just rename everything with a dynamically generated construct of the ship's full ISK value, tank and DPS The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

Yeah actually let's just move past names and call everything by its ISK value determined by the latest sales in Jita and completed contracts. http://goo.gl/uX5vk |

I fully agree, these changes would help new players, but they still don't go far enough.
I would recommend to name the gallente battleships to
Dominix - Battleship Tech 1 - Drones Megathron - Battleship Tech 1 - Hybrids Hyperion - Battleship Tech 1 - Failure |

Clean out the wax in your ears. I'm only going to say this once.
The difference between two ships can include, but is not limited to, slot numbers, hardpoint numbers, shield and armor strength, velocity, mass, cargo capacity, drone capacity, signature radius and skill requirements.
The difference between a meta 2 1mn afterburner and a meta 3 1mn afterburner is a ~3.7% difference in their max velocity modifiers.
The former is worthy of an independent naming scheme. The latter is worthy of a streamlined naming scheme.
I'll let you figure out why. |

If I were a dev, drones would be able to rep their owners, mining would actually be interesting, faction warfare would be active and the NEX store would have never come into existence. |

Procurer - What? Skiff - Tears Light Retriever - Tears Covetor - More Tears Mackinaw - Frozen Tears Hulk - Bot Tears Orca - Best Tears
Impairor - Amarr Noob Ship Reaper - Minmatar Noob Ship Ibis - Caldari Noob Ship Velator - Dear God What Is THAT Thing?
Though I agree with Morganta. Just name a ship based on it's overall value, including fittings, cargo. User definable ship-names should be changed to only display a pilots implant value. Profit favors the prepared |

Mara Tessidar wrote:So now they're going to be called by what they do. The naming convention rules begin with the racial type so you know what type of guns it uses and what general characteristics it has. Then we can break them down by what size they are. Here are some of the new frigate names.
The Rifter is now called Minmatar Pew Pew Pew. The Bantamis now called Caldari Lolminer. The Condor is now called Caldari Generic Interceptor. The Griffin is now Caldari Abstract Art Contest Winner. The Heron is now Caldari Probe. The Kestrel is now Caldari Missile Platform, Frigate-Size. The Tristan is now called Gallente Whoopsie. The Probe is now called Minmatar Probe The Rifter is now called Minmatar PEW PEW PEW The Slasher is now called Minmatar Engine Experiment, Awry. The Vigil is now called Minmatar Vertical Frigate. The Drake is now called Caldari Missile Platform, Battlecruiser-Size. The Raven is now called Caldari Missile Platform, Battleship-Size. The Chimera is now called Caldari Phallus of Dominance. The Apocalypse is now called Amarr Laser Platform I. The Armageddon is now called Amarr Laser Platform II. The Abaddon is now called Amarr Laser Platform III. The Avatar is now called Amarr Phallus of Dominance. The Hyperion is now called Gallente Phallus of Dominance. The Ragnarok is now called Minmatar Phallus of Dominance.
These are just a few of the new ship names being implemented in the near future. As you can see, they easily add to the sci-fi theme that Eve Online has while maintaining ship diversity and ease of discernment among the varying types. In additi--I can't do this anymore. I'm sorry. The name changes were awful. Now all my missiles are sorted by damage type and not by size and use. My prop mods are simply named new, generic engines. Thanks for a wonderful update that totally adds to the game. This will surely bring in those hordes of subscribers Hilmar desperately needs.
Give us back our missile and prop mod names, thanks in advance.

If you knew anything about Titans you'd know that the Ragnarok doesn't dominate anything. Fine then. The Stabber is the Minmatar Phallus of Dominance. heh, if you're asian maybe |

Also how is changing Thunderbolt to Mjolnir 'making things simpler'? Nova? Trauma? It's dumb and arbitrary, just like the majority of name changes CCP decided to push through. |

I believe that firing weapons with function keys is too hard for people to understand because there isn't keys with function label in keyboard. For this reason I suggest that to fire slot one group or cannon user needs to write "fireone" with keyboard and click shiny spinning confirmation button with mouse to activate the module(s).
This would raise the users combat experience to same professional category where the new shiny renamed items already are.

The missile pictures were ******* color-coded.... failing that, you can show info, failing that... god forbid you have to remember a few names.
and the mwd's really? there's only 4 of them. 2 friggies, 1 cruiser, and 1 bs. you can't remember those?
sorry, but If someone can't remember those, how will they ever like eve? Unless you change eve on a very fundamental level, they won't. And changing eve on a fundamental level is bad, and that's why people are scared / angry / miffed about this first round of changes.

Given the apparent aversion to actually reading item descriptions or recalling small tidbits of information for a game, that many people display- I say we appeal to a common denominator and appease all.
Let's rename everything using television commercial jingles or tag lines....
So instead of levels of insurance you would simply either be "in good hands" or "not in good hands"
The Drake should be called "so easy, even a caveman could fly it"
All shield or armor resist/extender/hardeners should be various scripts for a module called "Viagra" (the comedy sorta writes itself for that one)
Remote repair should be "I am stuck on band-aid brand"
Laser equipped, armor tanked ships just levels of "heartbeat of Anmatar" Minmatar ships "Quality is job none"
Security status for systems should be things like "Don't wake up in a null sec ditch, get Direct JC now"
(I'm sure all these references to commercials on US television are probably lost on players everywhere else..but this is America, myopia is a virtue in these here parts) |
