For example, compare the T2 Stasis Webifier with the Serpentis faction version:
For example, compare the T2 Stasis Webifier with the Serpentis faction version:


* the Shadow Serpentis web has 13km range and the T2 web has 10km -- a 30% increase
* the Dark Blood web has 15km range and the T2 web has 10km -- a 50% increase
* the Shadow Serpentis module also requires less CPU
* the Dark Blood module also requires less CPU
* but the T2 module has a more dramatic effect: it cuts the target's velocity by 60%, while the faction version only cuts it by 55%
* but the T2 module has a more dramatic effect: it cuts the target's velocity by 60%, while the faction version only cuts it by 55%


At the time of writing the Shadow Serpentis webifier is roughly thirty-nine times more expensive than the T2 webifier. If you're fighting within web range the effect on the target's velocity will often be more important to you than your ability to web from a longer range than normal, and so the T2 will be more useful than the Shadow Serpentis webifier anyway.
At the time of writing the Shadow Serpentis webifier is roughly 130 times more expensive than the T2 webifier.

If, however, you are fitting a Rapier T2 force recon ship you might prefer the Shadow Serpentis to the T2 webifier because

* the Rapier has massive bonuses to web range, which increase the difference between them: at Recon V, the faction web has 12km more range than the T2 web
* the Rapier has massive bonuses to web range, which increase the difference between them: at Recon V, the faction web has 20 km more range than the T2 web
* webbing things from long range is part of the Rapier's job in combat, so the range boost is more significant

* the Rapier is fast, agile and can use a covert ops cloak, so you can reasonably expect it to last you for a while (especially if you're an experienced pilot, which you should be if you're fitting force recons)
