Why??? Why??? Why CCP so much loving That_strange_very_very_long_names_for_every_thing_in_the_game?
Why you think "Auto-targeting" is better than "FoF"??? |

HAMS need to stay hams because they were the counterpart to heavy missiles.
on the plus side the implants did need a massive reorganization and thank you for that. You're welcome. :) Well technically friend or foe, wasn't always a fat lol, trust me i had a FOF at one day way back when i started that hit a friend in highsec got concorded was quite funny, but ya it shoots foes or friends, so auto-targeting seems wiser, especially since the launchers are already changed.
lol ouch i guess they should have gone with FAF: Fire and Forget |

Hope you like your new job and wish you long years and tons of fun doing it. Also, thank you for fixing all the inconsistent missile names, those really should not have been left behind. As for renaming the F.O.F missiles to Auto Targeting, I do understand that the naming convention would make things easier for new players but I do hope you will remember us bitter old Killboard admins who have to put up with broken killmails for weeks before a DB update is pushed out. Now, the F.O.F missiles are rarely used so its no big deal but any time a popular item undergoes a name change a lot of KB admins begin to cry. So next time please think of that under-appreciated group. Thanks.

Dear mr foxfour.
Can i direkt your OCD at the longlived bug of the build quote window in manufacturing. The long ignored bug of rounding up r.a.m. - tools with blueprints that require them.
It's indisputable that there is a rounding bug and it its very noticeable the lower the procentage usage of the r.a.m. - tools gets and the more runs.
5 years and counting with this bug, Build window will not allow you to press build until amount of r.a.m. - tools = amount of build runs due to r.a.m. - usage procentage gets convertet from procentage to a integer and then rounded. and it always get rounded up to 1.
The result is that a build of 100 runs/units of X-something that requires 50% of r.a.m.- tool one whould require 50 of r.a.m.-tool but build quota window wont accept 50 r.a.m.- tool it will only accept when 100 r.a.m.- tool is there and once build is press it only removes 50 r.a.m.- tool and there is 50 r.a.m.- tool left.
please fix this and i will love you long time. |

Probably already said, so I will say it again.
While the changes to the Implants are welcome *when* choosing the most important implants you want to use, the old system is more useful to find implants to fill "holes". For example, there aren't advantageous, or perhaps any, missile implants for every slot. So, now one has to find an implant *for that slot*. One might have secondary implant categories in mind, but it would be useful to have *both* ways to see implants.
"Cut off one's nose to spite one's face" seems to be CCP's motto. |

The one thing I feel the need to nitpick about is that implant names are unnecessarily long:
Inherent Implants 'Noble' Hull Upgrades HG-1001
Only the underlined part of the name actually helps us understand which implant it is (please correct if wrong). The rest is a bit too much fluff. "Roleplay" relevant info should like the manufacturer name should be in the description.
I think there's value in the HG-1001 encoding. "HG" gives us a short, unambiguous way to refer to (or autolink) the implant without spelling it out. The "-10" tells you that it goes in implant slot 10, which is important enough that it's worth making explicit in the name.
I agree that "Inherent Implants 'Noble'" isn't adding a lot of value, and I think we can make a reasonable compromise. How about dropping "Inherent Implants" but keeping "Noble"? 'Noble' already implies the manufacturer, and the manufacturers are not particularly relevant or evocative as NPC corporations. Knowing the manufacturer doesn't even help me to guess which LP stores might carry the implant.*
We'd still have "Imperial Navy" etc. for the faction variants, as usual. I'd be perfectly happy to read:
'Noble' Hull Upgrades HG-1001
'Lancer' Large Energy Turret LE-1005
'Beancounter' Research RR-603
If nothing else, the (admittedly idiosyncratic) names help to distinguish the implants from similarly named skills.

Given that Eve's theory of motion can be described as if the ships are moving through "molasses", I wouldn't jump to any conclusions.

Could you please spare some time to fix the name on Sensor Damps?!
Dampening = getting something wet. (unless a SD is some sort of zero-G space watergun that aims for sensor arrays, I don't think this is what you mean the module to be named).
Damping = reducing effects.
Pretty please update this! Google says: dampeningpresent participle of damp-+en (Verb)Verb - Make slightly wet: "the fine rain dampened her face".
- Make less strong or intense: "nothing could dampen her enthusiasm".
Obviously, CCP is going with the 2nd definition. |

It is actually as follows:
HG-1001 = Short name for implant
HG-1001 = Slot number
HG-1001 = Percentage boost the implant gives
I am actually not sure what the Inherent Implants represents.

A chance to educate a dev: Each one of the main factions has a "biotech" company that, in the fluff, manufactures implants. These are:
- Eifyr & Co. (Minmatar Republic)
- Genolution (Jove Directorate)
- Inherent Implants (Amarr Empire)
- Poteque Pharmaceuticals (Gallente Federation)
- Zainou (Caldari State) |

If you really had OCD you'd call it CDO.
Regarding missile names: They were renamed from HAMs to AMs in the recent big missile name change and I believe the only reason the launcher was not renamed along was that till then there was another Assault Missile Launcher (now called Rapid Light Missile Launcher). So this is slightly reversing the change to less confusable names, but of course I can't argue against ham being tasty.
Nice changes overall.

Hi
First I will declare I am a laser user and not a Missile user!
But riddle me this?
Why change Fire & Forget one of the most commonly known military acronyms out there with a reasonable 1.4 millions hits on Google ( Fire And Forget missile) as meaning an 'Auto-Targeting' missile.
To 'Auto-Targeting' which until you decided to use it for Fire & Forget I never heard of and only has 45,700 on Google ( "Auto Targeting" missile) and the leading hits are all Egosoft's X-Universe game & non-military?
Also F.O.F. uses far less screen space than 'Auto-Targeting' even your example picture has the 'Auto Targeting' missile names running off the screen. so if users want to see the full name they will need to increase the name column width.
If you wanted to change it to anything then 'FoF' might be better as that is the universal short hand rather than the EVE current F.O.F. for 'Fire & Forget' |
