Let me help you guys out by cutting into this with a more definitive answer.
You either create your own nomenclature system, or you use the one presently in place - regardless of if you've made contact with Yamatai or not.
Consider this measure something of advanced preparation if you've reduced to using humankind's standard: say if later you're discovered and that trade starts happening on the civilian end, and that intel agents make thier reports about what they've observed... they're going to have to label it something sooner or later. You're just doing this work for them in advance.
If not, well, you're free to create your own thing.
This is what
should be happening. But, if you've gone through the NTSE process with getting stuff approved despite lacking that,
good for you. Just know that it might catch up with you later on once Wes notices and takes exception on it. Especially on the level of making things marketable in the Kikyo sector. So basically, if you don't do it, you're just putting off work until later. Which is okay, but it's smarter to take care of it/figure it out earlier on.
Why does this happen? Because NTSE mods have to make calls, and Staff trusts them to make good ones. Therefore -
@FrostJaeger - you will kindly cease policing our NTSE mods. If you have reservations on how they work, you come to us privately through the forum's Conversation functionality; you don't attempt to put them into question in a thread like this.
