I have looked for a RIG that increases CPU, but have found nothing. All I have found are Survey Specific RIGS that decrease amount of CPU needed for those Mods. Are there RIGS that increase CPU? TIA |

There is no ship rig with just a general CPU improvement, they are all associated with particular mod groups.

WHY DO SO many people capitalize every word that HAS three OR less letters?

Same reason some people like to do stupid and nonsensical abbreviations. "Mos"? Even if correctly typed with the apostrophe, "mo's", it would still be damn hard to figure he meant modules, if you didn't read his post. The subject line makes zero sense currently tho. The same goes for everyone posting "mio" when they want to abbreviate 'million', the more common and more logical 'mil' is probably just not sexy enough. Or it's just cool to be as confusing as possible.

Normally to signify that the word is an abbreviation. like CPU means Central Processing Unit
However the word Rig, is a word and should not be capitalized.

I think the 'mio' abbreviation is a european thing, whereas the UK and US tend to use 'mil' as you stated.

I'm european.
I didn't see people post "mio" until 2008 or something, and that was mainly ev0ke-players, so it could be a small inbreed german thing that later exploded.

the word you are looking for is "acronym"
CPU is an abbreviation or initialism, not an acronym. An acronym is an abbreviation that is pronounced as a word, like laser or NASA. |
