ShadowGod56	Posted - 2009.09.28 06:18:00 - [31] Originally by: Professor Tarantula Edited by: Professor Tarantula on 26/09/2009 22:32:02 Sleipnir was a specific horse though, from all that wacky Norse mythology. He had 8 legs, so we can safely say they aren't talking about the horses we know. Edit: It would be like saying the Loki and whatnot are named after humans, because they have that form. it actually happens to be Loki in the Norse myths is a major catalyst in the story with Sleipnir.
Doddy The Executives IT Alliance	Posted - 2009.09.28 06:59:00 - [32] Originally by: Professor Tarantula Originally by: Esiel Minmatar = carnivorous animals Minmatar seem to have a fixation on Cats specifically, all the animal names are felines except for the Wolf. Hound?
Doddy The Executives IT Alliance	Posted - 2009.09.28 07:27:00 - [33] Edited by: Doddy on 28/09/2009 07:36:21 Originally by: Esiel Actually they have several canine names - hound, wolf, and hyena I guess I could narrow it down to canine and feline names. The hyena is not a canine/dog. Its got its own family (hyaenidae) is not related to canids at all.
Aaronm100 Perkone	Posted - 2009.09.28 08:38:00 - [34] Originally by: Amitious Turkey Nyx and Erebus were brother and sister too, were't they? Yeh they were, they also got married. Nyx was also the mother of moros and thanatos. Also Oneiroi, who i think we can say is where Oneiros comes from.
Sahriah BloodStone Caldari No.Mercy	Posted - 2009.09.28 09:54:00 - [35] Ferox - take your pick, a lot of these seem to be related to animals and nature, also referring to these things as being deadly and fierce # Aconitum ferox, a flowering plant of the Ranunculaceae family # Alepisaurus ferox, a predatory fish of the Alepisauridae family # Apalone ferox, a soft-shell turtle of the Trionychidae family # Bathysaurus ferox, a lizardfish of the Synodontidae family # Cryptoprocta ferox, a carnivore of the Eupleridae family # Euryale ferox, a flowering plant of the Nymphaeaceae family # Megalictis ferox, an extinct carnivorous mustelid # Pseudopanax ferox, a small tree endemic to New Zealand (also known as the toothed lancewood) # Odontaspis ferox, a sand shark of the Odontaspididae family # Salmo ferox, a species of brown trout # Urtica ferox, a poisonous tree of New Zealand ---------------------- Sahriah Bloodstone Burning Avarice

Jaedar Metron Celestial Warp Ghost Guardians Eych Four Eks Zero Ahr	Posted - 2009.09.29 23:46:00 - [38] Edited by: Jaedar Metron on 29/09/2009 23:48:36 The Caldari lineup is riddled with inconsistencies. The Ferox is actually one of the lesser oddities. A Ferox is some sort of cat, it's easy to figure out if you google some. It shares the trait of being a real-world animal with the Badger. And the Raptor. Though that is extinct. Next, we have a few real world insects, like the Widow and the Scorpion, the widow most probably referring to Black Widows, a spider (technically, a spider is a spider, but meh). Then we have a slew of mythological creatures: Kitsune, Manticore, Cerberus, Basilisk, Chimera, Leviathan and Golem. The Golem is a magical machine though... Then we have the birds. A whole ****load of them, some mythological (Wyvern, Phoenix, Tengu and Rokh(Roc)). Still, there are too many animals and other stuff to saying Caldari is all about the birds... There are two oddities though. The Charon... and the wtf Onyx. The Charon belongs in the gallente lineup, whilst the Onyx is just horribly misplaced. Why did you think the Ferox had a strange name and not the Onyx? O.o Also, <3 Norse Mythology, though Loki is a bastard
Bestofworst Gallente	Posted - 2009.09.29 23:49:00 - [39] Enyo = Enyo Face Vexor = Brick of Drones Myrmidon = Tower of Drones Dominix = Tub of Drones Any random ship I fly = Falcon's main. ---- My Music Anything I say is only what I think. If you have a problem with me, take it up with me.
Ashina Sito Gallente Center for Advanced Studies	Posted - 2009.09.30 00:19:00 - [40] Originally by: Jaedar Metron The Golem is a magical machine though... The Golem is not a machine, it is an animated creature made from some material. Mud, Clay, Iron or anything really. Comes from The Hebrew tradition too, even more of a Caldari oddball.

Blane Xero Amarr The Firestorm Cartel	Posted - 2009.09.30 01:21:00 - [41] Originally by: Bestofworst Enyo = Enyo Face Vexor = Brick of Drones Myrmidon = Tower of Drones Dominix = Tub of Drones Any random ship I fly = Falcon's main.

Why did you think the Ferox had a strange name and not the Onyx? O.o Also, <3 Norse Mythology, though Loki is a bastard OK if you want to be picky there are 2 arachnids (scorpion is one) 2 Hebrew based mythical creatures, 5 greek mythical creatures that don't fly and 1 japanese mythical character that doesn't fly 1 badger 1 oynx and a ferrox (as for it being a cat, please explain because I have looked long and hard and there is nothing that suggest cat with that word) compared to 32 birds and mythical bird type creatures. I would love for CCP to explain or change the names to be more mythodical. (PS raptor is a name for birds too. read the guid it explains) thats 13 to 32 to me that is all about the birds. _________ Amarr also has some very odd names with bearly any connection to religion - coercer, punisher, impairor, and prorator(sounds more like someone that works in realestate). Gallente is the most straight forward but I would have them change some of the latin and greek words to gods, I mean it isn't like there is a shortage of them and you needed to use odd words to fill up the list. ...

Professor Tarantula Hedion University	Posted - 2009.09.30 03:35:00 - [43] Yeah, i just took a good look and Minmatar do have a canine equivalent for most feline names. Talk about selective memory. I like cats, so they always stood out more to me.
Ligoh	Posted - 2009.09.30 03:48:00 - [44] Originally by: Jaedar Metron Edited by: Jaedar Metron on 29/09/2009 23:48:36 And the Raptor. Though that is extinct. Raptor is also a word for a bird of prey, especially those that hunt during the day. This fits more with the Caldari theme than dinosaurs. If it was supposed to be velociraptors I feel like it would fall closer to the Minmatar camp Phobos and Deimos have already been spotted earlier in the thread, but a little more info: their names mean Fear and Dread, respectively, and they make a few appearances in some of the more well known Greek literature, like the Illiad. The moons of Mars are also named after them, since I believe he (Mars, god of war) was their father. I have enjoyed reading this thread, lots of good info.
Jaedar Metron Celestial Warp Ghost Guardians Eych Four Eks Zero Ahr	Posted - 2009.09.30 06:22:00 - [45] Edited by: Jaedar Metron on 30/09/2009 06:22:20 Originally by: Esiel Edited by: Esiel on 30/09/2009 01:38:10 OK if you want to be picky there are 2 arachnids (scorpion is one) 2 Hebrew based mythical creatures, 5 greek mythical creatures that don't fly and 1 japanese mythical character that doesn't fly 1 badger 1 oynx 1 cat (caracal) and a ferrox (as for it being a cat, please explain because I have looked long and hard and there is nothing that suggest cat with that word) compared to 31 birds and mythical bird type creatures. I would love for CCP to explain or change the names to be more mythodical. (PS raptor is a name for birds too. read the guide it explains) thats 14 to 31 to me that is all about the birds. _________ All right, so I had some bad eggs in my post. I still think Caldari Lineup is all about birds with a sprinkling of creatures in it, that still makes the Charon and the Onyx the only real oddballs. 14 0f 45 ships is still almost third or so you know Also, about the Ferox, I guess it's kind of guesswork on my side, so wasn't really that easy to google for anyways. I believe it's referring to the Fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox), a cat/hyena thingie from Madagascar.
BiggestT Caldari Amarrian Retribution	Posted - 2009.09.30 08:47:00 - [46] Dunno if this was said, but Caldari is not only birds and other animals, it is also mythological beasts e.g. Chimera, Kitsune, Tengu etc. EVE Trivia EVE History

What about the Rokh? heh, spanner in the works ftw (could only find something about an Iran ruler lol, perhaps my researching skills fail..) Oh and aren't Thanatos and Charon the offspring of Nyx and Erebus? EVE Trivia EVE History
JinChilla Minmatar	Posted - 2009.09.30 11:37:00 - [48] Typhon (ancient Greek: Τυφῶν, Tuphōn) is the final son of Gaia, fathered by Tartarus, and is the most deadly monster of Greek mythology. So if u just ad an "o" to the shipname and call that creativity or "ethnoligical developement" etc. , it is not refered to weather. I also remeber a different relation to the name Loki, i dont know from witch mythology but i think he was a twin of someone ;). greetings ==Sig== [2009.01.26 13:26:00]Kashimir: Very rational way to deal with this... [2009.01.26 13:48:00]CCP Claw: Don't say that out loud, people might think that we know what we're doing!
Jaedar Metron Celestial Warp Ghost Guardians Eych Four Eks Zero Ahr	Posted - 2009.09.30 15:31:00 - [49] It's more likely that Typhoon is supposed to be about the storm thingy... Hurricane, Cyclone, Typhoon, Tempest and Maelstrom are all named after extreme weather/cataclysmic events.
JordanParey Minmatar Suddenly Ninjas	Posted - 2009.09.30 15:41:00 - [50] Edited by: JordanParey on 30/09/2009 15:43:28 Originally by: Sahriah BloodStone # Salmo ferox, a species of brown trout rather unintimidating imo "brown trout: An enormous strand of ***** left in most if not all restrooms across North America that wasn't flushed.The brown trout may be found in all of your friendly local truckstops,fast food spots,place of employment,or even in the conveinence of your own home.In your adventure in searchimg for the brown trout, you may run across its ugly as sin cousin the Yellow eyed Brown Trout<turd with corn inside> dont be alarmed, it's harmless.:" From Urban Dictionary.

Kravick Drasani	Posted - 2009.09.30 18:40:00 - [54] Originally by: Esiel Actually they have several canine names - hound, wolf, and hyena I guess I could narrow it down to canine and feline names. Not to rain on your parade but the hyena isn't a canine. Its its own species (hyaenidae) thats, believe it or not, distantly related to cats (same suborder). Though I can easily see how people make that distinction. It does look like a canine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyena http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feliformia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Feliform-Timeline_v01-1.png - Originally by: Rilwar If you want to nag on warp speed, how about the question of "Why does my Crow manage to go 9.5AU/s for 2 seconds during a 9AU jump?"

Esiel Renegade Serenity	Posted - 2009.09.30 19:29:00 - [56] OK I will make a change in the definition at my website of heyna to indicate it is not actually a dog. On a side note I got to thinking about the names that I wish would be changed to better fit the conventions. (I doubt it will happen but I can do the list anyways.) I would love to see if you like or have any other suggestions. old name - new name : new name meaning Amarr ships impel - herald : a bringer of tidings prorator - pastor : a preacher of religion sentinel - prophet : someone that has had contact with the devine coercer - covenant : a promise often religious in nature bestower - evangelist : a person that spreads the good word impairor - abyss : another name for hell Caldari ships ferox - Furie : (furies in rorman myth) three sisters who were the goddesses of revenge Cerberus - Sphinx : a unique demon of destruction and bad luck represented as a winged lion with a woman's head onyx - Suzaku : or called the Vermilion bird in the Taoist five-elemental system, it represents the fire-element, the direction south, and the season summer Charon - Albatross : large seabirds .There was a belief that albatrosses, hovered endlessly above the ships at sea, contained the souls of lost sailors. Many sailors believed that disaster would haunt anyone who harmed or killed the bird. Rhea - Pterodactyl : dinosaur capable of flight Gallente obelisk - Atlas : Titan doomed to hold up the heavens with bare hands and bear their weight on his shoulders forever occator - Tyche : Greek goddess of fortune viator - Hermes : Greek god of trade Minmatar hoarder - Gomph: The Gomphotheres are a diverse group of extinct elephant-like animals that had four tusks wreathe - Platybelo: Platybelodon ("flat-tusk") was a genus of large herbivorous mammal related to the elephant with shovel like tusk. prowler - Loxodonta: Species of elephant found it africa vagabond - Mjollnir: Thor's hammer Nomad - Freyr: was a Norse god of weather and fertility. The dwarves built Freyr a ship, Skidbladnir(good second choice for name of Jump freighter), that could hold all the gods or fit in his pocket. ... Beat the dead horse

Caldari ships ferox - Furie : (furies in rorman myth) three sisters who were the goddesses of revenge Cerberus - Sphinx : a unique demon of destruction and bad luck represented as a winged lion with a woman's head onyx - Suzaku : or called the Vermilion bird in the Taoist five-elemental system, it represents the fire-element, the direction south, and the season summer Charon - Albatross : large seabirds .There was a belief that albatrosses, hovered endlessly above the ships at sea, contained the souls of lost sailors. Many sailors believed that disaster would haunt anyone who harmed or killed the bird. Rhea - Pterodactyl : dinosaur capable of flight Ferox - No opinion. Cerberus - Why? I think most people agree that the Guardian dog of Hell is a lot cooler than the Sphinx. Onyx - I like the Onyx' name, but yeah, Suzaku would fit it better. That being said, the name itself doesn't fit into the game very much (Isn't it spelled sutsaku?) Charon - Albatross seems like a fitting name actually. Probably the only one of your suggestions I wholeheartedly agree with. Rhea - No. It's annoying to write and pronounce (The amount of misspellings would trump the Kestrals and Scorpians for ever and ever.) Besides, Rhea just sounds better, more stylish.

Impel, Coerce - what zealots do to infidels and slaves Prorate - a type of mercy Bestow - the grace of God Sentinel - God is watching, or watching for God's return Quote: vagabond - Mjollnir: Thor's hammer Already the name of the EM Torpedoes. I think the names of EM and Explosive Torpedoes were mistakenly swapped, however. Bane is clearly an Amarrian name, and Mjollnir a Minmatar one. *-- He said "The President is near."*
