Edited by: Jimer Lins on 18/05/2007 06:31:39 Edited by: Jimer Lins on 18/05/2007 06:30:37 EVE Slang and Acronym Disambiguation
When I was a newbie to EVE, I often found as I explored more of this game, that I ran into the wall of acronyms, abbreviations and slang. Sometimes you can figure out what's being said by context, other times by using the Lexicon but quite often I had to ask someone or persist in my noobishness.
So, I present this posting, my attempt to put together a resource for the EVE Community, especially those needing to figure out what all the long-timers are saying to each other.
If you have suggestions for additions to the list, let me know. I'll try to keep this post up to date. I'm quite sure I've left out a ton of good ones. And yes, I have put some real "duh" ones on here, because the one and two day old players won't know some of this.
EVE Slang and Acronym List aggro Being attacked, usually by NPCs
aggress Attacking or being attacked to get a flag (see flag)
align Orienting on a warpable object to reduce time to enter warp. You should do this if you want to get out quickly.
anti-pie Anti-(player)pirate
AF Assault Frigate
AU Astronomical Unit- the distance from Sol to Earth is one AU, about 150 million km
blob Large gang of ships
blue Has positive standings (blue + sign)
BC Battlecruiser
BCU Ballistic Control Unit, an old term for the new Ballistic Control System (bcs)
BCS Ballistic Control System.
BS Battleship
camp Waiting at a static point, usually a jumpgate, to attack ships
can See jetcan
canflagging Taking ore or loot from a jetcan to get a flag in hopes of being attacked
carebear Player who avoids PvP
CONCORD NPC military in hisec
CONCORDed Being blown up by CONCORD (ouchie)
CONCORDokkened See CONCORDed
corp Corporation (MMO term would be guild or player association)
covops Covert Ops (duh)
DD Doomsday Device (Run, Forrest, run!)
dec/decced See wardec

Thanks, I checked out that one- a very impressive list. I took some of the entries and added them to this one but didn't take all; Sunny Mooninite's done a great job of collecting module acronyms and so forth, while I wanted a good resource for the abbreviations and slang.
Thanks!

Nice list. Nitpick: Heavy Assault Cruiser (not 'Attack').
Could add: Ceptor - Interceptor(I hate 'inty') Bubble - Mobile Warp Disruptor or interdiction sphere POS - Player-owned structure (or starbase)
hm, will post more if I think of them.

You might also want to add common prefixes to ship names used to quickly identify what weapons or general setup the ship uses.
For example, blasterthron (Megathron with blasters), nosdomi (Dominix with Nos), autopest (Tempest with autocannons) in the case of weapons, or nanocurse (Curse with a speed setup) in the case of a setup identification. While most of these are pretty self explanatory, you might decide it doesn't hurt to include them because most experienced players identify ships in this way instead of spelling everything out.
Also, it took me forever to figure out for myself what an autopest was, and if just one noob is spared from that I'm happy.
I was somewhat surprised to see you didn't have "sniper" in your list, which is commonly defined as a ship (almost always a battleship, but not always) geared towards maximum damage and range at the expense of all else. They're most common in fleets, where they can rely on the support of smaller ships as they commonly have little or no tanking capability.
I didn't see "tank," "passive," or "active," either. While tank is easily definable and perhaps not needed, it might be nice for new players to know a "passive" tank relies on the intrinsic attributes of the ship for its defense (commonly augmented with modules light on the capacitor) such as sheer hitpoints, shield regeneration rate, or resistances, while an "active" tank features capacitor-heavy repairing modules and the modules required to keep them running.
If this is all useless gibberish, then so be it, but if it's useful then I'm happy to contribute. ---

Don't forget the mighty 'Alt'.
Alt = Alternate character on same account, or sometimes (probably a misnomer), character of second, third, etc., account.

Updated the list- thanks to all who have contributed. I told you there were some obvious ones I missed! :D
Update: Sunny Mooninite has another excellent guide here, focused on ship and module abbreviations. I updated my list with some, but not all of his- his is exhaustive with respect to ship/module abbreviations, so I recommend it for all your module needs.
Update 2 5/18/07: Thanks to Sakura Nihil, Aioa and Dark Shikari. Added several terms.
Update 3 5/18/07: Added several new terms. Thanks to Cyberflayer, Dotard and Han Quattro.

I just use kill, as in:
"I just killed that Stabber with Stiehl, my alliancemate" -> denotes I destroyed the ship, also you can replace 'that Stabber' with a pilots name, like:
"I just killed Keoryte with Stiehl, my alliancemate".
Originally by: Stefx I thought logoffski meant someones who logs out of the game while in combat
And you'd be right, especially when they're in a hopeless situation. Unless you state you podded or killed and podded him, we just generally assume you stopped at the ship.

Can you please edit your magnificent post and take into account some eyes simply cannot take the strain of red foreground text against black background?
My humble opinion on the matter is that either white or yellow will do a better job than red, to lessen eye strain while keeping attention focused on the title of the subject.

Another one that comes up fairly regularly for me is "point" referring to setting a scrambler on someone. Warp disruptors (and their counterparts) give one or tow "points" of scrambling.
I'll often read or hear 'Someone get a point on him!" Meaning someone really needs to lock and warp-scramble the ship. --- Wherever you go, there you are.

A sticky would be nice, but it's bad if the player who maintains the thread stops updating it. Jimer hasn't posted for a little while - he might be away, he might have lost interest or he might have given up hope of this ever getting a sticky. I have no idea, but I think that's why ISD are hesitant to sticky player-maintained threads like this.
Anyway, bump!

Scanalt: an alt who exists solely for the purpose of scanning or scouting potentially hostile system: not somebody's main, often a member of a noobcorp.
Main: the character you play most of the time
Noobcorp/Newbcorp/Newbie Corporation: One of the corporations that players are automatically assigned to when they start the game, such as the State War Academy. This is a type of NPC Corp.
NPC Corp: An NPC-run corporation. Players cannot join NPC corporations, but they can be assigned to them. When they start the game, they are assigned to a newbcorp. If they quit a player corporation, they will be assigned to a randomly-selected NPC corp.

Fair call, I think 'scanalt' might be an Agony-specific piece of jargon. (Then again, I haven't been in another large PVP corp.)
Seeing 'tanking' on the list make me think about the verb 'to break someone's tank' - to deliver more damage than the target will be able to endure. Often expressed in the negative, "I can't break his tank" (he repairs the damage at least as quickly as I damage him).
Edit: While I'm here, I think 'safespot' might be unclear for newbies.
SS: Safespot: A point in space that is not on the same grid as a station, celestial object or beacon. Being at a safespot (rather than a more easily-reached location) affords a degree of protection against hostile ships.

Hate to be a nosy knowitall, but QFT has two meanings; one original (true) and epidemic (false). However, the epidemic version is the one more commonly used, and thus it has replaced the original and is now true. Aaanyhow:
Quite Frankly True: Simply agreeing to the fact that was stated above.
Quoted For Truth: Quoting an idiotic post, or quoting posted facts in order to prevent the original poster from editing out the facts (or lack of facts). Quoting to preserve the truth.
Nowadays though, everyone says QFT in the meaning of Quoted For Truth, although the do in fact mean Quite Frankly True.
Just pointing that out ;)

RMR = Red Moon Rising
RMR was an Eve 'expansion' or update. Usually the big updates bring big changes to ships and modules, so people tag their threads with a prefix like [RMR] so that others know whether that thread is still relevant.
Right now we're on Revelations 2, so you'll see [Rev] and [Rev2] tags. RMR is old news, so info in those threads is probably outdated.

Impressive list, as a newb I found it very informative.
Quote: popped Having ones' ship destroyed (does not necessarily imply being podded)- "Those rats popped my phoon! :("
I've mined alot as a new player, and noticed the term 'pop' ('popping', 'popped') is also being used in conjunction with asteroids (roids) and cans. Eg. 'I popped that roid' or 'I'll pop your can, ok?'
Tyvm for the list ;) (yw)

Another one that I have come across is "Farm" or "Farming" ie. "Farming a mission"
Intentionally not completing a mission on time to continue to rack up bounty and loot. Since hearing about this I have done it on one particular mission to enable me to mine for the 2 week time limit of the mission before reporting it to the agent.
This is usually done on level 3 or 4 so the bounty/loot that piles up greatly outweighs the time bonus you lose for waiting until just before the mission expires.

RSD: Remote Sensor Dampener LSE: Large Shield Extender SPR: Shield Power Relay
RSDs because it's another common name for damps, and LSE and SPR because they are so often referred to when telling people how to fit their new Drake to not get it popped.
The use of II after most item names to denote the T2 version of the module, i.e. LSE II, SPR II.
And the ever-popular GTFOOJ (Get the **** Out Of Jita) and RTFPN (Read the ****ing Patch Notes).
And speaking of that evil system. . .
Jita: Eve's main trade hub Jita 4-4, or simply 4-4: Jita IV, Moon 4, Caldari Navy Assembly Plant, the station where most trade in Jita goes on. -------------------------------------------------- ICE Blueprint Sales FIRST!! -Yipsilanti Pfft. Never such a thing as a "last chance". ;) -Rauth |

Updated the list, cleaned up some stuff and moved a few definitions around to make room. If the list keeps growing I may have to start a new thread because I don't have enough room for the full list! :)
Thanks to all for the suggestions, and sorry for the delay in getting this updated.
SEARCh- we find sites for you! |

Nice idea.
However you forgot "Pew-pew" or "Pewpew" It's the sound of lazers firing (pulse really) but means shooting i.e "going out for some pew-pew", or "there will be plenty of pew-pew" (i am aware that you already know what it means)

I already have a definition for "bubble"- I modified it slightly to add the words "anchorable object" to it to make it clear it can be deployed by players.

A term I've came across which I'm not sure of is "Kiting", anyone shed some light on that for me please.

Added the definition for Kiting to the post. "Kiting" means to pull an aggroed NPC along like you've got a kite on a string, usually to keep out of effective weapons range or to pull it away from some other target.

I'd appreciate an Eve definition for "pet".
I hear it tossed around a lot (usually in reference to BoB). I'm not sure if it means the normal definition - like someone's pet cat - or if there's something more.

I'm running out of room in the list for new entries, so I'm going to start a new thread and add the definitions there sometime in the next day or so.
