For all that is good and holy, do not use the "standard" white/green/purple/orange style system for rarity of items. It is one of the things I really dislike about modern MMOs. It retards the decision making process of individuals by guiding a choice based on perceived value vs. observed value. It's also a laddered system that flies in the face of the right-tool-for-the-job outlook that is a hallmark of New Eden.
If you look at EVE, and applied the same system, players perception would gear towards Tech 2 gear always being greater than Tech 1, and Faction greater than Tech 2, etc... The reality is that all have their place and their niche. I'd like to see the same implementation present for us foot soldiers.
Some may see it as minor, but I had a visceral negative reaction when I saw the presentation that had the colored borders around the items.

I'd rather they keep rarity power scalling minimal but instead made it so you find different makers of weapons causing different stats to be changed kind of borderlands style. One manufacture likes stupid high fire rate, the other like to shoot really far away.

I don't mind the color coding of the icons like you see in Eve Online.

It doesn't follow any rule. The colors just are. Orange is not the best. Green is not the worst.

Sure it does. Orange is t3, the best. Green is faction. The lowest on the scale.

You're forgetting Officer and Deadspace mods which would often cost as much as the ship itself. Ever seen a Purple Raven?
