Hardwiring implants have names that are not descriptive. For example:

Zainou 'Gnome' KTA10
Inherent Implants 'Noble' ZET330
Eifyr and Co 'Rogue' EY-1

I propose to change their names using the following format:
[Manufacturer] - [Effect] [Generation]

Their new names would be:

Zainou - Launcher CPU Reduction Mk. 1
Inherent Implants - Hull Hitpoints Mk. 4
Eifyr and Co - Afterburner Duration Mk. 3

The generation of an implant is determined as follows: the weakest bonus is Mk. 1, the second weakest Mk. 2 and so on. In this way we can immediately determine what an implant does and how strong it is without needing to check its description or attributes.

There is an initiative underway to revamp a number of module and item names, and the Hardwiring implants are part of that. The solution we'll implement is not at all dissimilar to what you propose. More information on the whole shebang forthcoming shortly.

Hey, will this include adding the suffix "script" to all script names, e.g., "scan resolution script" instead of "scan resolution"?

This would make it much easier to find scripts in hangar or on the market, as we could just search for "script" and they'd all come up.

Why not change some ship names, too?

The Jaguar can become the Kite, Hawk becomes... The Bad, the Cerberus can become the Panda (because it's almost too overspecialized for it's own good), and the Rifter can become 'PvP frigate A'.

:\

THIS IS STUPID, Renaming things is a pointless change.

rather then renaming items why not just improve the search to allow searching for 'mwd' or 'active hardener' , 'lse' etc?
I'm sure a lot of people are going to be annoyed at having to learn all the names again
and especially the ones for prop mods are very dull and generic and sound nothing like a space game

It's not about improving the search, though that would be useful also.

It's about letting you immediately see how good a module is without checking its attributes or memorizing names. For example open the market group for stasis webifiers: you'll see list of webs and the only ones whose name clearly identifies their quality is the regular tech 1 and the tech 2 ones. The others have arbitrary names that have no relationship to how good they are, or in case of hardwirings, what they actually do.

So you want to not have to know anything, but would like the same insight as the people that do?
You think that helps you how? After all, you still do not know why it is better, maybe you just bought snake oil because someone told you to?

I hope they don't take our PWNAGE away :(

This whole renaming initiative is just wrong. You are dumbing down the game by taking advice from the instant gratification crowd. You are destroying years of EVE history and color to make things easier for those who won't put the time in to learn the local culture. Think about it.

Edit: some examples of what I really don't like (before/after):

"Quad LiF Fueled Booster Rockets"
"Prototype 100MN MicroWarpdrive I"

"LiF Fueled Booster Rockets"
"Experimental 100MN Afterburner I"

"Phased Monopropellant I Hydrazine Boosters"
"Upgraded 1MN Microwarpdrive I"

"Catalyzed Cold-Gas Arcjet Thrusters"
"Limited 1MN MicroWarpdrive I"

"Y-T8 Overcharged Hydrocarbon Microwarpdrive"
"Experimental 10MN MicroWarpdrive I"

"Monopropellant Hydrazine Boosters"
"Limited 1MN Afterburner I"

"Cold-Gas Arcjet Thrusters"
"Experimental 1MN Afterburner I"

"Y-S8 Hydrocarbon Afterburners"
"Experimental 10MN Afterburner I"

EVE is not about remembering strange, unrelated names.
Renaming items to make the naming logical and easy to apprehend is not "dumbing down" EVE.

People who use these hardwiring implants are usually players wanting complexity in games.

I use hardwirings and wrote a thread about descriptive hardwiring names. Why? Because I like to use them. I do not like having to consult some out of game resource to find out what hardwiring I'm actually looking for.

Changing names is an easy out at the cost of slowly ruining the depth of your world.

Few have any interest in senseless complexity as you do. Senseless because it achieves nothing except making us search longer.

Life must be very confusing for you with the myriad 'senseless' names for most everything.

You do know that EVE is not the real life, right?
