I would suggest that CCP changes the name of the Corax to 'Ostrich'.
The name 'corax' also means raven, and Caldari already has one of those! In addition the ostrich is a spectacular creature who's prowess in battle is matched by few other creatures; In other words, the perfect name for a destroyer. When you think 'Caldari' 2 things should pop into your head:
1. Honor 2. Bird named ships
The name ostrich fulfills both of these requirements.
As a closing note I'd like to clarify, this is not a joke, nor a troll. The ostrich has been a graceful and wise creature for many years and has earned its place in the world of internet spaceships.

Why not! The only potential downside is the name would be so good, everyone would fly it all the time. Then there wouldn't be as much verity. Besides that it's a way better name |

Cassowary would be better. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

I wanted to say that too... The Emu looks meaner and angrier and more of a dinosaur descendant. More fitting for a combat ship I think. |

What?!? You're all seriously underestimating the power of the god on earth that is the ostrich. Emu and Cassowary are sort of the ostriches re-tarded cousins, like baloney is to meat. Besides Ostrich is spectacularly more fun to say and sounds better when said with various accents. |

I can just imagine the fleet commander yelling "Ostrich is primary" or "Ostriches warp in at optimal!" |

Anyway you slice it, emu or ostrich, the name ought to be changed.... (ostrich is still better). |

We better change the Raptor then as well, as that covers loads of birds...
Or not. Because while a Corax is a type of Raven, its still a separate name and personally, I love the name.
As for Ostrich, the only image in my head is of an oversized chicken with an attitude problem. May as well call it a bloody penguin at that rate... MODULAR DRONES

The Emu is actually the more appropriate bird as it is featured, along with the kangaroo, on the Australian coat of arms. Kinda hard to get more honour than that.
(I've heard that the reason those two animals are on the coat of arms is because they never back down from a fight, but that may be due to their physical incapabability of walking backwards.) |

What about the Shrike? It comes from a Latin word meaning "butcher", and the bird itself impales its prey. I am also a human, straggling between the present world... and our future. I am a regulator, a coordinator, one who is meant to guide the way. |

I'd be content that most of the caldari ships are named following one theme.
Winmatar ships are named after cats, dogs, swords, mythological beings (humanoids, dogs, and a large lizard), weather events, or some random violence-valence words.
Hmm... that might be worth an F&I thread.
Nerfing High-sec is never the answer. It is the question. The answer is 'YES'. |

Emu and Cassowary are sort of the ostriches re-tarded cousins, like baloney is to meat. Besides Ostrich is spectacularly more fun to say and sounds better when said with various accents. See... when I think of an Ostrich I think, "big bird with black and white plumage... runs fast and sticks its head in the ground." When I think Cassowary I think, "'smaller' big bird with colorful plumage... not fast, but known to be aggressive and disembowel things that get too close." Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |
