Implants Names changes are a great improvement.
Module Names suck due to the fact that not all items have all 1-4 metal levels in the game that is one thing.
The others is you are replacing unintuitive prefixes with a generalized unintuitive prefix.
In my opinion you are complicating things or merely half way solving the problem, generalization is good but why not just put MT1-MT4 in front or back of the already existing names this will keep the established names that have been around for years buy also add the Meta Level tag for quick reference.
Best place would be at the end of the name!
Why is this better?
- Names remain unchanged and this leaves you again with the freedom to come up with god knows what names.
- Meta level is there for quick reference.
- Old players are happy that they can keep the old habits while they get the improved meta tag.
- Both search by meta tag and normal old names remain simultaneously
- Old Killboards can e easily fixed/ Killmails can be fixed by simple queries.
- Resists should also keep they're name and could get a resist prefix besides the end Meta tag.
- This keeps old flavour but also adds the resist type: EM/KN/TH/EX/AD - Electro Magnetic/Kinetic/Thermal/Explosive/Adaptive
- This would create the generalization without removing the old established names.
All around focus on ADDING Value instead of Replacing VALUE.
What you did with the propulsion modules was quite bad now its harder then before to sort them.
Contrary to what you believe the prefixes you chose are too long and unintuitive. The shorter and the more direct the better.
Besides short suffixes also clears DB storage space in the long run and makes communication less hard on bandwidths, is a WIN-WIN-WIN situation ;) |

How about adding the meta level to the item icon ? Like we have the T2 designation (yellow corner), we can have another corner with the meta number .... problem solved, no need for renaming ....
Because you can not search for numbers in pictures....

That's CCP's new "Intelligence Filter", for situations like these. In order to stop people from making long forum posts which may show how poorly thought out the developer's changes are, CCP's forum now eliminates said posts with a vengeance. I've learned to ctrl-a crtl-c a decade ago before trusting any significant chunk of text to the intertubes. I usually do, didn't this time =/ 1) Have Firefox 2) Install Lazarus plug in (saves anything as you type it and will restore it at a mouse click). 3) ... 4) Profit!
Had to post mine twice too, Ctrl+a -> Ctrl+c, never trust the intertubes to always get it right. |
