Khan Dhu Khan Dhu Research and Cloning	Posted - 2007.09.18 08:53:00 - [1] So, since "Dreadnought" is already taken, a much better name would be "Juggernauts." At least it sounds less like a sex toy. :D Just think of the enjoyment mission runners will have when they scream out that tired two-year-old internet catchphrase while jumping into the bonus room of AE. Granted, the name "Juggernaut" would also be a good name for the dreadnought corrolary to the mothership - a "second-tier" dread with greatly-enhanced self-defense and offensive capabilities.
Tzt	Posted - 2007.09.18 08:54:00 - [2] sounds too much like buggernuts, sorry :(
Kazuma Saruwatari	Posted - 2007.09.18 09:12:00 - [3] seriously, with the description they gave about the long-term BS nature they gave to the Violators, I doubt you can think up a name that wouldnt sound questionable - Odd Pod Out, a blog of EVE Online
Yadee	Posted - 2007.09.18 09:25:00 - [4] What are you talking about ? A new bigger-than-BS ship type for empire space ?
Ishina Fel Caldari Synergy. Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2007.09.18 09:29:00 - [5] Considering they are meant to last longer without stops to reload... they should maybe be named Duracells
Khan Dhu Khan Dhu Research and Cloning	Posted - 2007.09.18 09:32:00 - [6] Edited by: Khan Dhu on 18/09/2007 09:33:36 I was under the impression two new types of BS were coming - I thought the Violators were the mission-runners and "Infiltrators" were the "recon" battleships.
Ishina Fel Caldari Synergy. Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2007.09.18 09:37:00 - [7] Mission-runner BS was a misnomer. Oveur said they were making a battleship class able to get by on its own in deep space for a significantly longer time than other ships do. Also, they are supposed to be more multipurpose than other battleships, ideally to the point where it would be impossible to predict what they have fitted. Or so he says.
Aramendel Amarr Coreli Corporation Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.09.18 09:49:00 - [8] They just haven't released the new "tentacle" weaponsystem, then it will all make sense.

Granted, the name "Juggernaut" would also be a good name for the dreadnought corrolary to the mothership - a "second-tier" dread with greatly-enhanced self-defense and offensive capabilities. The "Juggernaught" term is already potentially taken by a class of fleet battle capital ships: sort of Dreads with more guns and without a siege mod. At least someone form CCP said they liked the idea, and might some day create those ships. What bother me about the "Violator" name is that, in french, Viol = rape. Another name might be preferable by far... ------------------------------------------ What is Oomph? It the sound Amarr players makes when they get kicked in the ribs.

Mephistophilis hirr Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.09.18 10:04:00 - [12] Well imo Violator does sound like a sex toy... not one i'd buy personally but i imagine many would I guess we'll have to see what the gallente one looks like, maybe it's an oversized version of the thorax, then i guess it all falls into place with the name!

Another name might be preferable by far... Same in spanish, "violar" = "to rape" and a "violador" (very close to violator) is a person who commit this sexual assault. ________________________________________
Deschenus Maximus Amarr Digital Fury Corporation Digital Renegades	Posted - 2007.09.18 11:52:00 - [15] Yeah, Violator is really not a great name. "Patrolers" would be more in keeping with the long operating range-nature of the ship.

Nian Banks Minmatar Berserkers of Aesir	Posted - 2007.09.18 14:38:00 - [21] I like the idea of callling it the Violator. By and chance, can the minmatar version be called "Laputa"? :)
Lin Dei Gallente University of Caille	Posted - 2007.09.18 14:42:00 - [22] I think this is the case of the Icelandic dev team using a bad internet translator. . I also don't like the name, in many latin-based languages it is too close to "rape". ------------------ If you see me post it's because either: 1) Silly forums made me do it 2) Because I was too lazy to change characters 3) Because I wanted to 4) <insert mod comment here>

Still, after Violator, yours is the suggestion I like the most.

The game is icelandic, translated into multiple languages, and you're a moron. Last time I checked, the ship names were rather definately NOT english either. This game is an English game made by an Icelandish manufacture with LIMITED support for other languages. The ship names are English. Most gallente ships for example are English names for greek gods. Minmatar are english names for natural phenomena and predators. Caldari ships are english names for Birds. Weapons and module names are all English. The fact that your interface can be configured not to be in English due to your lazyness to use the language that, want you or not, is the common language of the world is your problem.

Yeah, get out of the damn thread. The name has offensive connotations in multiple romanic languages. It has offensive connotations in English. The archaic uses are non-rape-related, but that's what they are. Archaic. It's also unfitting for the ship class as a whole, and would be far more suited to a BS HAC-style ship, regardless of which usage of the word you subscribe too as primary. I'd be happy for a name change, not because of the negative connotations (this is EVE, murder, blackmail and theft are all order of the day), but because it's an unfitting name from what we've been told as of yet. Of course, if it turns out to be a HABS then sure, keep the name violator for the sake of irony. Now please, stop your ridiculous derail about how anyone speaking any other language than English is lazy, because you're a goddamn idiot.

Gotta love the tentacle, now out of curiosity is it Ewar or straight out dps? Lol. Anyway seriously guys, with the amount of languages in the world, its not exactly easy to come up with mean sounding named for a battleship in a scifi war, without touching on some languages naughty words. So get naffed and learn to tolerate. NOTE: I'm australian, so don't get me started about WW2 and the French.*

The utter proof of idiocy here is given by someone that misquotes, my friend. But I concur that properly quoting is a bit difficult to some people... Yes, if something is written or designed in a given language and you have the choice of reading it in that language and you don't you are lazy and stupid, sorry. Many things are lost or lose their mining on translations. If for the sake of comodity you decide to cope with, you are indeed lazy. And there is no such a thing as a name with offensive connotations. Offensive connotations may be inferred from any word. That is the biggest failure of this politically correct bull**** that infects our world like a rotting disease. Bottomline: the name is perfect, your sensibilities are the problems.

Ruciza	Posted - 2007.09.18 22:03:00 - [60] From November on all ships will require fuel. The violators just need less, that is why they can stay longer in hostile space. Makes no sense otherwise. Really.
Tkar vonBiggendorf Gallente Snake Eyes Inc deadspace society	Posted - 2007.09.18 22:09:00 - [61] I'm just waiting for the petition to come out, and CCP to follow their own EULA and nerf the class to: Minmatar Battleship Type 23987423 Gallente Battleship Type 92837492 Caldari Battleship Type 37982349 Amarr Battleship Type 49879823
Lisento Slaven Amarr Vendetta Underground Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.09.19 00:04:00 - [62] Call it Illegal Immigrant. You know...since the ship is supposed to violate borders...I mean trespass of course...and stay there for extended periods of time until they get kicked out. --- Put in space whales!

Rodran Crag Amarr Merch Industrial	Posted - 2007.09.19 06:46:00 - [64] Violator's perfect. Prowling the dark recesses of space when all are sleeping, looking for a lone victim unaware of the imminent horror so he and his mates can get to work... the violator, coming to a dark belt near you while you are flying back home drunk in Rev 3!

Makes no sense otherwise. Really. Larger cargo bay let's you carry more ammo, spare drones, stuff. That could be enough to market it as "stay longer in hostile space" I guess. Meh. Or maybe a ship that could refit in space? Nah, that'd be too big of a change. Still less then all ships needing fuel though.

Just to let things clear. What does that have to do with anything? Who said that this game was a english one? And frankly, CCP had this coming since they inserted a french race and not a english one into the game. But yea, I couldnt care less about the name of the class since its not sexist in any way. Allthough I do like 'Flagship' better. The game is in English. The site is in English. The Ship names are in English. The fact that there is a French descendency in one of the game races (as there are oriental descendances in all races) is completely irrelevant here, as what the stem is used for in French is as well. Violators perfectly describe the ships' job. If you have any traumas about the word it is not my problem, neither it is CCP's. Just becouse the game is written in english doesnt mean that you can rule out every other language, since not every player in EVE is either from England or America. The reason some people dislike the name is becouse they relate it to a word that doesnt fit in to the game. I wonder how many would rant if one of the shipclasses was named Sl·t, since that word means "The end" in swedish. And if you read my post again, you will notice that I said that I dont give a sh1t about the name, sexist or not.

You could repair structure by shortly fitting a hull repper. And you can adapt to other's fittings and tactics without the need to go home. Maybe it also borrows the carrier's ability to let others refit in its vicinity.
