CCP Gnauton and friends have been working on the naming structure for modules and implants in EVE. They've taken in your feedback, made some changes to the strategy accordingly, and now they want to talk to you about the future of module names in EVE.
Please go here to read about what they've been up to, and if you don't have some feedback for us...my name ain't Guard! CCP Guard | EVE Community Developer |

ffs there goes the kb's again. While I appreciate the implants renaming, its still confusing as hell with the irrelevant corp name. But w/e.
However, changing the mod names, again, is just silly. I get that your streamlining it, but...sigh. If you don't like it, you should go and ride your Emo high-horse all the way back to WoW.

This seems like a bad idea to me. Every other launcher has the word launcher in it, so why is the assault launcher a special case? Why not just call it a rapid/fast light missile launcher, since that is exactly what it is and would fit better with the new launcher naming convention. |

"Light missile arrays" v. "light missile launchers"? That sounds as confusing, if not moreso, than the previous names, but maybe that's just me. Why give assault missiles the one outlier in terms of naming conventions by having them come from arrays instead of launchers? I'm playing EVE and I'm Still Alive

What about module groups that do not have 4 levels of meta items, such as smartbombs, shield hardeners/amps, and propulsion mods? Will new items be seeded to fill up the gaps?

Please dont 100% standardise the module names, search functions are already difficult and clunky.
I do like the idea of making it easier, but maybe you could have a Meta name set for say tanking modules, A different name set for weapon, Another for electronic warefare modules. Just to keep a litle flavour in there.
Implant names I like the changes, they could do with being far easier to understand. |

I agree on this too. Aside from that the changes are quite welcome. Course, you probably are upsetting the scammer dynamic. |

Maybe Rapid light missile launcher, for the assault missile launcher though?

Hasn't this been debated to death already? It's not 'dumbing down the game'. It's just removing pointless obscurity. It's a painstaking task to either remember the name of all the modules, or to Right-click > Show info on everything to show meta levels.
Personally I welcome this change, less time ******* around with modules is more time to pew. You know, the part of the game that has actual difficulty? Commanding Officer of the Treacle Tart Brigade SLAPD Director |

yaay, more updates for Eve, Evemon, jEveassets, Evementat, EFT, and anything else that lists items, for the love of god, why didn't you do this when you changed the missile names, it's not like it's difficult to do to change a name and description in a database table
I feel sorry for the writers of all the software that runs alongside eve having to change things yet again because CCP couldn't get their act together.

Light Missile Arrays? Not Rapid Light Missile launchers? Devblog was in pipeline for too long or this is the last minute change?
Also I dont like additional word in the "Adaptive Invulnerability Field".
Hardwiring name change is excellent for sure. |

Please don't do this
You are not making the game easier or user friendly by doing this. You are just making it generic. If you want to make it easier for people to find out, which items are better at a glance, then please sort the things on the market by meta level instead of alphabeticly... That way the t1 items are on top, followed by the other metas and then t2. You'd of course need to group the items, so that e.g. all 350mm railguns are together.
So first sort by group, then by meta level
Please!!!
Besides alot of variety in module names I especially don't want the awesome target painter names to be gone (And if you don't know what i mean, just LOOK AT THEM)
The launcher changes seem unnecessary aswell
Edit: this excludes the hardwirings. Those really were confusing as hell |

While I'm sure we all have quibbles about particular name choices, the overall goal of consistency is a laudable one, and Gnauton deserves some +1's for taking on this non-sexy but useful project.

Meta Level 1: Upgraded Meta Level 2: Limited Meta Level 3: Experimental Meta Level 4: Prototype
The order makes no sense to me.... You don't upgrade something and then have it limited. Also, experimental and prototype mean the same thing.... it's just a mass of "words".
I think you guys need to go back to the drawing board =\ |

Quote: Heavy Assault Missile Launchers have become Assault Missile Launchers

There is no easily discernible difference between Light Missile Arrays and Light Missile Launchers. This will be confusing for everyone, new or old.
Typically when critiquing something I like to come up with suggestive alternatives, however, I can't think of anything that will fit well with your renaming scheme. http://evewho.com - Alliance and Corporation Member Listings http://evechatter.com - Free Alliance and Corporation forums for all. |
