I'm shocked nobody has suggested the name Shag* tbh.

You can all back right the **** off the name of the Jackdaw. I love it, and any of you who speak ill of it will be put on a list.
I don't know what list, but lists will happen.

I kind of like the name.
Not enough to fly some butt ugly Caldari ship but the name doesn't bother me. |

I like Shag. Would have been a great verb, too.
I'm gonna try and resign myself to live with the current name, after all it wasn't the Booby |

Don't get me started on the looks of the ship. The Gallies get a cool, modern ship with flowing lines and curves. A decent design flowing from the T1 and T2 destroyers.
We get a pointy stick... er, stork. |

Some interesting traits to the Jackdaw Bird:
They are known to pick up shiny objects such as jewellery to hoard in nests.
Occasionally, a sick or injured western jackdaw is mobbed until it is killed.
The main call, frequently given in flight, is a metallic and squeaky chyak-chyak or kak-kak.[12] This is a contact or greeting call.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_jackdaw
It could definitely use some improvement in graphic and name imo.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

I don't hate the name, but it could be something better. Jackdaw doesn't even really fit with the names of other Caldari ships.
... I do hate pretty much everything about the "Svipul" though |

But its thin 'sticks'/'wings'/'antenna' whatever things left-right-up-down-all-over-the-ship messing it up badly. And again the caldari T3 is the ugliest, thank you CCP, I would not fly it.

Look, I understand Caldari are supposed to be all business like and industrial, but the Jackdaw juist looks like the Confessors anorexic twin sister after an accident with an with the tv aerial. All of the antenna sensors could have been replaced with something more substantial.
As for the name? Hell, the Kingfisher suggestion was a more sexy version than Jackdaw. |

While I prefer the look of the Hecate (and pretty much prefer all Galente ships to Caldari) it doesn't seem like it does any sort of really interesting transformation when it shifts modes. Seems like it just has a few flaps that pop up.
Could be wrong though. Will find out this summer I guess. Overall I think all 4 destroyers are fairly nice looking and I am pleased with the overall direction that the art department has been going (even though I am still not that keen on Caldari ships). |

Um.....no? Not really a thing I do.
You can send me money though. I won't turn it down

Really?!?!?
Caldari already have: Crow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvus_%28genus%29 Rook http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rook_%28bird%29 Raven http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven They're all part of the same family, "Corvus" So it DOES fit perfectly well with their current naming scheme. Most of their other names are birds as well, Ibis, cormorant, drake, blackbird, condor, i could go on...
I like it, it fits well, keep it!

If all we want is a menacing name, I vote for KILLDOZER or MR. KILL.
Putting it in caps sounds menacing. We should also put a few dozen exclamation marks behind it.
Because menacing. |
