All engineers can apply experimental effects on whatever they are able to work on, be it just a teeny bit into grade 1 or fully super duper max'd out grade 5

Incorrect - but they are saying that, unlike with the size 5 pre-engineered FSDs, we will not be able to apply an experimental effect to the size 3,4, and 6 FSDs from the recent community goal.
We will still be able to get them.
The disadvantage of new players is in lack of skill and experience. Both can be overcome by training.
If the disadvantage is hard-coded into the game, the only winning move is not to play.
How could you even enjoy prevailing over younger players, knowing that the game is rigged against them? Your achievements wouldn't be attributed to your skill and experience but to the advantages the developers handed to you. And once you do lose against a younger player, no rematch could restore your reputation.
I respect your opinion, but I doubt it represents a majority. I believe most players prefer a fair competition on a level playing field where victories are meaningful.
However, I do understand that you don't want FDev to mess with your existing fine-tuned builds. In my opinion the only acceptable solution here is to keep the option to apply experimentals at least to the double-engineered 5A drive, if not to all of them.
After today, I wouldn't be so sure anymore.
Unless FDev explicitly confirms it, nothing is set in stone.
Umm, no. I want mass manager on the class 3 one as well, because of fuel consumption. And I want thermal spread on the class 6 that goes into my T-9, because that ship tends to run hot.
The issue with this is the management of player expectations which again comes along with frontiers history of staying quiet on certain things. It was CLEAR from the getgo that the community was very excited for the new modules. But there was ZERO communication from frontier in regards of what to expect from these. All we had to gleam some insight on how these would work was the size modified fsd. No indication that it would work differently. Seriously what is with frontier and withholding stats for a module, Wether or not it’s gonna be changed? Plenty of other games give exact numbers and are successful. Frontier would likely benefit from that as well.
I didn't even do the CG and this is disappointing to me... Inconsistency kills communities....
Maybe she's not wrong... I mean, " the simplest explanation is usually the best one."Explained to the Missus what's happening. She responded "Maybe they don't want People to Play anymore"
They are consistent in their inconsistency at least.
Did anyone do one of these yet?
That’s funny! My missus (who knows nothing about Elite) said “that’s strange. why don’t they want people to be happy?”Explained to the Missus what's happening. She responded "Maybe they don't want People to Play anymore"

The Gnosis incident perhaps? Albeit that was an epic fail, whereas this issue is just baffling and symptomatic of terrible communication within FDev itself.
Absolutely, no developer would knowingly and willingly communicate the failure of an in character action (adding an experimental effect) with an out of character error message (server error).
