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

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...

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.

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.

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? |

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.

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.

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. |

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. |

Some interesting traits to the Jackdaw Bird:
They are known to pick up shiny objects such as jewellery to hoard in nests.
Occasionally, a sick or injured western jackdaw is mobbed until it is killed.
The main call, frequently given in flight, is a metallic and squeaky chyak-chyak or kak-kak.[12] This is a contact or greeting call.

It could definitely use some improvement in graphic and name imo.

As for the name? Hell, the Kingfisher suggestion was a more sexy version than Jackdaw. |

While I prefer the look of the Hecate (and pretty much prefer all Galente ships to Caldari) it doesn't seem like it does any sort of really interesting transformation when it shifts modes. Seems like it just has a few flaps that pop up.
Could be wrong though. Will find out this summer I guess. Overall I think all 4 destroyers are fairly nice looking and I am pleased with the overall direction that the art department has been going (even though I am still not that keen on Caldari ships). |

Really?!?!?
Caldari already have: Crow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvus_%28genus%29 Rook http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rook_%28bird%29 Raven http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven They're all part of the same family, "Corvus" So it DOES fit perfectly well with their current naming scheme. Most of their other names are birds as well, Ibis, cormorant, drake, blackbird, condor, i could go on...
I like it, it fits well, keep it!

Shrike is already a too historically important pilot name in eve (check the amarr tournament history) , so its surely a non go name.

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? |

Jackdaw was the name of the ship in Assassin's Creed IV. I'd love nothing more than to change the name.
Besides, why would the Caldari name their ships for fluffy birds? Hardly something to strike fear into the hears of others. The Amarr, I get... all religious. But... birds? And not even birds of prey?

Hi Havnt read your comments about this and if the name is stupid or not or if its consistent since its a bird and among the smarter ones.
Have anybody googled Jackdaw?
It-¿s a ship in assasins creed lore....
Got nothing against the name BUT I MUST BE A "BRAIN FART" to name the ship the same as an assasins creed ship....
You google it and end up with that ...
Only a Point and comming from me propably a good and valid one :)
Why not go for "Millenium Falcon" that-¿s a bird to?

Been around for ages, never thought to look closely to the naming of ships, spec. Caldari ones As somebody already stated, lots of them are named after birds - rook, raven, blackbird, corax.. So, since we all like to discus all things eve related, here are my two cents on matter.
Personally I don't like Jackdaw name for a ship, even Shrike looks better although I don't like that one too it just doesn't feels Caldari-sh, or even Eve-ish for that matter, but I can understand where CCP are coming from with this, a quick look on the Wikipedia - Quote:Corvidae is a cosmopolitan family of oscine passerine birds that contains the crows, ravens, rooks, jackdaws, jays, magpies, treepies, choughs and nutcrackers.[1][2][3] In common English they are known as the crow family, or, more technically, corvids. There are over 120 species. The genus Corvus, including the jackdaws, crows and ravens, makes up over a third of the entire family. So to keep in with CCP general idea regarding some of the Caldari ships, and their desire to name another ship like a bird from Corvidae family, here's a couple of Corvus species who's names are somewhat better suited imho: Enca - Corvus enca - Slender-billed crow Kubaryi - Corvus kubaryi - Mariana crow Meeki - Corvus meeki - Bougainville crow Orru - Corvus orru - Torresian crow However, not all Caldari ships are named after birds (Scorpion, Badger, Basilisk,..) but we can safely assume that at least it has to be named after an animal, mystic (Phoenix, Rokh,..) or not (Moa).

Well, Like most Caldari ships, it will most likely be slower than other ships in its weight class, over tanked, and have a vastly excessive focus on Kinetic Missiles, so it probably shouldn't have a menacing name.

I think the name should reflect the ship a bit more.
Think about this - it's a ship with three modes. Almost a ship within a ship within a ship, right?
Therefore I humbly put forth this suggestion, that the Caldari T3 destroyer be named the "TURDUCKEN".
I, for one, would love to see "Turducken" popping up on my overview every once in a while.

does it matter what it's called? i don't think so.
what about how it looks? i like it, it's different.
if it does a good job and people fear it in the right hands,, then they can call it luckylumps for all i'd care. it could look like a flying lemon and that wouldn't make a bit of difference to anyone who'd be flying her and loving what she can do. if it got an updated skin that pleased more people, well that would be just a bonus now wouldn't it. it's good to see people happy with it but wishing it looked more to their taste. better a good working ship than a beauty that's shite.

I don't know if it's just the language barrier, but "Jackdaw" does actually sound menacing to me. Brings pointy things like "jackknife" and "jackhammer" in mind. Also I think it's got a US Navy-ish ring to it. There could easily be a USS Jackdaw...
The Me 262 was nicknamed "Swallow" (Schwalbe) and it was terrifying allright. Actually if asbolutely everything in this game had menacing and badass names like "Dragon" and "Vulture" and "Falcon" and stuff, it would end up feeling childish and unimmersive. |

They change the designs of the moa, condor, caracal, and to a lesser extent the blackbird to look like good looking birds of prey.
The jackdaw however, seems like it was designed by a totally different team, (the old team which probably designed the original moa, condor, caracal and blackbird).
If you don't want to change things too much, change the ariels/antenna into winglike features. You could then justify calling it the crane. |

Are you seriously complaining about Caldari Skins, I'm Gallente, we have everyone in space genre gaming beat to DEATH in the ugly ships department. Navitas, Imicus, Catalyst, Exequror, Celestis, Vexor, Brutix, Dominix, Moros, Erebus. and don't forget the Proteus, the ship so ugly, that it has literally 20 special unique and distinctive forms of ugly. STOP whining, on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being gouging your eyes out with a pencil so you never have to see it again) the Jackdaw is a 2. BTW, thanks CCP for giving the Gallente the best looking of the T3 Dessies, we were about due for a turn. _________________________________________________________________________

The jackdaw however, seems like it was designed by a totally different team, (the old team which probably designed the original moa, condor, caracal and blackbird).
If you don't want to change things too much, change the ariels/antenna into winglike features. You could then justify calling it the crane. Are you seriously complaining about Caldari Skins, I'm Gallente, we have everyone in space genre gaming beat to DEATH in the ugly ships department. Navitas, Imicus, Catalyst, Exequror, Celestis, Vexor, Brutix, Dominix, Moros, Erebus. and don't forget the Proteus, the ship so ugly, that it has literally 20 special unique and distinctive forms of ugly. STOP whining, on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being gouging your eyes out with a pencil so you never have to see it again) the Jackdaw is a 2. BTW, thanks CCP for giving the Gallente the best looking of the T3 Dessies, we were about due for a turn. _________________________________________________________________________ If you want to know the secret to success in this world, I'll be glad to tell you. Find that voice in your head that tells you to be compassionate and merciful, and then put two bullets in the base of its skull.
lol what? Only the navitas and imicus require a redone. Dominix has been done for years, just hasn't been uploaded. All the others are perfectly fine and what gallente organic shaped ships are suppose to look like... |

That does not alter the fact that they are UGLY, I like my horrendous Gallente ships, my Proteus in particular. I don't fly them because they are pretty, I fly them because they do their job well. It just annoys me when people start crying because their space ship isn't pretty enough. If you want a pretty ship, train Amarr. |

Jackdaw. That name just doesn't fit with the ship. The T3 isn't a smaller version of a 'Daw', most consider this bird a rodent and of course, the ship doesn't steal anything.
I like this one better: Shearwater The name just rolls off of your tongue...
Wikipedia wrote:These tubenose birds fly with stiff wings and use a "shearing" flight technique to move across wave fronts with the minimum of active flight. Some small species, like the Manx shearwater are cruciform in flight, with their long wings held directly out from their bodies.
Many are long-distance migrants, perhaps most spectacularly sooty shearwaters, which cover distances in excess of 14,000 km (8,700 mi) from their breeding colony on the Falkland Islands (52-¦S 60-¦W) to as far as 70-¦ north latitude in the North Atlantic Ocean off northern Norway. Short-tailed shearwaters perform an even longer "figure of eight" loop migration in the Pacific Ocean from Tasmania to as far north as the Arctic Ocean off northwest Alaska.
They are also extraordinarily long-lived. A Manx shearwater breeding on Copeland Island, Northern Ireland, is currently (2003/2004) the oldest known wild bird in the world: ringed as an adult (at least 5 years old) in July 1953, it was retrapped in July 2003, at least 55 years old. Manx shearwaters migrate over 10,000 km (6,200 mi) to South America in winter, using waters off southern Brazil and Argentina, so this bird has covered a minimum of 1,000,000 km (620,000 mi) on migration alone.
Cutting through the competition, as well as space and time. That's the name of a bird that will endure...

They should call it the Mockingjay and maybe CCP could get some cash from a tie-in deal with Lionsgate. |

You know... pilots have a power here they they don't comprehend. CCP can name the ship whatever they want but if we simply force the issue, agree upon a name and start calling it by the new title that we've designated it's going to be called by that new title regardless of what is stamped on the ship.
Question is...will the community agree on a new title and work together to change this horrific Germanic tongue twister?! |

We couldn't even all agree on the day of the week if we tried.
