Tarminic Forsaken Resistance The Last Stand	Posted - 2007.12.03 19:39:00 - [1] Edited by: Tarminic on 03/12/2007 19:48:00 Personally, I'm going to love flying them since I have a hard-on for Electronic Warfare, but come on! "Electronic Attack Ships!" Originally by: Local Pirate > Yarr, yer booty an yer dignity be mine! Me > Oh yeah? Well don't be so sure, lemme whip out ma ELECTRONIC ATTACK SHIP! Pirate > That ship sounds a wee bit like a sissy ship, ya ore lubbin' carebear! Why doncha come out with somethin' MANLY SOUNDIN! Me > Hulk? Come on CCP, It's very rare that I complain about stuff on the forums, but there has to be something better to name this class of awesomeness other than "Electronic Attack Ships!"

But personaly calling them "Prowler" would be better, think about it Pirate> ****, I killed the hulk and his corp whipped out a Raven gank squad and there's Prowlers all over the place - HEWLP!

Surfin's PlunderBunny Minmatar mUfFiN fAcToRy	Posted - 2007.12.03 19:43:00 - [3] With that logic there's tons of awesome names that'd work.... French Ticklers? Originally by: ISD Valorem The Devs have stated multiple times that they are looking at the Amarr issues.

Tarminic Forsaken Resistance The Last Stand	Posted - 2007.12.03 19:48:00 - [6] Actually, this is not one of my paid whines (which I'm still doing btw, but can't over-saturate the market ). ---------------- Tarminic - 29 Million SP in ~~pink~~ Forum Warfare
Tajidan Mortis Angelus The Church.	Posted - 2007.12.03 19:48:00 - [7] yeh yeh i know, bad enough i'm not first it isnt enough for you to trample my feelings is it.. http://www.eve-gfx.com
Venkul Mul Gallente	Posted - 2007.12.03 19:48:00 - [8] It is done to compensate the EOS nerf, you get the EAS class of ships.
Tajidan Mortis Angelus The Church.	Posted - 2007.12.03 19:50:00 - [9] lolol EAS, has a mildly nasty word in the spelling for me, like; he said as* hehe hehehe... http://www.eve-gfx.com
Tarminic Forsaken Resistance The Last Stand	Posted - 2007.12.03 19:51:00 - [10] How about Spectres? Spectre sounds like a pretty cool class of ship, right guys? ---------------- Tarminic - 29 Million SP in ~~pink~~ Forum Warfare
Tajidan Mortis Angelus The Church.	Posted - 2007.12.03 19:54:00 - [11] Spectre hmmm, then they all should have names like DrEvil or something, no, i think Deceivers would match better in this case http://www.eve-gfx.com
Winterblink Body Count Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.12.03 19:56:00 - [12] I'm a Galactica *****, so I suggest Vipers. :D warp drive active \| nature vraie
Tajidan Mortis Angelus The Church.	Posted - 2007.12.03 19:57:00 - [13] -.- that'd be the raptors, dont you think? http://www.eve-gfx.com
Tarminic Forsaken Resistance The Last Stand	Posted - 2007.12.03 19:58:00 - [14] Originally by: Tajidan -.- that'd be the raptors, dont you think? Except Raptor is already the name of a Caldari Interceptor. ---------------- Tarminic - 29 Million SP in ~~pink~~ Forum Warfare
Stitcher Caldari legion of qui Terra Incognita.	Posted - 2007.12.03 19:59:00 - [15] Corvettes Come on, you've played Homeworld, you know you want them.... - "Stitcher" is just a call sign. My name is Verin Tarn-Hakatain.

Abrazzar	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:01:00 - [17] I'd call them Annoy Boats. If we go for undead I'd say Banshee fits better than Spectre. Of course we could call them Saboteurs, fitting to what they do in combat situations to the enemy ships.
Shiner BockBeer Go Go Gadget ForumPostingAlt	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:02:00 - [18] How about "Pregnant Woman Ships" Now that's truly fearsome. Support Pregnant Ambulation!
Cyfu Amarr	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:04:00 - [19] The Arbitrator Class Ship. Arbitrator is such a powerful word, and it means "a person chosen to decide a dispute or settle differences, esp. one formally empowered to examine the facts and decide the issue. " Basically an Arbitrator can ultimately decide the outcome of the battle. and Arbitor is someone who is chosen to Arbitrate. so you could use variations of that. Just some cool ideas.
Tajidan Mortis Angelus The Church.	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:06:00 - [20] HEY! what about my Deceivers?! they sound cool too (corvettes btw dont have anything to do with E-War, so a big NO from me there) well, another try...how abouut...the AVENGER class EWAR ships no?no? i say yes :D http://www.eve-gfx.com
Stitcher Caldari legion of qui Terra Incognita.	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:07:00 - [21] Originally by: Cyfu The Arbitrator Class Ship. Arbitrator - "Stitcher" is just a call sign. My name is Verin Tarn-Hakatain.

An Anarchyyt Gallente Sublime.	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:09:00 - [23] Spectre could be cool, but that feels more like something Cov Ops, or something that flies along side the Wraith. Originally by: CCP Wrangler Second, a gentile is a non jewish person
Stitcher Caldari legion of qui Terra Incognita.	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:09:00 - [24] Edited by: Stitcher on 03/12/2007 20:11:17 The thing is that most of the suggestions thus far sound a lot like individual ship types - like the Drake, Maller, Rifter and Thanatos - as opposed to ship CLASSES, like Destroyer, Cruiser, Carrier and Frigate. # Spectre - sounds like a covops # Viper - sounds like an interceptor # Banshee - Interceptor # Saboteur - sounds like an Electronic Attack Frigate # Arbiter - sounds like a cruiser # Deceiver - sounds like a destroyer # Avenger - sounds like a tech 2 cruiser - "Stitcher" is just a call sign. My name is Verin Tarn-Hakatain.
Tajidan Mortis Angelus The Church.	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:10:00 - [25] aaah, thank you very much. now i can retire from forum warfare for a bit ^^ http://www.eve-gfx.com

Neth'Rae Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:14:00 - [27] Why 'attack' and not 'assault'? Since they are basically E-WAR Assault Ships.. Request signatures at EVE-GFX
Cyfu Amarr	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:18:00 - [28] There is also the 'Intrepid'. The USS Intrepid was a famous naval vessel. ON Feb 16th, 1804 were able to sneak in and invade the harbour of Tripoli and burn the USS Philadelphia denying its use to the enemy. This was a stealth type attack and it would be a good name for that class of ship.
Tarminic Forsaken Resistance The Last Stand	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:24:00 - [29] Originally by: Cyfu There is also the 'Intrepid'. 'Intrepid' doesn't sounds very dangerous or E-War-ish though... ---------------- Tarminic - 29 Million SP in ~~pink~~ Forum Warfare

If you say so :p Personally, I'm cool with the name, although I'd prefer if they were called Granny Smith's Luxury Jam. Mmmmm, Caldari jam goodness...
Matalino Gallente Ki Tech Industries	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:29:00 - [31] Originally by: Cyfu This was a stealth type attack and it would be a good name for that class of ship. Why? EAS's are not stealth ships. ************************** Datacore Harvesting IPO

Stakhanov The Good Fellas	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:32:00 - [33] Pre-nerfed frigates ? It could be something like Skirmish Recon Frigates. Or more simply , Skirmishers ?
insidion Caldari Last of the Technocracy	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:32:00 - [34] I've always thought they should be called Saboteurs, so that's where my vote goes.
Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:41:00 - [35] i agree with this. i was expecting some uber off the wall crazy whine, but instead i find a legitimate whine i personally like the I do naughty things when you sleep ships idntwys attack!!!!!!!

But personaly calling them "Prowler" would be better, think about it Pirate> ****, I killed the hulk and his corp whipped out a Raven gank squad and there's Prowlers all over the place - HEWLP! Prowler is actualy pretty cool.. Like the E3 EW plane used by the Air Force. Thing can track and jam huge amounts of air space.
Lord Flatulence	Posted - 2007.12.03 21:13:00 - [37] How about Counter Ordnance Craft? I can see it now: Girlfriend: You look tired today. Eve Pilot: Thats because i was up all night playing with my C.O.C...
Sky Grunthor Minmatar Core Element	Posted - 2007.12.03 21:18:00 - [38] what about calling them Tarminic Attack Ships rather than Electronic Attack Ships. I mean Tarminic attacks the forums all the time with depilitation whine posts. And he gets paid for them. So if a little ol frigate goes attacking other ships with electrons its kinda the same thing. whines are consisted of electrons transmited to the target. ewar attacks are just electrons transmitted to the target as well :D Search: Sky Grunthor

mechtech Silver Snake Enterprise	Posted - 2007.12.03 23:53:00 - [52] I like the name "Electronic Superiority Ships" much better than "Electronic Attack Ships", but it's probably too late.

DARTHxFREE G.R.U.N.T	Posted - 2007.12.04 00:54:00 - [55] Yes. "Electronic Attack Ship".. it's very European, must throw in a little Hamerican in the mix, They like to 1st think of an flashy name, usualy widly inapropriate, so the name of an explosive sounds apropriatly inapropriate "dynamite" will do then we must add a (preword) I think their called adjective's?,..MEGA is always a quike fix lastly we need to show some kind of intelegance, by using also numbers in a code like arangment to water down our use of flashy words, this often looks like a postcode, so lets take the Milenium Domes.. SE10 0AX so I present to you the Hamericanified SE10-0AX MEGA "Dynamite" Class Frigate's comming to you in 4 heavily American stero-typed flavours The Ammar Evangelion The Galante Poodle The Minmatar Hobo and the Caldari Hero! /join Cheeze & Whine Club

Vitrael Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2007.12.04 03:12:00 - [57] Edited by: Vitrael on 04/12/2007 03:14:59 Naming conventions of ship classes in Eve are odd. Generally the Tech 1 ship classes simply refer to hull types whereas the Tech 2 refer to roles. However, within Tech 2 class names, there is a division between... -ships with very object-oriented names: Logistic cruiser Command ship Transport ship Stealth bomber (covert ops) Mining Barge (t1 exception) -and others with subject-oriented names: Interceptors Heavy Assault ship Interdictors Assault ship Exhumers Marauders Black Ops The objective names tell you precisely what the ship does or is supposed to do. The Stealth bomber uses cloaks for stealth and shoots bombs/big missiles. In many way these types of names are like definitions. The subjective ships have names that do not mean precisely what their role is but rather make an associative step to reach the intended meaning. The Marauders have large cargoholds and low ammo consumption in order to remain behind enemy lines for extended periods, as a pilot in such a ship might maraud in their territory. In many ways these names are like metaphors. I mean, come on, nobody "exhumes" ore. (for serious! "exhume" implies that it has been purposefully buried...) Okay, so this is incredibly nitpicky, but it's important to make a determination whether you want the ship class name to be objective or subjective. "Electronic Attack Ships" is objective and descriptive, it works fine for me. "Electronic Superiority Ships" works as well. Originally by: Tarminic Suggestions so far: Spectre Corvette Viper Banshee Saboteur Arbiter Deceiver Avenger Tarminic Attack Ships Prowler Electronic Superiority Ship I've bolded the ones I find problematic. I don't think any of those names give the player an accurate (or, in some cases, any) idea what the ship class is or does. Generally the logical step name -> electronic warfare frigate is too large. For an objective name, I prefer Electronic Attack Ships. For a subjective name, I like Saboteur.
Ponderous Thunderstroke Republic War Machine Industries	Posted - 2007.12.04 06:33:00 - [58] A corvette traditionally has been a ship class smaller than a frigate. Basically a small dessie, designed for anti-fighter support. In fact, doesn't one of the rookie ship descriptions say that it is barely a frigate, hardly more than a corvette? Or am I thinking of the wrong game again... anyways. EWar Frigate would work for me, or for those purists that have to spell it all out, Electronic Warfare Frigate.
Acinonyx Jubatus Minmatar International Multi-Player Consortium Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.12.04 06:41:00 - [59] Prowler is the name of a blockade runner... So if it was called Prowler... it'd be funny to hear the comments "help, I'm being attacked by a bunch of Prowlers!" The first thought that'd come to me and probably others is... battle Prowlers of doom. And yes, Prowlers are interesting pvpable ships :P A guy being swarmed by transports... I'd like that mail.
Paulo Damarr	Posted - 2007.12.04 17:26:00 - [60] Originally by: Tarminic Originally by: Saukrates What about putting in "Superiority" instead of "Attack", making it Electronic Superiority Ship instead? Doesn't sound too bad to me. Ooh, I like that one! I may change the thread title to reflect this. This name is trademarked by me as I invented it for another class of ship and a frigate is hardly a superiority craft. I think electronic support ship is more suitable. Originally by: Tortun Nahme CCP also condones thinking, I suggest you try it from tiem to time
Tarminic Forsaken Resistance The Last Stand	Posted - 2007.12.04 21:07:00 - [61] Originally by: Paulo Damarr I think electronic support ship is more suitable. That doesn't sound nearly as awesome though! ---------------- Tarminic - 29 Million SP in ~~pink~~ Forum Warfare
