All old T2 are now T1 by default. This includes both generators and thrusters.

I like the new thrusters, now my cute single thruster MiG can be 20m/s faster while saving some prop and fuel with more economical maneuver thrusters

I'm not a fan of tiers, but at least it's not X1 X10 x100 like in some games/mods.
Having T2 going for endurance, while T3 goes for speed is a nice touch as well.
You could do the same with generators, by reducing T2 fuel consumption. Would give a reason to use them over T3

I agree. I like that we have cheap, efficient, and powerful options for the thrusters and hope we can get meaningful tradeoffs for anything else that you decide to tier up.

Personally I would rather component specific options as opposed to the more aggregate thing going on now. As in , nozzles that work better in space versus atmosphere, fuel converters that are either more fuel or power efficient, bodies that are lighter or more well armored, combustion chambers that use different propellants etc.

Can I suggest that rather than naming the Tiers 1-3, they have letter designations to reflect their role.
Tier 1 = G (Generic)
Tier 2 = E (economy or efficiency)
Tier 3 = A (Premium/high performance)

Or something like that, simply so that it is apparent that the tiers are not simply incremental increases in performance but have intended roles. After all, not all players are going to read the patch notes. Being able to tell the ethos of what generator is for what role at a glance will be useful.
