It must take a lot of dedication (or unhealthy obsession) to play a game with spaceships, and then decide to make actual spaceships. |

In both cases (eve as well) they are named after rolls royce aero engines. They are probably the greatest aircraft engines ever made, powering half all allied aircraft in world war 2 (spitfire, hurricane, mustang et all).
RR piston engines were named as follows - Falcon, eagle, buzzard, vulture, merlin (most famous) , kestrel, hawk, condor, Griffon. The only RR engine names not now caldari ship names (yet) are the goshawk and the perrigrine. |

My company makes the Raven and the Helios.. SpaceX, my company, and CCP follow the tradition of naming flying things after birds, gods, and other cool things.
I am running for the CSM. Take a look at my ideas.
