Midnight Hope Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 54	Posted - 2012.12.04 17:42:00 - [1] - Quote Scout: There's a Calos at the gate... FC: A Talos? Scout: A Calos... FC: The battlecruiser? Scout: No, the new destroyer... FC: Point it... rest of the gang jump... Scout: He warped off 2 minutes ago... Really CCP? I can't believe NO ONE pointed out they sounded really similar, specially on comms with 20 different guys with 20 different accents. Since I am guessing changing the name is not going to happen now that is set in stone, I'll give you a couple of suggestions for any new ships down the line: Raven - Maven Ares - Arix Helios - Hedious

Stitcher Re-Awakened Technologies Inc 334	Posted - 2012.12.04 17:46:00 - [6] - Quote just call it a Charlie-Rax. which would make a Thorax a Tango-Rax. problem solved. phonetic alphabets exist for a reason.

ISD LackOfFaith ISD Community Communications Liaisons 64	Posted - 2012.12.04 17:47:00 - [7] - Quote What? Talos. Corax. TAH-los. Coh-RAX. That's very easily distinguishable. Ares/Eris has gotten me in the past, though. Ed: nice going, OP, changing Talos->Thorax. Still, enunciate the hard C of the Corax.

Oregin Bene Gesserit ChapterHouse Sanctuary Pact 53	Posted - 2012.12.04 17:48:00 - [10] - Quote Get better comms. Pay attention. Organise a way of differentiating on voice such as 'Corax Destroyer' and 'Thorax' or some other designation. Or moan on a forum about a minor detail in the naming of pixels in a video game.

Alice Saki 23876	Posted - 2012.12.04 17:56:00 - [15] - Quote Erm.... If your scouting you should know what to point and what not... In Eve there is not always time to Ask your FC what to do... Sometime you just have to react. All You're Misha's Belong to Me. -á Glomp with your mainGäó

Ranger 1 Ranger Corp 2796	Posted - 2012.12.04 18:01:00 - [17] - Quote Either teach your scouts to stop mumbling, or teach them to simply drag the ship in question to fleet chat. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base.

I find "primary is D E T H" (pronouncing each of the first 3-4 letters) to be a much less ambiguous way to do it, but whatever floats your boat (and sinks the enemy's).

Ottersmacker Genos Occidere HYDRA RELOADED 280	Posted - 2012.12.04 18:05:00 - [19] - Quote it's a stealth immersion buff to make you say "corax(-class) destroyer" and "thorax-(class) cruiser", much like the better and more immersive pvp corps do on comms anyway i just locked an open door.. strange, yet symbolically compelling.
Shylari Avada Amok. Goonswarm Federation 115	Posted - 2012.12.04 18:06:00 - [20] - Quote I too, require an FC to tell me what to do in the instance of a single destroyer on a gate...

Scout: F**kin Moron. I just said Destroyer! Why do we let you lead fleets? FC: We can't take a Thorax, were all in Destroyers. Get out of there. /Local/ Scout: Listen Corax Pilot... Does your corp have good FC's? Corax Pilot: We know what a Corax is if that is what you are asking. Scout: App sent. Fixed.
Duke Revolution Aliastra Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2012.12.04 18:37:00 - [22] - Quote Its lucky they introduced that thing where you can just drag the Corax into the fleet window then as you report and the FC can check the ship and pilot.

Very easy to get commands confused. Maybe the next patch could include expanded & more versatile fleet command buttons? Buttons are always localized to the user, after all. So far that's how I've been able to get around language humps in our own corp, but that has only showed us how much the system is lacking. Hop to it, CCP! EvE Forum Bingo
