Tech and meta levels: Difference between revisions

These are dropped by NPC ships and are not manufactured by players. The higher the meta level the better quality the item. Higher meta level items usually have lower fitting requirements as well as being more effective, but this is not always the case. Meta level 1-4 items do not require more skills to use than meta 0. Because of their better performance higher meta level modules will have a higher price on the market. These modules have more colorful names such as "Y-S8 Hydrocarbon Afterburner I". These modules are sometimes called "named" modules.
