    "energy" And "power" Used Interchangeably To Confusing Effect

    in Art, Animation, & UI

    Posted · Edited by Bonusround

    I've noticed that the terms "Energy" and "Power" are used simultaneously to describe the resource you spend on your warframes' abilities. For instance picking up a blue orb restores "Energy" whereas using an ability expends "Power." Flow and Energy Siphon refer to this resource as power while, all the mods that affect the range, strength and efficiency of your abilities refer to them as powers, further compounding the issue. Additionally, the helmets that increase your maximum resource are phrased inconsistently.

     

    Gauss Mag - "Max Energy"

    Phoenix Ember & Locust Ash - "Energy Capacity"

    Espirit Vauban - "Power Max"

     

    I've been tripped up by this a few times, (mostly while trying comparing the Vauban helmet to others) and I'd think that new players could be a bit confused at times when trying to figure out what the difference between power and energy is only to find out there isn't one. It would be nice to see some uniformity when referring to this resource. Seeing it called energy across the board would be a good change I think, since spending power on a power isn't really all that clever.
