These fittings were made mostly using Tech 1 Meta 0 modules, ~~or Meta~~ 4 and Tech 2 for larger ships. ~~Using Meta 0 modules is partly to avoid confusion with higher meta names~~, ~~it is recommended to upgrade to higher meta modules if they can be afforded (~~and ~~as always in Eve, can afford to lose and replace them,~~ not ~~just make the initial purchase). For rookie~~ pilots ~~learning PvP, ships should be kept cheap~~. ~~During war, PvP fittings using~~ Tech 1 Meta 0 modules are provided by the university.

These fittings were made mostly using Tech 1 Meta 0 modules for frigates and cruisers, and meta 4 and Tech 2 for larger ships. In PvP, frigates and cruisers are often not worth fitting expensive modules on for low skill point or inexperienced pilots. Tech 1 Meta 0 modules are provided freely by the university. Once pilots have the skill points, a certain amount of combat experience, and enough ISK to replace bigger ships, they should consider moving to a battlecruiser wit T2 fittings.

Higher Meta items up to meta 4 will often be easier to fit. Tech 2 is Meta 5, and usually harder to fit. Meta 3 and 4 are expensive, often more expensive than Tech 2. Meta 1 and 2 will ~~sometimes~~ be less expensive than Meta 0, due to supply ~~and demand~~ on the market. Sometimes meta 4 is cheaper and better than Tech 2, like for ECCM modules.

Pilots without T2 guns fitting a BC for PvP should probably avoid the overpriced meta 3 and 4 guns. Some of the meta 3 and 4 medium guns are reasonably priced, but many are not, and will only make your ship into a loot Piñata for the enemy when it is destroyed, for very little increase in effective dps. It is strongly recommended to get T2 guns before getting into BC, BS, or any T2 damage dealing ships.

Higher Meta items up to meta 4 will often be easier to fit. Tech 2 is Meta 5, and usually harder to fit. Meta 3 and 4 are expensive, often more expensive than Tech 2. Meta 1 and 2 modules will often be less expensive than Meta 0, due to low demand and high supply on the market. Sometimes meta 4 is cheaper and better than Tech 2, like for ECCM modules.

Meta 4 guns are recommended on some of these PvE ships, as many gallente pilots in their early careers will focus sooner on T2 drones than T2 guns. Some Meta 4 guns are reasonably priced, others are hideously expensive. If you can't afford to lose expensive Meta 4 guns, downgrade them to meta 3 or 2 instead.
