Everything the guy above me said. Except, please no numbers for the meta levels. Meta levels are where you can let the fluff for the faction come through. Amarr would use something religious oriented. How about the names of various divine beings to symbolize meta level? You could do something simple like put them in alphabetical order so they are easy to remember.

How about, in the order from ML1 to ML4: "Seraph -> Hayyoth -> Elohim -> Archangel (or Archai if you don't want to make an Angel Cartel reference)"

The naming structure could work so the meta level description goes after the size. To borrow the convention of the person above me, you would have a 'Focused Medium Archangel Beam Laser' or a 'Light Seraph Pulse Laser Array'

also, "co-axiel" is a great science fiction sounding word for use in descriptions.

Instead of gatling, try 'rotary', or 'multicrystal'.
