I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of veterans suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced |

Missiles: We still do firmly believe in the usability of a single name across all missiles of a given damage type, but the "Trauma" designator seems to have violently struck a nerve with several of you guys. Since this is early days for this project, anything is possible. If anybody can come up with a sufficiently convincing and objective reason for why this name is the infernal love-child of bad taste and cluelessness, then I will seriously consider changing it. (I'm thinking something like "Anguish" might be good, whaddaya think? Just kidding, I like being alive.)
How about Scourge? :)

Just to throw my opinion in, I think you should reset all the changes. I don't think changing the names like this helps with the NPE really. They will still have to look at the attributes on each of the modules to decide what they want to fit, or it won't actually matter an they'll buy the cheapest or fit what is already in their haul.
If you want to clarify the damage types, add it as a "EM/EXP" bit to the name to make it clearer, but how are you handling projectile/hybrid ammo?
It makes complete RP sense for the different missile types to have different names like they did. A Thorn rocket would be a very different thing to a scourge heavy missile. Completely different size, ranges, weight, payload etc. The only thing that would be the same is the type of damage they do, so why call them both Trauma? The change has just made it HARDER to find them in the market or items window. Instead of searching for "Thorn" and finding a load of relevant results, I now have to search for Trauma Heavy. Except that doesn't work, because it misses out the Rages and Javelins!
The prop mod changes are a real shame. They are some of the best named items in the game IMHO and I really miss them. I actually think it's more confusing now. I keep looking for Experimental 1MN MWD, but it doesn't exist, instead I need to look for the Limited? Yet there is an Experimental 10MN MWD? How is this any easier than searching for Catalyzed Cold-Gas I Arcjet Thrusters for the best meta mwd or Cold-Gas I Arcjet Thrusters for the AB one? It says a lot that I can still remember them to dump them here.
Implants is a good move. +1 on them.
Just as an anecdotal point, I've flown with and trained loads of newbies and I don't remember a single complaint about being able to tell the difference between them by name. I do remember people talking about how they liked the names though :/ |

Shame we aren't getting the colourful names back, but this will do :DDDD
