Oohboy, the name is seriously underwhelming.
Couldn't you have called it the SHRIKE, or TERCEL, or even the Peregrine?
Lookout, its muh Jackdaw... |

Yeah agreed Jackdaw doesn't sound good at all. It doesn't even go along with all the other caldari ships..
I love your idea of " SHRIKE " That sounds amazing for a new caldari ship.

Many Caldari ships are named after birds. A jackdaw is a bird. It fits fine.

I would have to agree. The Jackdaw does not sound menacing at all.
" SHRIKE " goes along with following bird names, and sounds like a vicious menacing bird...
+1 for SHRIKE! |

I know it's a bird name, it's just a stupid bird name is the point I'm making, and doesn't sound good like the other caldari ships.
" SHRIKE " sounds like a fighing ship and it also the name of a bird. |

At least Shrike would sound menacing, because the ship sure as hell doesn't look it.
In the Honor Harrington book series, the Shrike LAC was a ferocious weapon when deployed en masse, and was basically a small ship designed around a battlecruiser sized graser if im not mistaken.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Big gun with an engine and a crew, sounds Minmatar to me.
IIRC its sister ships were the Ferret and the Grayson Katana, been a while since I've visited the Honorverse.

Jackdaw sucks. Shrike is a vicious killer that impales it prey to eats and show off whats left. <--- That is cool man.

And people think the Skynet is OP.. wait until they read what a single LAC carrier could do.. or a single Pod laying SD.... and no one cares that all the ships look like gray painted hammerhead spindles, because if youre close enough to see it, you are within energy weapon range and dead anyways.

I think it was the Molle account that resembled that accusation, actually. Shrike was a Titan main, when Titans were still trained on mains.

Except "Shrike" sounds better.
"Shrike: Any of numerous usually largely gray or brownish oscine birds (family Laniidae) that have a hooked bill, feed chiefly on insects, and often impale their prey on thorns."
"Jackdraw: A common black and gray bird (Corvus monedula) of Eurasia and northern Africa that is related to but smaller than the carrion crow."

If someone gave me a pod laying super dreadnaught and a couple of LAC carriers, I'd whelp them while laying siege to Polaris, it would be glorious.

Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.
So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know? |

Don't hold back. There's nothing wrong with Jackdaw; there's also nothing wrong with some of the other suggestions, either.
