Hey, baby, wanna see my Ample Launcher?
(I really wouldn't mind the old names back, or at least something less awkward-sounding.)

This.
I can live with Vast Tracts of Launchers if this is fixed. The only reason to use any T1 item less than Meta 4 is a) cost, when that actually matters; b) availability, if you happen to not be near a trade hub, or c) really, really tight fits. I've used a non-Rolled Tungsten T1 plate exactly once because it was the only way to shoehorn a plate onto that particular ship.
And the fallback if Meta 4 isn't available is always the next lowest. There should be a reason to prefer meta 0 beside the mostly irrelevant fact that they're dirt cheap instead of merely cheap.

One thing about variable names: in reality, there is a huge variation in naming conventions, but you don't have to search for the brand or model to get your choices. If I could type 'stasis webifier' into the Market UI and get back everything that's a stasis webifier, that would moot the problem considerably.
If that's too hard to do for whatever reason, standardizing the names to some degree is fine. Count me in as preferring lore-based or sci-fi-sounding adjectives.
The major problem, which is still unaddressed by CCP, is that this round of changes affirms that meta is always better than vanilla T1. You're missing out on a chance to change something that would represent more good complexity. It might also be a nice buff to new industrialists, although it's a bit tough to see how that would actually shake out.

And Juggernaut Torps and Gremlin Rockets and Doom torpedoes for my Phoenix!!! Yup. Search [ kind:missile size:medium damage:thermal ]
That might even be something to have Aura talk about in a Tutorial. No reason to hide the feature. I'd be surprised if 1% of the player base reads dev blogs--their loss, but still a problem.
Or, you know, it could just work the way every store on the web works: you ask for 'light missiles' and you get investigated by the NSAa list of everything that is a 'light missile', regardless of what its brand and model name are.
