scourge does have a better ring to it then trauma, what is this doctors online?

Having the same name for damage type makes things simpler, consistent. But that name should be cool, heavy missiles being the most commonly used with the popular scourge, scourge should be the name of kinetic.

Bumping.

The trolls here have not formed a decent argument as to why the name change doesn't matter. It does.

Yous are all just trolling

The older names were pure win, not least because they gave Eve online a certain flavour that the current names are not capable of emulating. I for one will always associate the 'Paradise' class missile with the better days of Eve gone by. IMO CCP need help understanding just what is ********, and what isn't.

Yes...people get offended by the word because they are ignorant to it's meaning.

Is there any other type of missile except Scourge....ummm...I mean Trauma?

It's just a name and no real hassle to remember after awhile.

I am sure CCP have better things to fix than missile names.

I want my scourge back

AND NOT ONLY THAT but I want my cold gas thrusters back too

I personally think this falls in same category with removal of ship hangar.

New names are better.

Then why did they change them in the first place?

The old names were effective and people are used to them. There is really no reason to change the names. And do you really think a newb uses the market search feature to find missiles? More than likely they will look in the browse feature to find missiles, and just find the properly colored one.

I have been playing since 2004, and I was very comfortable with the old names. I was attracted to Eve because it was mind-numbingly complex. In 2004, playing Eve was like being invited to speak at a Mensa meeting, you knew you were the best of the best and you played THE elite game that others ran screaming from.

So yes, I miss the old names, and I shudder to think of the lesser classes getting into Eve. Dumbing-down Eve is a loss to every player who struggled, and succeeded at playing the best game in the world.

Now, any dumbass can pick it up in a few months! And no more learning skills? No more six-months of struggling to gain access to a ship worthy of a level four mission?

I still do not think there is any better game in the world than Eve, but the gap has been narrowed. Instead of being head and shoulders above the second-best game in the world, Eve is now but a few hairs best. How long will it be before Eve is passe?

Still playing, after all these years...
