I mean come on, it's a rough game, but that class name has way too many negative conotations.
And from the devblog description, the ships really sound more "intruderish" as "violatorish".
Intruder class
'nuff said.
Yeah, we got too many class names starting with "i" already, but what's one more then anyway ?
You know you want it

That would work too 
But then what you'd call them "penes" ? "peens" ?
But come on... "Intruder alert in sector EC-P8R" 
Classic !

Intruder : coming in rudely or inappropriately, entering as an improper or unwanted element.
Penetrator : piercing or entering into something, forcing or making a way in or through something.
Violator : breaking or disregarding laws, or a sexual assaulter.

Yes, I know what a violater can mean.
soooooo because a word has a sexual reference it should be changed? no.
this is taking politically correctness to a level we don't need.
violator sounds better and cooler imho.

Quote:
The long-range and high-versatility Battleship nicknamed the "Violators".
Their versatility will work for many play styles but we also wanted something which would work for PvE play styles. This doesn't mean they will work well for only mission runners, so there is no need to brand them with the misnomer of the "mission ship".
Long-range is not a reference to weapons range but the ships ability to go deep into enemy territory and stay there for extended periods.
Intruder sounds more like the devblog description of the ship
Ok, penetrator fits the bill too.
But violator... meh, what are you violating ? Their space ? Oh well. Heh.
I still think "Intruder" would sound way cooler.
Even "Penetrator" (and just because I LOVED that game on the Z80).
"Violator" sounds like the least appropriate of all these three... to me.
And "Intruder" is the only "non-ambivalent" class name.
The rest just beg for sexually-related comments... and don't tell me they won't be "all that common".
It's like shouting out asking for trouble in gang territory.

sexual references to ships will be in this game. It wont matter if you name a ship 'hello kitty furry friendly fluffy flier' or 'big raper class assmunch battle ship of penetrating white fluidness and other overstretched and generally ripped open orifices': it doesnt really matter. The thorax gets its references not from its name, but from its LOOK.
Anyhow, can we agree to disagree on this Akita? you like intruder, I prefer violator.

Of course we agree that we disagree.
And also that it's a matter of opinion.
So, I'd guess your vote is "/NOT signed"
Neeext ?

We can't have it called Intruder cuz we already have Interceptor and we can't have it trying to usurp the shorthand of inty or inties! I say we call them Therapists!

I like the old name, intruder sounds lame, and i agree, it takes the political correct thing a bit far.
It's great being Amarr isn't it.

Assuming you'd call'em "intruders" afterall.
Who the heck calls interceptors "inty" ? Too much confusion. It's 'ceptor, definetely.
Then, it's 'dictor.
And obviously, indy... is an indy
So... what would be shorthand for intruder ? 'truder ? 'ruder ?

No, you need to keep the vanguards close to the vans.

"Trudi" or "Tudchen" ;)
well, me as a non-english-person (ye, my english is bad enough that I can say that *g*) this "violator" doesn't says anythink.
WHAT THE HELL is a "violator" ?? is it a purple ship?? (violet = color at german). (or even "Vibrator"??)
simpel: "Back-OPs" or "Intruder" or "Ghost-Class"? "Recon-BS"?

See what I mean ? Save yourself the trouble, call'em "ceptors"

Err, no, the "Violators" are supposed to be the "ship that goes far away from the home base and can stay away longer as (m)any other ships", the ships that are somewhat useful both for PvP and for PvE, etc.
There's a second class that IS called "Black Ops", those are NOT the "Violators".
"Black Ops" can (?probably?) use Covops Cloaks, and can definetely spawn a mini-reverse-jumpbridge of sorts to bring in other "Black Ops" ships from another system directly to its location, etc.
You slightly confused them.

AFAIK that "violater" is only the current internal codename for them, not the final game name.
Still.. tentacle class weapons..mhhh..

My vote goes to Violator. Sounds meaner than a simple Intruder.Perhaps a Penetrator can be a more advanced version or something
