I like thats it's going to stop the ridiculous fits like heaves with light weapons, however it also feels like its going to stop a lot of theory crafted suits, like plasma cannon scouts and the like. I would love to see some heavy weight diagrams describing how it's going to look so people can see it before it's released in the beta. I would hate for all of that hard work to not add up to much. On the other hand I would also love all of his hard work pay off!

EVE has tech 1, Faction, and Deadspace, which are basically just fancy names for common, uncommon, and rare (or common as dirt, rare, and really rare) - so long as the the drop rates are sufficiently low (and therefore the prices high) that they're only really used in battles that really matter, like proto was supposed to be, I don't have a problem with that aspect of the proposal.

EDIT: Just so long as they aren't actually called common, uncommon and rare in the actual game, that would be a step too far.
