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? God DAMN you. Came here just to post this. Hell yes. Let's confuse them with facts. It's a new strategy, I admit, but it just may work!

There's not a single one of you who has a sense of taste. Go home and die. Now, there's a display of sophistication if I ever saw one! By the way, I'm a professional artist and designer. I hold a couple of degrees in the field (including color theory...ahar) and I've got a few decades in the field. In fact, I'd bet all your stuff you've even seen some things I designed, but you probably don't have enough stuff for me to sacrifice what little internet security I have left.

"The common name jackdaw first appeared in the 16th century, and is thought to be a compound of the forename Jack, used in animal names to signify a small form (e.g. jack snipe), and the archaic native English word daw. Formerly, western jackdaws were simply called "daws". -Wiki-
Yes. Seriously. It's as good a name as any other in the game, and some numbskull with nothing better to do than to open a thread crying about it sure has generated a lot of bandwidth suckage. Before I take anyone seriously who has a problem with this name, I want to know what idiotic thing you've named your dog, or your cat - or your kid. Even then, the Great Digital God once again moans against the weight of the wasted bandwidth.

I love your idea of " SHRIKE " That sounds amazing for a new caldari ship.

yup!
+1 from me too to use the name Shrike instead of Jackdaw.
well, at least it's not called an A*s-stretch... umh... Ostrich!

It reminds me of the moment in Assassin's Creed IV when the protagonist named his ship Jackdaw, and people were all like "wtf, bro, that name sucks!" - So he said: "I don't care, lol" - and raped them wholesale.
We Russians have an aphorism of a sort: your yacht will sail the way you name it. Don't believe that crap. If your piloting sucks, you'll be blapped, and no fancy name will save you. Besides, Shrike sounds like a name more fit for a villain in a comic book. |

I'm with the caldari militia and I can't think how our enemies will take us seriously when a bounch off Jackoffs I mean Jackdaw's showing up.. I can see them Galantians laughing there ass off that is for sure.
We need something better CCP. Shrike works.. others names have some interesting feel to them.. But jackdaw sorry that is an insult to us.
I want a bird of prey that puts the fear into our enemies CCP! Change the name ok. |

As a Gallente, IMHO, it should be named Strix. Because Caldari.
Strix Strix (pl. striges or strixes), in the Ancient Roman and Greek legends was a bird of ill omen, product of metamorphosis, that fed on human flesh and blood. The name, in Greek, means "owl".[1]
Description They are birds with long golden beaks that they use to suck the blood of infants, their favorite victims...

I like the name "Jackdaw"
Western Jackdaw
The western jackdaw (Bird), also known as the Eurasian jackdaw, European jackdaw, or simply jackdaw, is a passerine bird in the crow family.
Scientific name: Corvus monedula

Jackdaw should have been a Crow variant, since it's in the crow family, and they both should have been used for Blackbird/Falcon. Because Crows are pretty smart, and ECM is kinda techy and clever. Also, Crows are annoying. They have annoying caws and I've watched them follow eagles around and scream at them. ECM is also annoying. Perfect fit. Crow/Jackdaw/Rook instead of Blackbird/Falcon/Rook.
Then Falcon should have been used for the interceptor, because the fastest bird in the world is the Peregrine Falcon. |

I agree what a terrible name. How about the 'Corvus'. At least that's scientific. Even 'Turkey' would be more graceful.

I don't know how you say it in Icelandic, but the English phonetic pronounciation seems like "Diverge-Kracka" to me...which is vaguely racist lol
