the 9 June 2014 is approaching,
could we look into extending the character limit on ship names to accommodate the man as a mark of respect ?
just a thought. If in doubt...do...excessively. |

Read most of his work. Liked most of it, but definitely not all.
Much respect to the man though, although this isn't in the correct section of the forum.

It is strange that I can dock up and grab 'Unsuccessful at Everything's Velator', but when I go to rename it...I cant make an equally long name.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

I would really like to name a ship the Unbelievably Inappropriate Lack of Any Gravitas Whatsoever

Unsuccessful At Everything already has a perfectly appropriate name
Well Banks was successful for having ****-creep fans lick up his vomit and call it nectar, but apart from that

I'd be more interested in why you think he's worthy of such high praise.

Well I kind of stated my point in my first post in this thread. But aside from that I find that his Sci-fi books and 'Culture' novels stand up as some of the better sci-fi thats been written in a long while.

Love the culture novels. I think I've read three or four of them and I have two more at home to get through at some point. Easily the best sci-fi fiction I've read (although I am yet to read the Dune books).
If they increase the character limit on ship names I will certainly pull a few from the books in commemoration. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

You are a feisty little kitty aren't you. Tooo cute.
Fake Edit: I enjoyed the first Culture novel as a Space Opera. It did not come close to the first 3 Dune books, which are also more space opera then pure Sci-Fi....but one could say that is semantics.

My personal favorite was "Excession", the format of the ship conversations has a lot in common with forum posting and to a degree ,the chat box.
I do have to admit that the last 3 were not great, dishearteningly so in fact. If in doubt...do...excessively. |

I have this issue too. I can't figure out why ship name max length isn't [character first name max length] + [Character last name max length] + [ship type max length] + 4. I hate custom fields that don't allow a custom value to be as long as the default value.

Another vote for Banks as quality SF. Read one of the Culture novels and really got immersed. But looking back, I'm not sure if I'll read more Banks. I can handle brutal and ultra-violence, but some of his stuff seems a little on the sadistic side.... |

Backing OPs on removing the smaller, and arbitrary character limit.
Banks, on an unrelated note, was a giant in his field. A successful while being experimental, prolific, and critically acclaimed writer. He was also a vigorous, if pragmatic humanist. He is missed. |

How about you start with capitalizing and spelling his name properly? Respect starts with the basics, bro.

I liked Ian M Banks, The culture novels were quite good, didn't like his aliens though, they always seemed like humans in a rubber suit.
But as a mark of respect to him I say why not? Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction... |

I enjoy the Culture ship names immensely and there are a few that fit in the Eve char limit (Me, I'm Counting, Zero Gravitas, God Made Me Do It). I doubt CCP will be extending the limit to let you use the full name of Mistake Not... though. |

Supported. Big fan of Banks, who passed away too soon. And while I certainly can use shorter ship names like Attitude Adjuster, Bad for Business or Lapsed Pacifist already, I would much appreciate it if I could name my ship You'll Thank Me Later, Just Another Victim Of The Ambient Morality or Mistake Not My Current State Of Joshing Gentle Peevishness For The Awesome And Terrible Majesty Of The Towering Seas Of Ire That Are Themselves The Milquetoast Shallows Fringing My Vast Oceans Of Wrath.
