I'm not seeing this point. The only 'god roll' is 100% of level...which should only take a few rolls extra to get...even if it's 10-15 rolls to get 100% (next levels can be accessed long before 100% btw) your rolls can never cause you to fall backwards.

Totally agree dude! I'm literally euphoric right now!
Today is a victory for the normal players.

It will really depend on where the PVP meta goes. If the meta bypasses these experimentals (due to available experimentals)...they are useless and have to be changed.
Between each roll being a guaranteed improvement, to fixed negative values per rank, to the materials trader; I am very excited for the changes. I do think we need to test in beta how many rolls it takes to increase each rank, and the materials trader exchange rate; but as a whole these are all welcome improvements.
I, too, like knowing that when I spend my hard-earned mats I am guaranteed to get something better than what I started with.

Right call IMO.
And that friend, is the point. No more RNG saying "no progress for you, you little ****!"
Well, there's still RNG involved, but it only governs the amount of "progress" you do with one roll. Which is fine, imho.

I suppose you could use it to that effect, yes.
Yeah, liked it too.
No more fiddling with crappy rolls.
Now, it's like building an rpg character, except the character is the ship.
Hated the original implementation.
Looking forward to this one (and many of the other things in the upcoming patch).

Same. My problem with the current system is that it's possible to never get an improvement at all.
All I wanted was to know that my material spending would get an improvement. I don't care how much. Now there's genuine progression.
For all players.
They may adapt the amounts of material required to the new storage numbers, though.
Limit increased to 100 per each material/data type.
Indeed. I have been mucking around with Engineers for almost 2 years now, & haven't even reached rank 5 with any of them. The fact that I only have 5 ships might be part of that though
.
Min-maxers: from 100s, or 1,000s of rolls to 20: yeay, fantastic
Everybody else: from 3-4 rolls to 15: booh, hiss
Please a small segment to crap on the rest.
The worst is the progression argument. You give me less than I had and used, but a quicker path to the very best. I don't think Sandro knows what the word "Progression" means.

I don't know. Do you?
"Progression" to me means incremental improvement. Which is exactly what the new system is, in comparison to the old system where you were able to get the best in the first roll or never, depending on your luck.
I don't remember that. But they did say that you can buy and switch them as you want without re-rolling, which is awesome.
