Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.02 04:04:00 - [1] Do you pronounce it as an acronym, "hack", or not, "H-A-C"? And furthermore, does ANYBODY ever refer to them as HAS or Heavy Assault Ships? Same thing with AFs, does anybody refer to them as AS or Assault Frigates? ----------------------------------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw

Cmdr Sy	Posted - 2006.01.02 04:21:00 - [8] It's HAC pronounced Hack, and AF spoken as an abbreviation, A-F. Simplifications exist for BS and BC, though sadly Cruiser and Destroyer don't roll off the keyboard.

Nyphur	Posted - 2006.01.02 04:54:00 - [12] Acronyms do not have a compound pronunciation. They are not words and are pronounced as individual letters.

Wrayeth	Posted - 2006.01.02 05:00:00 - [14] Originally by: Nyphur Acronyms do not have a compound pronunciation. They are not words and are pronounced as individual letters. Ever heard of a little organization called N.A.S.A.? It's pronounced "nassa", though it's an acronym for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The general rule of thumb is that if the acronym makes a pronouncable word, then that's how it's spoken. If the acronym does not make a prounouncable word, such as F.B.I., the individual letters are prounounced. -Wrayeth Go away.

Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.02 05:07:00 - [17] Originally by: Nyphur But in my defence, hack sounds stupid :p. On THAT point, I agree with you.

Convenient, maybe so, but stupid sounding, yes. So much cooler to say H-A-C. I can imagine an evil overlord saying "SEND IN THE H-A-C!" but "SEND IN TEH HACK" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.02 05:10:00 - [20] Originally by: Justus Imperius PDU - Pedu ( Ped-ooooooo ) Nah, that one's got to be an initialism. P-D-U. But seriously, how did we all start calling them PDU's? They're actually Power Diagnostic System, so why not PDS? I mean Heavy Assault Ship is stupid compared to Heavy Assault Cruiser, but Power Diagnostic System isn't any better or worse than Power Diagnostic Unit. Did it used to be Unit instead of System, and I've just forgotten when they changed it? Or was it always this way? ----------------------------------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw

Did it used to be Unit instead of System, and I've just forgotten when they changed it? Or was it always this way? I think it's just because we got used to saying RCU for the reactor controllers and then PDS started to be used more and we said PDU out of habit.
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.01.02 05:12:00 - [22] Originally by: Nyphur So much cooler to say H-A-C. I can imagine an evil overlord saying "SEND IN THE H-A-C!" but "SEND IN TEH HACK" doesn't quite have the same ring to it. H-A-C sounds better, but I find myself saying Assault Cruiser more than anything else. It sounds cooler than either one of those. "Heavy" is a bit redundant because it's extra syllables that don't mean anything if you're saying the whole words, because there's no Assault Cruiser that aren't Heavy. So for me, either H-A-C or Assault Cruiser. ----------------------------------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw
Nyphur	Posted - 2006.01.02 05:16:00 - [23] Originally by: Nikolai Nuvolari So for me, either H-A-C or Assault Cruiser. I use a deimos so usually I said either Deimos or if it's not a deimos I say HAC. Though I've become familiar with the Zealot and Sac. Also I say cerb or cerberus for that one because it really is important to distinguish between the cerb and other HACs. You're dealing with a different animal there.
j0sephine	Posted - 2006.01.02 05:29:00 - [24] "But seriously, how did we all start calling them PDU's? They're actually Power Diagnostic System, so why not PDS?" They've used to be named Power Diagnostic Unit, iirc. (that mentioned, it takes exactly as long to say "power diag" as it takes to say "p-d-u", and the former is likely to cause far less confusion... ;s

You're kidding, right? What could be cooler than tooling around in a hax fleet? "Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall"
Amasera	Posted - 2006.01.02 06:13:00 - [26] Originally by: Sentani Hack gall-en-te cal-dari we need a fonetic list of all the annoying little word that allways start threads... Well for those you could just watch the Introduction movie. since thats made by CCP it would be the correct pronouciationsof the races(sp?)

Kuolematon	Posted - 2006.01.02 06:58:00 - [28] I tried to force people to understand that its PDS but I gave up after seeing that people are so fsking stupid And HAC is better than HAS in someway.

ManOfHonor	Posted - 2006.01.02 07:16:00 - [31] Edited by: ManOfHonor on 02/01/2006 07:17:21 Basically its any way you want.. I have heard someone call my Muninn a 'Mewnin' (WTF?!).. And some guys I know say 'yump' instead of 'jump' (not sure if they do it on purpose or not...) one person even told me I was a 'complete bastit' instead of 'lord of the universe' (a most perplexing pronunciation...) I have never heard anyone spell out H-A-C, but I am others would know whaat you are talking about.. (I have heard them called assault cruisers, heavy assault cruisers, HACs(Hacks), and heavy assault ships)... One fellow even typed it out 'h4x' A couple months ago alot of people insisted that it was HAS, not HAC.... But they got steamrolled by the vast majority of people whom appreciated how much easier it was to say Hack instead of H-A-S, or risk the confusion of HAS with has... I also believe devs may have called them HACs, and that influenced many players... edit Koulematon- Kwho-uhl-eh-maton ?? _____________________________ NPC Asteroid Belt Bases Honor Above Self Glory For Self Strength Of Self

I have heard someone call my Muninn a 'Mewnin' (WTF?!).. It obviously IS pronounced 'Myoo-ninn', as this would imply that its partner, the Huginn (as in both of the Norse God Odin's Ravens), is 'Hyoo-ghinn'. Together, they sound very mythical and cool. If you try to call it 'Mhunn-inn', this gives you 'Hugg-inn', or, basically, Mining and Hugging. Clearly, a carebear pronunciation. ---:::---
Rakhan kane	Posted - 2006.01.02 11:16:00 - [44] Coming from a long history of wargames, I always find This list somewhat useful. Battleship = BB, but in this game, BB = Blackbird and battleship = BS Cruiser = CA or CL, depending. Maybe call normal cruisers CL and HACs CA. Destroyer = DD Frigate = FF Etc. Of course, as seen in the list, there are a myriad variants of each (it was so much easier in the good ole days), but that just makes life easier: Choose the designation that most resembles your current setup, and presto, friends won't have to ask what setup you have, they'll just look at your ship's name and go "ahh, a DDG, so you're in a missile-heavy configuration." :) And as to people wondering how to pronounce something phonetically: Grab the nearest dictionary, and check out the first entry for each letter: There's usually an explanation how to phonetically pronounce said letter. At least all the English dictionaries I've run into have had it.
Grimwalius d'Antan	Posted - 2006.01.02 11:22:00 - [45] Originally by: ManOfHonor And some guys I know say 'yump' instead of 'jump' (not sure if they do it on purpose or not...) Sounds like Swedes to me. We don't have the same "J" sound as in English. While the english J is said with the toungue fixed upon the roof of the mouth initially and then slid down while breathing out, the Swedish J (and other scandinavian countries) is simply just the breathing part without the stiff toungue against the roof.

Could be any germanic language bar English. Undoubtedly has something to do with English being the only Germanic language heavily influenced by French.

Prior to playing EVE I had different associations for the abbreviations HAC, BS and POS... I remember getting quite angry during my first days online as a n00b when I made a comment and someone from the startercorp I was in said 'hey that's a BS!'... I thought he was referring to my comments and got a bit ****ed... He was actually referring to the first BS either of us had ever seen which was undocking from the station.... Rimhawk IX Technologies

Mishima	Posted - 2006.01.03 08:20:00 - [64] it's: DAY-MOS or Dei-mos. very irritating when people dont know how to pronounce stuff(or is it me?) like people say: KestrAl, Carcal, Try-stan(like tri-pod) and those silly DJs shoutcasting the alliance-pvp-finals saying deemos or sum. I love x-mas :D

Mortus Harbinger	Posted - 2006.01.03 11:44:00 - [76] Originally by: Nyphur Originally by: Nikolai Nuvolari So for me, either H-A-C or Assault Cruiser. I use a deimos so usually I said either Deimos or if it's not a deimos I say HAC. Though I've become familiar with the Zealot and Sac. Also I say cerb or cerberus for that one because it really is important to distinguish between the cerb and other HACs. You're dealing with a different animal there. Is that dee-moss or day-moss?

Calistoph	Posted - 2006.01.03 12:09:00 - [79] Edited by: Calistoph on 03/01/2006 12:10:09 Quote: Deimos ('daimos/ or /'di:mos/; Greek Δείμος: "Dread"), is the smaller and outermost of MarsÆ two moons, named after Deimos from Greek Mythology. In Greek mythology, Deimos ("dread") was the personification of dread. He was the son of Ares and Aphrodite. He, his brother Phobos, and the goddess Enyo accompanied Ares into battle. Gotta love Wikipedia... Edit: seems eve's forum couldn't display a few characters.
