Im with the majority. Its very hypocrite to say that this was designed to make things more simple. Did you read those change notes? Even veteran players were struggling to fully apprehend it. How is that simple?
Also, the whole point of the request for mod management was to avoid farmung mods. We want to farm content, so TOONS and ships. Not mods. And how does CG deliver the mod management? By introducing a never ending mandatory mod farm...
Only your arena teams will require a minimum of 5 * 6 = 30, plus 30-90 slicing for ships. How many materials for 1 slicing? 20,like the zetas? Thats 600 - 1800 materials to be farmed at a minimum.. And this doesnt include any improvement to your mods, just upgrading the existing ones. It also does not calculate for ypur raid characters, which Im not even going to bother attempt to calculate...
1800..
