Topic name for all modules to be discussed by anyone. The ones I would like to comment on now:

360 TARGET RETENTION - Is this still worth it given we now have Seismic? Seismic costs 2500 GXP more for full unlock but both have the same CB cost, 6mil. Somehow, 360 Retention seems overpriced at least a bit, maybe 10K GXP and 4mil CB is more accurate.

STRIKE ACCURACY (Both) - Given comments and personal use, I have to agree reducing the bombardment zone by 20% is NOT worth it since some players will move away if they see the smoke. A reverse of this is more valuable, and increase of the zone size even if it means reduced damage on Mechs in the zone.
I would also consider allowing it to increase the number of bombs by +2 and the other bombardment modules to increase the number of bombs by +2 instead of +4.
Then change all 4 Strike module costs in GXP to 10K, there are plenty of high (15K+) cost modules including the ones with more than one Rank.
Finally, it looks like Accuracy takes up a second slot. Why can it not just modify the stats of Strikes like the other module that modifies the time and bomb number, is that too good?

CAPTURE ACCELERATOR - While I value it, I do not have it yet and ask is it really worth 6mil, the same as Seismic and Target Decay, two seemingly popular modules with the same CB cost?

HILL CLIMB - Though recent, I have to question its value both in GXP and CB. I could not see myself using this on a Light Mech, maybe not a Medium, I know a way for them to climb some hills they cannot climb head on. Thus it would be limited to Heavies and Assaults mostly. That does not really justify 15K GXP and 6mil CB once you eliminate all the JJ capable Mechs leaving the ones that I would designate priority use for Hill Climb. As to the 10% values worth, I will leave that to someone who actually has tried it.

The C-Bill cost of all modules is 10-20x what it should be, and hill climb is obviously a troll by PGI. The only reason hill climb isn't more expensive is because it would be too obvious a troll if it were.
