Yay, nice changes!

Could you please spare some time to fix the name on Sensor Damps?!

Dampening = getting something wet. (unless a SD is some sort of zero-G space watergun that aims for sensor arrays, I don't think this is what you mean the module to be named).


Damping = reducing effects.

Pretty please update this!

However, I saw the Auto-targeting Missiles and then immediately jumped to thinking they were going to get iterated on. Then I was slightly let down.


U and me both, was hoping for target painter assisted FOF missles ... but no apparently not

Just feel like saying that I don't like the market ordering changes for the implants, however I can see how it would be useful on some occasions. Is there any reason we can't have options for these kind of things? CCP seems to never add new options. :(

The ca-1 and ca-2 should be on the market on Sisi and on TQ sometime soon. :)

dampeningpresent participle of damp·en (Verb)
Verb
  1. Make slightly wet: "the fine rain dampened her face".
  2. Make less strong or intense: "nothing could dampen her enthusiasm".


Obviously, CCP is going with the 2nd definition.

I approve of the graph. Apparently my efforts have spread beyond Punkturis. Big smile

Ultimately there will be a national graph day!

STOP RENAMING STUFF!. what was wrong with it being called Friend or Foe? jesus christ does everything have to be dumbed down and made ambiguous? it used to be if you named something by just scourged you just told the person what sized missile and what type of damage, now it could be a any of a dozen missiles. HAMS need to stay hams because they were the counterpart to heavy missiles.

on the plus side the implants did need a massive reorganization and thank you for that.

Well technically friend or foe, wasn't always a fat lol, trust me i had a FOF at one day way back when i started that hit a friend in highsec got concorded was quite funny, but ya it shoots foes or friends, so auto-targeting seems wiser, especially since the launchers are already changed.

I will admit one of the talking points was no one wants to call them AM Drakes instead of HAM Drakes. Ham is just so tasty.

That has got to win some sort of award for "best reason for a game change".

Hi CCP FoxFour, welcome to CCP and the greater EvE community. Hope you like your new job and wish you long years and tons of fun doing it. Also, thank you for fixing all the inconsistent missile names, those really should not have been left behind. As for renaming the F.O.F missiles to Auto Targeting, I do understand that the naming convention would make things easier for new players but I do hope you will remember us bitter old Killboard admins who have to put up with broken killmails for weeks before a DB update is pushed out. Now, the F.O.F missiles are rarely used so its no big deal but any time a popular item undergoes a name change a lot of KB admins begin to cry. So next time please think of that under-appreciated group. Thanks.

It seems so. It irks me all the same as the second definition came about from common misuse. Call me a purist, but this was drilled into me in the college of engineering. In the world of electronic controls or vibrations, dampening does not belong.
