So you're unhappy about something so you have to want to ruin it for other people?

I've noticed this ability is abused on a regular basis by a staggeringly huge number of players.

Some of the vilest, sexually deviant, racist messages lurk in ship hangars everywhere.

Furthermore, I am required to look at them everytime I 'Show Info' on a ship or hit the D-Scan button.

This applies to POS modules as well - and its vitally important CCP act on this before POSes spread to nearly EVERY system in EVE.

I get tired D-scanning systems and finding POS mods named 'Dead N***** Storage' for instance. (Yes, Pulp Fiction reference, but highly inappropriate in any game for 12 year-olds.)

While I suppose it could be dealt with via the petition system, I don't think CCP will take action because they are uninterested in removing racists and/or sexual deviants from the EVE Community. They pay subscriptions after all, and aren't doing something dangerous and subversive like doubling your ISK and encouraging a singalong on Teamspeak.

No. The cleanest and fairest method is to completely remove the ability to rename structures and ships in the first place. I hope to see this in the next large expansion.

Wow, the OP got a lot of people to take them seriously.

Eve is not a game for 12 year olds...

If it offends you speak to a GM via the petition system, I like being able to name my ships, and whilst I do not and will never tolerate racism if you go down this route successive changes will result in hello kitty in space as sooner or later everyone will have complained about everything forcing game design changes resulting in a sanitised mmo lacking character and flavour.

I suppose you WANT CCP's annual Fanfest event to continue to look like an Aryan Nations reunion year in and year out.
I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that.

I'm in the mood for this...

I know it's a trollthread,
but I post this for all the smart people out there who like me
understand this really simple and perfectly working technique how to deal with life.


People who take offense can only blame themselves,
because it is them *taking* it.


Don't take it... problem solved.

Don't take it... problem solved.

A good friend once said

"Its only gay if you take it"

and by friend I mean cellmate

inadequacies have to exist within themselves for their ability to project them onto others.

Irony, meet Devine.
Devine, say Hi to Irony.

You two should have a talk.



And that's all I will say to you today. :)


Oh, my cup's empty. pfffff.

In Internet slang, a troll (/-êtro-èl/, /-êtr+Æl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

BTW Fanfest sucks ****

However.....
I'm merely pointing out that the player-base of EVE is about as white as your average Star Trek convention. Sure, plenty of Asian gamers, but we all know that they don't really count as disadvantaged minorities. At least, not in the state of California they don't.

Interesting angle to go with

Complain about institutionalised racism and then make a racially insensitive statement.

Sure, plenty of Asian gamers, but we all know that they don't really count as disadvantaged minorities. At least, not in the state of California they don't.

While I sympathize with your position, its already been shown that a significant portion of the EVE Community is not capable of responsibly handling this degree of customization. Ship name customization should not be allowed to remain - if it is being abused as an outlet for ruining others' game experience. Especially for blacks and other disadvantaged minorities.

Look, Its not like I'm not calling for a witch hunt, just for CCP to remove tools which lend themselves to this kind of corrosive behavior. Its a lot easier and neater than expecting GMs to handle it on an endless case by case basis.

This isn't Burger King. Its not 'have it your way'. Customization should only be exist in a form that insures that abuse is absolutely impossible.
