What I mean by that is, say, if CCP Rattati had to go in and change the damage of all the assault rifles by 10%... With current mechanics he'd have to go in and change every. Single. Freaggin. One.
Militia, STD, ADV, Proto, Experimental, Specialist, Officer
BPO, BPC
ISK, Aurum, LP, Experimental
Event, Monetization Pack
You can tell they have to be done manually because every so often a change will occur to a weapon, dropsuit, or module and one of them (probably some far off one like a closed beta gift or something) will still have the old stats. Imagine how much time could be saved if they figured out a way to just make a single change that applied to all of them within a certain teir or meta level.
We actually have a hierarchical item authoring database, called CATMA, but it is not perfect... . We fix the hierarchy with every update, it's getting a lot better.

No You would have been better served to not reply at all than with this. I can understand being mad, frustrated or whatever which would cause you to want to post "No". I get it. But you just can't. This community has fiercely stuck with this game even when your own company had given up on it. This is a very loyal community. We can be a whiny ungrateful bunch at times but it is only because we enjoy DUST 514 so much. To post a a one word, terse, brusque response,,,well, we deserve more courtesy/respect than that.
Do you really think, that I and the team, would not make new weapons and vehicles, if it was a straight up "one to one" trade between Faction skins and an Amarr tank, for example?
When the answer is no, I am going to say no, not maybe.
The Warbarge is a foundation for the future of dust, PC, crafting, corporation, it is the base, your pride, your fixed point in New Eden. Creating and developing this modular concept is the only way forward and I am very proud of it and the team. Monetization for it is hindsight, and intended for play-on-the-weekend-3-kid-dads like me that can't play every day, but would love to upgrade to get some experimental weapons one day.
