"Heavy Assault Missile Launchers have become Assault Missile Launchers

While I can somewhat see why you would want to simplify naming conventions for your modules, even if I don't agree with it, this is just stupid.
It leads only to confusion and serves no purpose. (a¦á_a¦â) ~ http://getoutnastyface.blogspot.com/ ~ (a¦á_a¦â) |

Lolz. Yeah, this makes simpler because you see... We now have a class of launchers called Light Missile Launchers. They use Light Missiles. Light Missiles are also used in what is now known as Light Missile Arrays which specifically means that they use Light Missiles in an array type formation rather than simply launching Light Missiles. Wait, huh?
Who makes these decisions anyhow? Do they play the game? Do they know that by trying to fix A they didn't fix A and made B worse?.. This does nothing to remove complexity in the naming schema of launchers that use light missiles. CCP Gnauton, do you know the difference between ex-AMLs and ex-SMLs?
Edit: god, I couldn't even type this post without ******* up the names (also I'm tired). Edited blah blah. |

It seems to me to make perfect sense.
Torpedo launchers fire torpedoes.
Assault launchers fire assault missiles
Light missile launchers and light missile arrays fire light missiles. |

See, that would be okay if one could find all launchers by searching for "launcher". Now you can't. This is dumb. Yeah, the old name was bad too because ex-AMLs don't use assault missiles, but the new name kind of spits in the face of the supposed goal of this project: making things more clear and obvious.
Rapid Light Missile Launcher, Accelerated Light Missile Launcher, Enhanced Light Missile Launcher even. I'm bad at names and won't pretend otherwise, but these at least capture the idea behind the AMLs. |

"Assault Missile Launchers have become Light Missile Arrays" I think that is simple mistake in devblog, because in current data assault missiles known as Rapid Light Missile Launchers. But still there is no official dev response on this. |

Wait, gunnery is next I hear. They are going to have a field day with beam and pulse lasers; and all those XXXmm scout/gauss/prototype/compressed coil launchers? Kiss them goodbye, they will all be standardized. |

This is why we need search tags.
That way modules can be named whatever the frack CCP wants and we'll still find all launchers when we search for 'launcher'.
Profit? |

Missile array... is that like a missile pod? That would be cool... Each array hold 5 missiles and you fire them all at one time. 15 second reload... |

This renaming is sh!t.
Why?
Easy, it's called memory patterns.
We won't recall differences between very slight differences but we recall diverse and unique labels. It's also the mechanism used in "branding" (you want to say you have a Gucci purse, not a "mildly experimental purse").
Therefore calling something "upgraded" says very little, they may as well say "meta 1".
Saying Catalyzed Cold-Gas Arcjet Thrusters is a very unique (and cool) name, you'll have higher chances to recall it's an enhanced AB than just flagging it with some generic adjective.

As a relatively new/inexperienced player I can see what they're trying to accomplish is a noble goal, but its far, far too late. I'd much prefer something akin to the previously mentioned 'tag' system (and for pete's sake include searching the market for these modules in the tutorials). Best of both worlds - newer players (or those of us without Eidetic Memory trained to V IRL) find it easier to distinguish modules, older vets still know what they're talking about and get to keep their insane acronyms. |

May I say, your sig is more and more full of win, rodyas.
Have to agree that this is another example of not thinking things through on CCP's part.
