Redundant Module Names of Module Function Redundancy.

The Problem:

  1. The Shield Booster… boots shields
  2. The Armor rep.. Repairs armor
  3. The Shield Transfer… Transfers Shields
  4. The Energy Transfer Array… Transfers Energy
  5. The Missile Launcher… Launches Missiles


Working Fine:

  • Ballistic Control System… Increases Missile Damage
  • Gyrostabilizer… Increases Projectile Damage
  • 280mm Howitzer… shoots artillery


Suggestion:

  1. Wolowitz Contingency… Boosts Shields
  2. Megatron Pulse… Repairs Armor
  3. Westfall Reaper… Transfers Shields
  4. Sisko Wormhole Transistor… Transfers Energy
  5. Icelandic Rock Trick… Launches Missiles


Admittedly my names are not the best but at least they are not redundant… even if they aren’t the best.

You seem to misunderstand the difference between redundant and descriptive.

I agree 100%.

EVE is too easy for new players.

I think all module names should be written in Amarrian.

Not a forum alt.

Shield transfer should be renamed to "Remote Shield Booster". Shield transfer implies that you are transfering your shield to them.

A real shield transfer is something completly different module that could run off of the capacity of the host ships shield. Whose capacity to actually TRANSFER shields would be augmented by how many shield extenders you have.

EDIT: wow, that would be an awesome module. Combine that with a couple auxillary shield boosters and suddenly any ship could be a shield logi ship.....

Nothing wrong with missile launchers, it's a fine IRL term and works fine in terms of not breaking immersion.

I, however, agree that there is a problem with naming.

Cap recharger sounds lame, especially if compared to meta names. Drone damage augmentor sounds like a WIP name too.
With all seriousness, watch your steps when giving names to items, CCP Smile

I agree with Tom, the descriptions are redundant as they're already contained in the name.

The module you suggest sounds good.

There is no shield transfer in game though, OP made it up. The name of the mod in question is "shield transporter", i.e. moves shield. While this still implies shield is being moved from somewhere its not as bad as shield transfer which implies the shield is moving from one ship to the other. The skill itself is shield emission and i don't know why they didn't keep that convention and call the mod a "shield emitter" i don't know.

Remote shield booster, shield emitter, shield projector, all much better than shield transporter IMO.

Hmm, we do have remote armor repair system and remote hull repair system, after all...

There is none. But his posting is so bad now, that I believe it's there.

Drone Damage Amplifiers had the cool sci-fi name of extrinsic damage amplifiers which sounds badass but they got lameified before release.

Bring back the Cold Gas ArcJet thrusters!
