Love the 5/50/500 change. I'm less sold on the names. I would rather see more subtlety.
Personally I would rather see a certain flavor tag, like cold-gas, mean something specific across all modules and use that to indicate its role. For example, players could learn that cold-gas on any module means less cap use and anytime you see it, you know it's the cap saver module. You could add something to the Show Info to explain it and serve as a reference if people forget, but it would become one more bit of knowledge that makes you a better Eve player.

Thats what the Compact (Lower fitting requirements), Enduring (Lower capacitor usage) & Restrained (Lower drawbacks) parts of the name indicate. If you look at some of the other module groups we've Tiericided, you'll see its consistent. "Cold-Gas" is flavor only. The problem arises when you attempt to combine this with flavour names everything becomes too wordy
Exactly this. I get that the Enduring, etc indicate the niche they fill, but I find the flavor text both more subtle and more ~immersive~ than just prepending Enduring or whatever. Both of them make the name too long and wordy, but I think a lot of people like the flavor text, so why not use the flavor text itself as the niche definition.
