|24px]]Deadspace===

Deadspace modules come from rare rat drops in low sec and nullsec complex and exploration sites. 'Rare' ''means'' rare: you can go through many exploration sites and never get a deadspace drop.

Line 73:

Corpus-X > Corpus-A > Corpus-B > Corpus-C

Usually the 'X' variants are very similar to the best officer modules and their prices may be in the billions. Here you have stuff like the Pith-X specific shield hardeners which give you 64%(!) resist bonuses. But the "C" variants may be just like T2 stuff (or possibly worse), so compare them in-game and in EFT before splashing out.

Also, for the same module (10MN Afterburner, for example) sometimes one group's deadspace modules will be better than another's. You may find Corelum and Gistum B, C and A 10MN afterburners, but these are ''not'' the same. The Gistum-B 10MN Afterburner is better than a Corelum-B -- in fact it is better than a Corelum-A too! So, again, check in EFT before buying.

===Officer===

===[[File:Icon officer.png|24px]] Officer===

Officer modules only drop from officer spawns (named rats) which are incredibly rare and only spawn in some belts in some regions. They are named after the pirate officer from whose wreck they came. They are similar in quality to the better deadspace modules: the Pith-X Shield Boost Amplifier is identical to Estamel's Modified Shield Boost amplifier, and the lesser Pith-B is identical to Thon's Modified one.

Line 85:

The order for each pirate faction is like this:

*'''Angel''': Tobias > Gotan > Hakim > Mizuro

{| border="1"

*'''Guristas''': Estamel > Vepas > Thon > Kaikka

! Faction !! Region it spawns in !! Best !! > !! > !! Worst

*'''Blood Raiders''': Draclira > Ahremen > Raysere > Tairei

|-

*'''Sansha''': Chelm > Vizan > Selynne > Brokara

||'''Angel''':|| Curse || Tobias || Gotan || Hakim ||Mizuro

*'''Serpentis''': Cormack > Setele > Tuvan > Brynn

|-

||'''Guristas''':|| Venal || Estamel || Vepas || Thon || Kaikka

||'''Blood Raiders''':|| Delve || Draclira || Ahremen || Raysere || Tairei

|-

||'''Sansha''':|| Stain || Chelm || Vizan || Selynne || Brokara

Officer modules are some of the strongest and rarest modules ingame, and as such are extremely expensive.
