Hello all,
I have a small request to make of anyone who might be able to contribute.
These forums are a great source of education about the game. However, the EVE community has developed a lot of its own language and abbreviations, and for anyone who isn't familiar with this vernacular, extracting information from some threads gets a little difficult. Some things are pretty intuitive and can be figured out from context (things like ganked and BC (Battle-Cruiser)) but others are a little tougher to figure out.
I'd like to request that, if there already isn't a thread/alternative source where this information can be found, this thread be a place for an EVE abbreviation/acronym/slang listing.
If something like this already exists, please, show me the way :)
Thank you in advance.

Edited by: Occasus Vim on 30/03/2006 00:01:32 That is -exactly- what I was looking for. Many thanks. This will help, but it does not appear to be exhaustive.

I'll piece together what I can that isn't in the Dictionary list.
R&D = Research and Development RMR = Red Moon Rising Devs = Developers BC = Battlecruiser Indy = Industrial ship? Inty = Interceptor? NOS/nosses = Nosferatu module CO = Covert Ops CPR = Capacitory Power Relay HAC = [I still don't know what this is, despite searching] SP = Skill Points Ganked = killed (I think) RP = Research Points OR Role-play Aggro = [I don't know what this is either]
There's lots more, but that's what I got off the top of my head. Any help?

Heavy Assault Cruiser of course.
Originally by: Occasus Vim
Aggro = [I don't know what this is either]
Aggroing is making something turn aggressive towards you (i.e. shoot at you).

Why Heavy Assaults are abbreviated HAC, I don't know, though, as the official name is Heavy Assault Ship. THen again, 'HAS' doesn't sound near as good, nor is it as descriptive as 'HAC' ('cause it's well, a cruiser.)
I'm not making much sense, am I? Should stop posting right after getting up.

Think it was cause the first assault type ships where assault frigates=AF And how exactly do you adapt to potentially getting killed by everybody you kill? -Nero Scuro If I miss you, it will be because my tracking is a little off. - Grey Area |

Is that even possible?
Though, make sure you don't just post that, since it's considered spam and will result in pain and torture.

other popular acronyms include 'OMG', 'STFU', 'WTF' and bizzarely 'BBQ'.
PWN isn't an acronym though.
no skills, just luck.

HACs are called that because they were originally labeled Heavy Assault Cruiser. Only later got it changed to Heavy Assault Ship. Same for PDU, originally it were Power Diagnostic Units, now they are Power Diagnostic Systems.

Slowly figuring out a few more...
WCS - Warp Core Stabilizer Which leads to 'Stabs' - Stabilizers.
What are instas?
Ftw or 4tw - For the win?
Reading these forums sometimes reminds me of those days when I had forgotten to study for my Latin translation exam.

insta's are bookmarks placed in space that when warped to from a specific location (usually the gate you just jumped into the system from) drop you out of warp right on top of another stargate. Mostly used for travel since it cuts down on the total time and makes it much more difficult for somebody to catch and bbq your ass. I don't have a sig :( |

There already is a wiki - not too complete yet...but a decent start.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_online
I have a couple acronym questions?
What's a NAP? What's CWE?
The dictionary indicates that PoS is Pod on Sight. What does that mean? And doesn't POS indicate Player Owned Starbase/Structure?
Thanks in advance.

PWNED/PWND
Its not really an abreviation.. dunno what you call it.
its from OWNED/OWND, but with script kiddies that wanna be l33t its pwnd (i think)
basically it when you beat someone/thing so easily, titans pwn everything, meaning they can beat, kill, win over pretty much everything.
ganked is a bit more then killed, its Overkill. Usually refers to pirates, ganking indies in a battleship, or something to that effect.
This post does not relfect the opinions of the Ushra'Khan or any of its members.

never seen pod on sight, but in that context its pretty much KOS (kill on sight) which is much more common, but stipulating that the pod (capsule) should be junked too.
POS will always mean player owned structure if you hear it used

also, you'll see in that list, the thorax is shortened to t-rax. Other ships will be shortened this way. f/ex:
n-hawk: nighthawk n-mare: nightmare
CBC means "command battle cruiser" - the command ships a nano will be a nanofiber OD is overdrive ext is shield extender PDU is power diagnostic system (don't ask about the U) BCU is ballistic control system (don't ask about the U again) DC is damage control
SB is the worst acronym ever, depending on context it means: Sheild Booster Sensor Booster Smartbomb
skills wise: AWU is advanced weapon upgrades ESO is energy systems operation SC is spaceship command ASC is advanced spaceship command TSM is tactical shield manpulation
there are probably a lot more, but thats enough for now i think
