So that when I search for "200mm Restrained" I get exactly the module I was looking for?
I'd much rather have the size in between the tiericide name and the type of module it is like this: [flavortext] [tiericide name] [size] [shield extender/plates]. Example: Rolled Tungsten Compact 1600mm Plates
This way I can search for all "Compact 1600mm" or all "1600mm Plates" and get what I'm looking for.

Really?!
CCP, if your goal is to get people to fit SSE or sub-400mm plates on their frigates, or to encourage people to use medium tank modules on their cruisers, this isn't going to do it. The slots are too precious, and even with the new stats I'd rather have a resist module instead of a small HP module.
Also you're completely missing the chance to fix something that's been broken for a long time: the disparity between armor and shield at larger sizes. What do I mean? Well the go-to HP modules for frigates is the MSE and 400mm. These add around 1000 HP to your ship. Armor a little more, shield a little less but given their inherent balancing factors (mass vs sig radius, higher base resists vs regeneration) this is fine.
Now look at the go-to for everything cruiser and up: LSE and 1600mm. HUGE disparity between their HP. 1600mm armor literally gives 80-90% more HP than LSE! This is a primary factor in why you only see armor in large fleet fights. They give so much HP, and penalize speed so little, and sig radius not at all (I'm not even going to talk about bombers here. I have another thread for that.), and they have better inate resists, that it's the obvious choice.
Another thing you're missing out on is the opportunity to provide more fitting options for shields. Right now you have three shield sizes, and five armor. Why not make five shield sizes as well like so:

I know you guys aren't going to look at these modules for years after this. Please take the time to fix them now!
