Father Shillelagh	Posted - 2008.01.25 23:12:00 - [1] Just watched Wing Commander, was bored and well had nothing to watch. The ships Rapier and Broadsword were both mentioned, didnt really pay much attention, but i wonder where if ccp has used the names from ships in other films.
An Anarchyyt Gallente Battlestars GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.01.25 23:17:00 - [2] The fact that you just referenced Wing Commander, and only referenced it is that pretty awful movie makes me very very sad......and angry. Originally by: CCP Wrangler Second, a gentile is a non jewish person

Winterblink Body Count Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2008.01.25 23:30:00 - [4] That movie was so screwed over by studio budgeting and editorial influence, though. It could have been totally awesome, but Chris Roberts wasn't able to really bring his vision properly to the screen. Probably shouldn't have been made then, but hey... that's Hollywood. warp drive active \| nature vraie

Still it was one of them " catch up films "
F'nog Amarr Celestial Horizon Corp. Valainaloce	Posted - 2008.01.25 23:36:00 - [6] Considering that rapiers and broadswords are, well, swords, and have been around for centuries, you really can't say that CCP got them from movies. The same is true for just about all the ship names. They're from myths, religious ideas, and the natural world. So they're all pretty old. Originally by: Kazuma Saruwatari F'nog for Amarr Emperor.

Joe Starbreaker Starbreaker Spaceways	Posted - 2008.01.25 23:46:00 - [7] I want to fly a Firefly-class frigate.
Suze'Rain Caldari	Posted - 2008.01.25 23:53:00 - [8] you may be amazed to notice that there are other minmatar ship names like the rapier... like the claymore, stiletto and so on. I cant see any other connection that they could be named by, other than that they're also names from sci-fi films. scratches head

Leandro Salazar Aeon Industries	Posted - 2008.01.26 00:32:00 - [11] I think someones irony detector had a major malfunction... Also, there IS a real Wing commander movie, with good acting and a superb story. It is called Wing Commander IV ;) (Preferably the highres DVD edition) There is no 'n' in turret There is no 'r' in faction There is no 'a' in Scorpion There is no 'e' in Caldari There is no makeup in rogue drones
DigitalCommunist Obsidian Core	Posted - 2008.01.26 00:33:00 - [12] Rapier and Broadsword are.. swords. I don't think Wing Commander is somehow being more original. Last I checked, they don't own the copyright to HORNET either. If you want to know what sci-fi EVE borrows most from, its Babylon 5. _______________________________ http://epicwords.net/

SiJira	Posted - 2008.01.26 20:02:00 - [15] theres only so many names you can use before you start naming them kitty and pigeon Trashed sig, Shark was here
Avery Fatwallet	Posted - 2008.01.26 20:11:00 - [16] well. eve is certainly influenced by various sci-fi stuff... but i dont think "rapier" and "broadsword" are indicating this. both are just variations of the butterknife, which pretty much makes them everyday home appliances. you dont say your kitchen is matrix-influenced, when youre out of spoons, do you? stuff i spotted that got me thinking was masters of orion and dr.strangelove.

It doesnt look exactly the same, for obvious reasons, but I think there was some heavy inspiration taken here... http://www.flatrock.org.nz/wolf/images/X2_Pix/D_Sulaco1.jpg

I'm sure there were many games/movies/novels that inspired ship designs and mods. Originally by: Kazuma Saruwatari F'nog for Amarr Emperor. Nuff said
Ashira Twilight	Posted - 2008.01.26 21:30:00 - [20] Edited by: Ashira Twilight on 26/01/2008 21:32:47 Edited by: Ashira Twilight on 26/01/2008 21:31:53 When I got my rokh, I named it SULACO. Too bad it doesn't undock often... The Sulaco in Aliens was a cruiser, and it did have railguns. Those two big gun-looking things are PPCs(particle projection cannons). Most of it's firepower was in the form of missiles. I am such an Aliens fanboi...in a closet somewhere I have schematics for it. ------------------------------- The opinions reflected in this post DO reflect the opinions of my corp...of one guy and a bunch of alts.
Dromidas Shadowmoon Minmatar 54th Knights Templar Dark Matter Coalition	Posted - 2008.01.26 21:36:00 - [21] well, Star Wars had interdictor class ships whose whole purpose was to bring ships flying passed them out of hyperspace :) Nearly everything today is based off of something in history, it's not a new theory :) Tolkein is credited with a LOT of influence in nearly everything fantasy,and rightly so. (everquest, warcraft, d&d, etc) Bladerunner is credited with nearly everything cyberpunk (firefly, neocron, etc) Star Wars is credited with most things scifi (eve, etc) _______________________________________________ Minmatar will always go faster than you, get over it.

Bigeasy Caldari Shadow Of The Light Scorched Earth Directive	Posted - 2008.01.26 21:45:00 - [24] I always figured that eve was influenced by Babylon 5. Just look at the Narns and Centari. A lot like the Amarr and Minmatar don't you think. Big Let them hate, so long as they fear-Caligula
clone 1 Laughing Leprechauns Corporation	Posted - 2008.01.26 22:19:00 - [25] Originally by: Bigeasy I always figured that eve was influenced by Babylon 5. Just look at the Narns and Centari. A lot like the Amarr and Minmatar don't you think. Big I think so too. When I heard ship names in B5 such as Hyperion and Archon I thought of eve straight away. The blue/red shift for the warp is also familiar. -------------------------------------------------- The Angels Have the Phone Box

Plutonian Plutonian Shore	Posted - 2008.01.26 23:36:00 - [29] Edited by: Plutonian on 26/01/2008 23:40:56 Working on a start-up game project, I was given the job of finding original names for over 1000 modules and ships. Not an easy task. No matter how cool and unknown you think the name is, someone has used it somewhere. Thunderbolt, piranha, raven, leviathan-class anything, rapier, broadsword, etc... these are all the 'usual suspects' in a sci-fi setting. Almost unavoidable. EDIT: I remember when Firefly came out Stephen Robertson (a designer of I-War and EoC) remarking on many similarities... from a ship which looked surprisingly like a Dreadnaught corvette in firefly to the main character being named Mal (main character in EoC was named Cal and similar). There is little new under the sun in this field.
