tttssssssss... aw yeah that's the stuff!

Problem with "stim pack" is that it's got the same abbreviation as "speed pack". Isn't that the main reason for changing it in the first place?

Besides, I think the Devs would want to stay away from any kind of drug reference... especially the blatant ones like "crack pack".

Kinetic Pack
Repair Spike

Seriously, speed pack is the best of the lot.

The logic can even be that it injects you with speed and that's why you go faster.

See above your post..... ^^^^^^ :rolleyes:

Kinetic Pack doesn't describe much:

ki·net·ic ( P ) Pronunciation Key (k-ntk, k-)
adj.
Of, relating to, or produced by motion.

So basically, you're equipping yourself with something that relates to or produces motion. That is not what the speed pack does, therefore, the name is useless. Shield pack provides a shield, energy pack, energy so on and so forth.

The stim pack, while *might* have a negative connotation truly defines its purpose:

stim·u·late ( P ) Pronunciation Key (stmy-lt)
v. stim·u·lat·ed, stim·u·lat·ing, stim·u·lates
v. tr.
To increase temporarily the activity of (a body organ or part).

Thus, the name proves to be more 'useful' as its purpose outweighs the silly 'omg a stimulant is a drug omgogmgomgomggmo' attitude.

ahh, thats the stuff!
anywy my vote goes to D.A.R.T./S.T.I.M.

S.T.I.M. stands for
Stimulating
Trunk
Integrated
Manipulator
fine, if you dont want me to have a sig ill link to it :)

Adrenaline because it sounds like something useful, whether or not it will be IG.

Shield Pack sounds useful out of contex.

Energy Pack sounds useful out of contex.

Speed Pack sounds confusing out of contex. What exactly does it "Speed"?

Repair Pack sounds useful out of contex.

Adrenaline would also work with the little graphic of three green vials they have for the pack. At least I think that's the Speed pack graphic :|

Quick Pack makes the most sense.

c-c-c-c-rackpack

How about the "SemiAuto" pack :p

Adrenaline Pack and Repair Pack sound the best to me.

Here are some name suggestions for the speed pack:

Overdrive Pack - Makes the body function at its limit.
Time Pack - Injects a drug that makes the user's perception of time slower.
Hyper Pack
Stress Pack

And then some suggestions for the repair turret:

Shaman - Maybe a bit too cliché.
Repair Sprinkler - Its function is obvious from the name.

Adrenaline Pack and Repair Pack sound the best to me.Another repair pack? I thought we were talking about the repair turret?
Fast pack.
Repair Spike.

Simple, elegant, acronym friendly. :roller:

Velocity Pack

I like DART, as well.

as i posted before:
haste pack
repair turret

i have also taken a liking to adrenaline pack

surge ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sûrj)
v. surged, surg·ing, surg·es
v. intr.
To increase suddenly: As favorable reviews came out, interest in the software surged.
To improve one's performance suddenly, especially in bettering one's standing in a competition.

acronym doesn't change, but o well... still like that one the best; even though I really don't see what's wrong with "speed pack."

Wait wait wait I got it
The speed pack should be called "The Pulse Sensor"

If the reasoning was that SP (shield pack) conflicted with SP (speed pack) you could think out of the box and rename the shield pack to something else as well.

As first poster on this new bandwagon, I propose defensive pack and cardboard shell.
