Meta Level 1 modules will have their resistance bonus increased from -40% to -42% to put their primary attribute between Meta Level 0 - Tech I (-40%) and Meta Level 5 - Tech II (-44%).
With tiericide meta1 modules will always be better than meta0, and often cheaper as well because the rat droppings are plenty. It greatly inhibits entry-level production of manufacturing T1Meta0 modules - it is pointless unless you research and manufacture T2 as well which might be unavailable for newer players interested in manufacturing path.
I have an old idea of solving this problem, but any other solution is fine as long as it promotes meaningful (player)interaction/production/consumption.
