    Handy little list!

    You might consider;

    EP2W: Emergency Power To Weapons
    EP2S: Emergency Power To Shields
    EP2E: Emergency Power To Engines
    AP2SIF: Auxiliary Power to the Structural Integrity Field

    I'm not 100% on that last one, can someone please confirm if it's Aux or Emergency

    This is a good idea.

    Don't forget the various acronyms for STF missions. Those are the ones that I have seen the most questions about in chat tabs.

    *On a side note my brain may soon go into "acronym overload" on account of all the acronyms that I have in my head but that is ok.

    I normally see it written as Aux2SIF or sometimes A2SIF.
    I am more accustom to emergency powers being EPtX rather than EP2X
    HYT is an acceptable variant to THY
    You're missing Charged Particle Burst (CPD), Photonic SHockwave (PSW) and Tykens Rift (TR)

    Also the old STF (Spefial Task Force) abbreviations (I'm not as familiar with the new ones since I can't remember things like if the ground map is cure found or cure applied)
    STF
    KA: Khitomer Accord
    C: Cure
    I: Infected
    H: Hive

    Type:
    G: ground
    S: Space

    Difficulty:
    N: normal
    E: Elite

    KASE : Khitomer Accord Space Elite
    IGN: Infected Ground Normal
    etc.
    (ALSO Crystalline Cataclysm is often abbreviated to CE [Crystalline Entity] or CCE/CCN)

    BNPs are BioNeural Processors, a reward from elite STFs used to buy mk XII Omega rep Gear
