I've completed the rework of the tanks naming. Not quite 400 parts were renamed across the various supported mods. Take a look on GitHub. In the end, the prefixes used are: FL ("Fuel Level") -- regular liquid fuel + oxidizer tanks FS -- single-ended liquid fuel + oxidizer tanks FV -- adapter liquid fuel + oxidizer tanks; i.e. tanks that have different diameters top and bottom OL -- for monopropellant tanks Ar -- for Argon tanks Li -- for Lithium tanks Xe -- for Xenon tanks UH -- Holding tanks (for Ore) NL ("Nuclear Liquid") -- liquid fuel only tanks, for use with Nuclear engines YD -- Hydrogen Tanks If you care strongly one way or the other, now would be a good time to say something. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to playing with these changes!

It seems at some point, the original HG-5 part was replaced by a new in-game part with the same name/title. Could you re-add this antenna? If it's helpful, the new part name is HighGainAntenna5_v2. P.S. Thanks for this awesome mod, and thanks for keeping it up to date! (I also created an issue on GitHub, but hope this might be seen sooner.)

@flart Ok, I'll tackle fuel tanks, and leave the engines for now. I'd like to do something about the engine sorting, but that can be revisited on a later date.

flart: firstly, thank you for you work to get this set up and to maintain it. I booted up KSP after sometime away, and this was one of the first things I installed to try and make sense of the parts available to me. However, I couldn't, at a glance, make sense of what fuel tanks or rocket engines were available to me. For fuel tanks, I'd like to propose renaming them FL-<diameter>-<capacity> <"nice" name>. So you get like this: I'm tentatively using "FV" for adapter tanks (between two sizes), and "FW" for one sided tanks, like nose cones. If they how different fuels (the above are LF + Ox), a different prefix should be used. For rocket engines, I'm following a similar pattern, as when I'm looking for a engine, I want to know 1) what fuel does it use? 2) what size is it? and 3) how much power does it give out? Thus the proposed naming is LV-<diameter>-<vacuum thrust> <"nice" name>. So you get this: So "LV" for LF + Ox engines (Does "LV" stand for "Liquid Vector"?), "IX" for the ion engine, "NV" for nuclear engines. "R" (as a diameter) means "radial mount" and "F" means "flat mount". My default would have been to open a pull request on GitHub, but I thought posting here might generate more useful discussion. If anyone has a better idea on how to tackle this, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks!
