Tiericide, fine, but keep the damn naming interesting. Don't want Scoped railguns or Restrained whatever, it just sounds stupid. Use thesaurus, keep the names immersive, and leave the trademarks be! Don't you touch my IFFAs and my Faint Epsilon scramblers.

Added. And if you stick to your plan of making it all bleak and boring, does it mean you will be renaming MWDs again? Heh.

Who ever came up with the naming scheme for the new modules is the most bland and boring person ever. I hate myself for saying this, but the names need more psssshhhh.

Hello Fozzie,

I love the work you are doing and you obviously care greatly about our game. However, as many other have said, those names remove a layer of depth and immersion from the game.

I remember when I started the game part of what kept me around was the excitement of finding some obscurely named item and then having to research a bit to see if it was worth anything. That is was very engaging to a 2 month old newbie in a poorly fit Vexor and his 4 hobgoblin I's.

I have dipped my toe into other MMOs and come running back to Eve every time, part of it was the fact that item naming was so simplistic and I essentially had a bunch of junk with the same name in my bag.

I implore you to consider keeping the legacy names in some way on each item, I feel that you are removing some of the "color" from the game. Perhaps add the new names as "traits" in the show info or have them appear when you mouse over the item.

Thanks for reading

Would this not work better?

Co-Processor Of the Tiger
Co-Processor Of the Bear
Co-Processor Of the Gorilla
Co-Processor Of the Boar
Co-Processor Of the Monkey
Co-Processor Of the Falcon
Co-Processor Of the Wolf
Co-Processor Of the Tiger
Co-Processor Of the Eagle
Co-Processor Of the Whale
Co-Processor Of the Owl

This new "simple" naming scheme is horrible and takes out a whole lot of flavor from the game. For the sake of being special, decide for one of the old Meta 1-4 names and make it "Compact B88 Micro Auxiliary Power Core" or something similar. Reducing names to a set of mere standard name pieces for all the modules removes a great deal of felt variety from the game, which is bad in my opinion.

Are you going to modify the drop rates when you remove a module from a specific lineup? You probably need to reduce the drop rates of meta 1-3 a little now that invention won't use them. I realise that the current meta-4 value will be distributed over some of the other metas but I doubt it is adequate given the enormous supply and existing invention demand.

No, the new naming conventions are great for coders / dev and boring for customers.

Ed: forgot, can you quit all ready, so we can stop reading your lies?

The part about "Merging Invention with Reverse Engineering" near the bottom.

It comes down to meta items will no longer be a part of the invention process. At least if I'm reading it right.

After playing around the the capacitor recharge differential equation a bit, it appears that the capacitor power relay will continue to provide superior cap / second recharge in all circumstances, while using less CPU to fit and not giving a capacitor amount penalty. The only real benefit here is the active shield tanked ships who don't want the -10% shield boost penalty will be able to make somewhat more use of flux coils. It'd be far more interesting to have them provide a better recharge than power relays at the cost of capacitor quantity.

This also allows for more potent cap reduction to reach jump cap faster I guess, but that's a somewhat niche use.

I like the module changes but please don't do this with the names!

The best idea with names would be to use NPC manufacturing corps have names on them, for example Amarrian modules that use less fitting could be named "Zoar and Sons Reactor Control Unit".
