Am i the only one who thinks T2 Hybrid ammo needs to be re-named?
These names are very confusing and tend to get mixed up. Besides it makes no sense, like, a Javelin is something you throw (long range) while a spike is well, short (short range). But in Eve reality this is the other way around.

So, to open the discussion I urge players to submit in this thread possible names for Hybrid T2 ammo. Obviously pointing out which is which.

Why is it difficult to remember x= 1 and y = 2? Naming be damned just read the description and remember...

It is confusing but for a different reason.


Javelin ammo - short range railgun ammo.

Javelin torps - long range torpedo...

So which one is it? Short range or long range?

fair point, not something I've ever considered. Also not something I've ever had trouble with since hybrids are my primary weapon type.

Also, holy hell COLD-Wing is still around?

Thanks for pointing this out.

Agreed, they should change the names into something that elaborates the functionality like:

Limited Advanced Railgun Charge
Experimental Advanced Railgun Charge
Dark Pangolin

apologies for off-topic, but my corp has a three-and-a-half year old beef with you guys (at least with the 4th district, but more specifically CAIN) that's the source of our collective disdain for rpers (particularly caldari and amarr). Seeing your post brought up some memories of some good and bad times.
