Nothing against you personally CCP Gnauton, but this is possibly the stupidest (however not the most damaging) series of changes that CCP has ever done. You are not just dumbing down the game and making it more generic, you are also making things more confusing by making the modules names more similar and less colorful.
In the Test Server feedback forum you were presented with several methods to achieve your goal of making the nomenclature more informative and streamlined, yet preserving the color and history of the world. You ignored these, and now there isn't a single response from you in this thread.
In your blog you lament the fact that these changes went "uncommunicated" by CCP, yet you somehow don't understand that this particular communication has to be interactive and iterative to be useful. Otherwise you might as well just inform us of the changes in the patch notes. |

+1 Bullshit. It's only non-sexy, since he chose to use boring ass names in the naming. It should have been seen as an opportunity to add sexyness and coolness to the names, while also improving on the functionality. It never had to be one or the other. PS. I refuse to believe that names like trauma and limited can be considered cool or sexy names by any sane person. Completely agree. Way to miss the opportunity CCP. |

"T2" technology is made to be attuned to capsuleers. The navies do not use capsuleers in their army, and will not ever as capsuleers are loose cannons. The problem with using RP arguments is that they don't work because the 'official canon' is contradictory at best and just plain silly at worst. In this case the Empyrean Age novel is pretty specific on the empire navies using capsuleers since some of those are among the book's central protagonists.
p.s. Fucking_forums tried to eat this post. Thanks to Lazarus I got it back. |

Gee CCP Gnauton, for a 'Senior Writer' you sure don't right much. |

CCP Soundwave wrote:Hey dudes!
Thanks for the feedback. It seems like the implants are being pretty well received (under the circumstances) but the missiles not so much. We'll sit down in the morning and look at the possible solutions. Thanks for posting! In case this hasn't been mentioned before, please don't forget about the modules, and especially the propulsion modules whose names were generified in one of the previous patches.
Thanks. |

You keep repeating this strawman as if hoping that repetition will make it true. It is not needless complexity anymore than the different nomenclatures for Intel, AMD, or nVidia products that perform similar functions. Your failure to recognize this highlights your inability to think even a little outside your box.
There are many good suggestions in this thread and others for methods to allow for a streamlined and usable nomenclature while keeping (or even improving) the color and history of the world of EVE. Yet a CCP employe, ironically carrying the title of a "Senior Writer", just doesn't seem to get it and instead insists on towing the line of some clueless marketing postulate to try and make the game more approachable. All the while making the game more confusing and more generic instead. |
