Julian Delancy	Posted - 2006.04.17 12:29:00 - [31] Edited by: Julian Delancy on 17/04/2006 12:29:30 Originally by: Theroder Merkanti I quite like the minmatar one. How exactly is that pronounced to avoid embarresment on TS >.> 'mal-strom?' or 'male-strom', 'mel-strom'? male-strom
Soul Redemption	Posted - 2006.04.17 12:40:00 - [32] continuing with minmatar tredition of falling apart ships i'd say call it the "trashcan" going on with caldari being missile whXXes call it "up your tail pipe" gallante being french "La croason" and amarr being amarr "burn-in-hell-infadels"
TheKiller8	Posted - 2006.04.17 12:54:00 - [33] Caldari: Overpowered Gallente: Paris Hilton Minmattar: Mexican Spacia Enterprisia I Amarr: Phallus Enormous .: Click 2 See My Flash Animations :.
Svetlana Scarlet	Posted - 2006.04.17 14:31:00 - [34] Well, I won't pretend that this will change what CCP is going to call them in the end, but here are some ideas. Amarr -- Well, if you want to stick with end-of-the-world imagery, you could pick Revelation (I don't think they have a ship named that already, do they?), Judgement, Doomsday, or Ragnarok (though that's not Christian theology, so I don't know if it really fits the theme). Caldari -- I haven't seen any pictures, and the Caldari don't appear to have a consistent theme for their battleships, so I'm not sure what would be a good name, other than some sort of sinister animal associated with death. So you could go with the aforementioned Viper, or something like Widow, Recluse, or Black Cat. Gallente -- The Gallente battleships don't appear to have any particular theme -- just weird, domineering sounding names. I don't really have any good ideas here, to be honest. Minmatar -- I actually liked the Maelstrom idea, but you could also take Hurricane, Tornado (bonus -- it also starts with T!), or Whirlwind. I almost suggested Cyclone, and then I remembered that that's their battlecruiser (which I have two of, so I don't know why I forgot that). -- LCDR Svetlana Scarlet Deputy Quartermaster Captain, CNS Redball Express Caldari Independent Navy Reserve
Soul Redemption	Posted - 2006.04.17 14:45:00 - [35] Revelation is the amarr dreadnought
HippoKing	Posted - 2006.04.17 15:00:00 - [36] Originally by: Svetlana Scarlet Amarr -- Well, if you want to stick with end-of-the-world imagery, you could pick Revelation (I don't think they have a ship named that already, do they?), Judgement, Doomsday, or Ragnarok (though that's not Christian theology, so I don't know if it really fits the theme). revelation is the dread, and ragnarok is the minmatar titan Win a Cerberus!! sigs of the 23/24/25 hijack just as well -eris yarrrr, i shall retake my sig -HippoKing Not a chance, our 1337 sig haXx0r sk1llz are too powerful! - Wrangler Ho-Ho-Hooooooo, Merry Saturday!11 - Immy Yo ho ho and a bottle of BReeEEEEeee.... - Jacques ARRRRRRchambault Stop spamming with "QFT" >:\|. - Teblin Who pwned who? ~kieron RAWR!11 Sig Hijack!11 - Imaran
Viktor Fyretracker	Posted - 2006.04.17 15:20:00 - [37] Caldari is definatly: Vorpal Rabbit.
Plutoinum	Posted - 2006.04.17 15:26:00 - [38] Something with 'T' for Minmatar would be nice, but please not 'Tornado'. Tornado reminds me of the european aircraft, the tactical bomber or what it is. It's rather small and if I think about flying a Tornado, I always have this RL picture of a 'little' starting Tornado in my head.
MrFu	Posted - 2006.04.17 15:27:00 - [39] minnie definitively deserves ¦¦Natural Disaster`` or ¦¦Sailquake`` I need a sig
Lo3d3R	Posted - 2006.04.17 15:34:00 - [40] Edited by: Lo3d3R on 17/04/2006 15:36:04 Originally by: Saeris Tal'Urduar Amarr: Overlord agreed, nice name, lets hope the specs and bonusses live up to it, can only hope in the light of religeous names.. it might become something like Minister[b/] or [b] Reverand (spelling?) tho...
Arkanor	Posted - 2006.04.17 15:47:00 - [41] Originally by: Kaladr Foxbat?? That's the NATO codename for a MiG-25 . Caldari ships are (usually) named after birds, thus the Tier 3 battleship might follow the same route. "Shrike" might be cool, but the name is derived from such a tiny bird, Viper would be a nice one though. ________________________________________________ Originally by: Imperial Baddour I just lost my ship, and dont feel like playing anymore!
Aion Amarra	Posted - 2006.04.17 15:57:00 - [42] Like the Overlord and Maelstrom suggestions, though something beginning with A would be nice for the third Amarr BS. Annihilation maybe? That said, I was always pretty sure Maelstrom is pronounced mah-ehl-strohm. THen again I'm German and thus my sights might be skewed on that matter. _____________________ This is not the sig you're looking for. Jedi-like hand movement
Kraven Kor	Posted - 2006.04.17 15:57:00 - [43] Amarr Tier 3 Battleship: Abbadon (this would make all 3 Amarr Battleships have apocalyptic names: Apocalypse, Armageddon, Abbadon) Caldari Tier 3 Battleship: Is there a picture of it yet anywhere? The Raven kinda looks Raven-ish, the Scorpion definitely looks Scorpion-ish. Caldari names seem to be Birds of Prey or other Predator names. So, why not just call it the "Predator?" I'd have to see a picture, but how about: Apex (ecology term referring to the top of the food chain.) Gallente don't all use "mythological creatures," and then the Caldari would have stolen the Harpy from them if so I guess. And Cerberus. The other two Gallente Battleships seem to be made up latin-sounding words that imply overwhelming power (Dominix, Megathron.) So, some possible Gallente Tier 3 BS names (or, really, just good Gallente ship names for any future ships): Impetus Conqueror Suppressor Minmater Tier 3 -- I really like Maelstrom and can't come up with anything better. Strength through Unity, Discipline, and Honor!
Cypherous	Posted - 2006.04.17 15:58:00 - [44] Originally by: Arkanor Originally by: Kaladr Foxbat?? That's the NATO codename for a MiG-25 . Caldari ships are (usually) named after birds, thus the Tier 3 battleship might follow the same route. "Shrike" might be cool, but the name is derived from such a tiny bird, Viper would be a nice one though. I think it should maybe be called the Pidgeon or maybe the Robin, Pidgeon seems fitting, its gonna be big fat ugly and move very slowly >.< O RLY?! --Jorauk Way cooler than Jorauk - Cortes
Wilfan Ret'nub	Posted - 2006.04.17 16:01:00 - [45] Edited by: Wilfan Ret''nub on 17/04/2006 16:08:52 My two bits: Amarr - Apotheosis Means "elevation to divine status". Keeps the "end of days" theme. Starts with an A like other two. Hard to pronounce, though. Minmatar - Tornado Is a weather phenomena and as noted above starts with T like the other two. Is also more destructive than a typhoon or tempest. And to Plutonium: Typhoon is also an European fighter and a WWII British ground attack plane. BTW: if Foxbat was good enough name for NATO (MiG-25 Foxbat to stick on the OMGWTFBBQ Soviet interceptor (which didn't turn out quite like they were expecting), it's good enough for Caldari.
Viktor Fyretracker	Posted - 2006.04.17 16:08:00 - [46] Caldari: Valkyrie, Spectre, Blackhawk, Falcon, Tomcat.
Jobie Thickburger	Posted - 2006.04.17 16:09:00 - [47] LOL ya know every name we come up with, CCP won't be able to use because people would say it was named because they put it here...... Lets see If I can scratch a few names off the list.... Cladari- Has "Phenoix" (sp) been taken yet? or Albatross? Gallente- "Atlas" since it flows in the Really Big sounding things catagory of Gallente Battleships Ammar- I thought Overlord was pretty good. How about "Smite"? Hmmm no that stinks, "Retrabution" (sp again) Now thats a name! Minmintar- "Duct Tape".... No, "Tundra" Mabey? not really sure of the Theme w/ Minmintar ships. W/ the force of nature, how about "Gail" (as in Gail force winds?) Well those are the names I put forth to be striken from the list being written by CCP! Can't wait to get the BPC for one though....
Arkanor	Posted - 2006.04.17 16:14:00 - [48] Originally by: Wilfan Ret'nub Edited by: Wilfan Ret''nub on 17/04/2006 16:08:52 BTW: if Foxbat was good enough name for NATO (MiG-25 Foxbat to stick on the OMGWTFBBQ Soviet interceptor (which didn't turn out quite like they were expecting), it's good enough for Caldari. You're forgetting the fact that caldari ships are nothing like the OMGWTFBBQ Soviet interceptors, those are actually fast. Unless of course the tier 3 caldari battleship is speedy ________________________________________________ Originally by: Imperial Baddour I just lost my ship, and dont feel like playing anymore!
Svetlana Scarlet	Posted - 2006.04.17 17:40:00 - [49] Originally by: HippoKing Originally by: Svetlana Scarlet Amarr -- Well, if you want to stick with end-of-the-world imagery, you could pick Revelation (I don't think they have a ship named that already, do they?), Judgement, Doomsday, or Ragnarok (though that's not Christian theology, so I don't know if it really fits the theme). revelation is the dread, and ragnarok is the minmatar titan Doh, crap. Well, I guess you know I don't have a lot of experience with capital ships then. My other two still work -- I like the Apotheosis and Abbadon suggestions as well. -- LCDR Svetlana Scarlet Deputy Quartermaster Captain, CNS Redball Express Caldari Independent Navy Reserve
SolarKnight	Posted - 2006.04.17 17:42:00 - [50] Phoenix is the caldari Dreadnaught. The Light in the Darkness Origin Systems is Recruiting http://Origin.zapto.org
schurem	Posted - 2006.04.17 18:28:00 - [51] Minmatar: Tornado (that euro bomber may be small, but its LOUD!) Gallente: Myrmidon (greek warrior, sounds cool too) Amarr: Plague (would work really well for a drone carrier) Caldari: Raptor (missile spreading terminator of the skies) <<<< No Boundaries, No Fences, Fly Free Or Die Trying >>>> Typhoon for the win. Nastier than whats faster, faster than whats nastier!
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.04.17 18:44:00 - [52] Originally by: Soul Redemption going on with caldari being missile whXXes call it "up your tail pipe" It's going to have 8 railguns, so I don't really think that works... Originally by: TheKiller8 Caldari: Overpowered Again, railguns, hence underpowered, hence NO. Originally by: Arkanor Originally by: Kaladr Foxbat?? That's the NATO codename for a MiG-25 . Yeah, not sure if the fastest jet fighter ever is a good name for the slowest EVE battleship ever... Originally by: Kraven Kor Gallente don't all use "mythological creatures," and then the Caldari would have stolen the Harpy from them if so I guess. Harpy is also the name of the largest type of eagle. It eats monkeys. Originally by: Kraven Kor And Cerberus. No excuse there. Originally by: Viktor Fyretracker Caldari: Valkyrie I like that Originally by: Viktor Fyretracker Spectre No, sounds like a Force Recon ship Originally by: Viktor Fyretracker Blackhawk Mmmm...maybe... Originally by: Viktor Fyretracker Falcon Already used for the Caldari Force Recon ship Originally by: Viktor Firetracker Tomcat Meh, if it's a reference to male cats, then I don't like it, if it's a reference to the F-14 then I still don't like it. Originally by: Jobie Thickburger Cladari- Has "Phenoix" (sp) been taken yet? Yes, it's our Dreadnaught Originally by: Jobie Thickburger or Albatross? NO! Originally by: schurem Caldari: Raptor (missile spreading terminator of the skies) (A) The Caldari battleship will have 8 railguns. (B) Raptor has been one of the Caldari interceptors for a very, very long time. Wow, that was the worst suggestion in this whole thread. I think the Caldari one should either be "Valkyrie" like Viktor said, or "Lynx". -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!
Miganto	Posted - 2006.04.17 19:00:00 - [53] guess you could have Maelstrom, but its the name of our alliance, so we'd have to be paid a % cut everytime one was sold :) i pronounce it Male strm
Vampirate	Posted - 2006.04.17 19:08:00 - [54] Originally by: Nikolai Nuvolari I think the Caldari one should either be "Valkyrie" like Viktor said, or "Lynx". Valkyrie is a drone...
TEHSUPERMAN	Posted - 2006.04.17 19:12:00 - [55] YARR
BlckJck90	Posted - 2006.04.17 19:16:00 - [56] Like the Maelstrom + Viper ideas But i'll never fly a Foxbat
SpaceDrake Taleweaver	Posted - 2006.04.17 19:17:00 - [57] Jeez people. The Caldari BS is going to be big and nasty with railguns. It'll need a bird theme. Haven't you people ever heard of a Roc? Tornado gets my vote for the Minnies BTW, it'd complete the reference to an old competitor. Apothesis would be awesome for the Amarr, and why do I have a feeling that the Gallente one will be "Victrix" or "Nike"? --- What good are actions if there's no one to tell the tale afterward?... Player of the character "Amarii Oulasangeri".
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.04.17 19:20:00 - [58] Originally by: SpaceDrake Taleweaver Jeez people. The Caldari BS is going to be big and nasty with railguns. It'll need a bird theme. Haven't you people ever heard of a Roc? Welllll...okay, I'll support that -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!
Rorix Whitecloud	Posted - 2006.04.17 19:24:00 - [59] Originally by: Jenny Spitfire I prefer Dodo for the Caldari BS. >_> agreed... ~I don't remember. That's the second thing they teach you.
Ti anna	Posted - 2006.04.17 19:26:00 - [60] I think a good name for the new Caldari BS would be a Loon, but Dodo works .
