Topic: Strange module names

If you will scan an EW turret you will see strange module names:
Webber, Damperer, Jammer

I investigated a bit and got that

Webber is demob
Damperer is supressor
Jammer is ECM

Why devs gave such names to turret modules? hmm

Re: Strange module names

they dont have "names" at all. What you see on the scans, are the internal codenames. They can be seen because noone deemed it necessary to give them "translations"

backtroundknowledge:

internally all demobs are named "webber", as the idea behind them is a 1:1 copy of the EvE equipment that works the same way.

internally the magnetic weapons are called "Railguns", but they have been named "EM-Guns" in really early closed beta, because it was so obvious EvE clone wink

btw, wrong forum section -> this belongs to localisation, though suspect its on purpose in open discussion, pointing out the EvE resemblence wink

that's pretty funny since i remember reading an old interview where they said that eve had no influence on them at all and that the kinds of mechanics they came up with are just similar because they're both sandboxes in the same vein... lol.
