No no no no no no no
Please don't start renaming modules again, the naming of modules is very important for immersion of players and is a known nomenclature by players that have been in game for some time. it is also a right of passage for newer players to learn these things. I remember when the MWD's were renamed, missile launchers and missiles followed (and were swiftly changed back after community outcry)
Will ship names follow?
Will my Atron become a "Restrained Gallente Frigate I", as that is the route you are going down.
By all means, sort out the imbalances that allow meta 4 to be a better option than T2 (Webs, scrams, ECM etc) but please leave the names alone. |

Double compact and "Micro" that makes it really small. |

Think of all the blogs/sites that are now going to be out of date once the names start changing again. Maybe CCP should build and provide a find/replace file for the module tiercide to make it easier for external resource managers like EVE University WIki to make updates? There's a common ground to be had. Special naming sucks when you want to find a processor upgrade and search for "proc" on the market and find Co-Processer I Nanoelectrical Co-Processer 1 Quantum Co-Processor 1 Co-Processer II but not Nanomechanical CPU Enhancer I or Photonic CPU Enhancer I which are probably the meta item you want and now have to spend extra clicks to Info on the base model, variations, info, show market details. That is bad naming complexity with no value. But I agree that something other than standard MMO prefix/suffix fare is desired.
I tend to look up "proc", then hit variations and use the compare tool to find the module with the stats that suit the job and budget for the task in hand. My main concern is that Eve will turn into a very "beige" game with everything named similarrly, all the ships balanced and all the NPC's pretty much the same (don't even get me started on Rogue drone loot removal and the adding of bounties to them)

Names should convey something useful to the user/consumer. What does the 3200 stand for? What does it represent? Does it convey anything useful? If these can't be answered, then it is a horrible product name.
Flavor can still be done through description text.
I have always seen the named item as a brand,
like Pepsi, McDonalds or Nike.
They don't "mean" anything, they don't say anything about the item, but once you are familiar, you just know that Pepsi is a Cola drink, Mcdonalds is fast food (mainly burgers) and Nike is trainers (or sneakers if you are American)
Imagine how boring life would be if you went out for a "Fast food restaurant I" wearing your "Sports footwear II" and had a refreshing drink of "Cola flavoured Beverage III"
And we'd all be playing "Internet MMORPG based in space I" not Eve Online. |

the Supplemental EM ward amplifier is a 25% EM resist for 6 cpu, where the meta version is 32.5% but for 20 cpu and 1 pg, and tech 1 is 25 cpu. It isn't a great mod but the very low fitting cost might find a use somewhere.
That is a very expensive module though (current sell order in Jita is 94mil)
It is one of the older module groups that still seem to be around, they have pretty much zero skill need and very low fitting spec, I do not believe they even drop anymore from NPC's |

That would involve either playing the game, or listening the people that do, something that CCP and the CSM seems to do less and less often. |
