The 800mm and 650mm "Repeating Artillery" pieces are autocannons and require the Large Autocannon Specialization skill to use the T2 variants. This is confusing when there is also a Large Artillery Specialization skill. "Repeating Artillery" should be changed to "Autocannon" or "Repeating Cannon" to avoid confusion.

CCP are messing the names up anyways.

They will be called Limited/Upgraded/etc/etc depending on meta lvl in the future.

Yes, please CCP, some sanity on the names would be most helpful ...

While we are fixing confusing gun names why dont we do somthing about the lazers? Medium lazers are light, heavey lazers are medium and Giga are mearly heavey. I know of at least one Frig torny kill mail that caused the acusation of cheet because it had an aparently medium sized weapon on it.

I would agree with this; however, EVE has a LOT of ****** up names. I'd frankly rather keep dealing with the odd names that currently exist than have to learn new ones. The missile name ****-up was an example of how ****** CCP is at changing that kind of stuff; lets not invite them to screw it up further...

Of all the module name changes, this one makes sense.

Yes, agreed. Never understood why they went with Artillery on Autocannons.

Dont forget renaming the Pulse beams too, such a Heavy or Mega modulated pulse energy BEAM
or the small laser turret names what is called medium guns (medium pulse laser).

There's a sticky on this in general discussion, so it looks like you'll get your wish. (And I agree).
