TunRa RETR0 PR0 GAMERS INTERGALACTIC WARPIGS 228	Posted - 2013.12.05 23:27:00 - [1] - Quote Quote: Here is what we are trying to convey with the new end of match screen: What just happened in the battle? Did you defend the district? Conquer it? What effect did this battle have on the overall ownership of the planet for DUST? The solar system for DUST? The entire warzone for DUST? What has the history of the solar system and warzone been like for DUST? How active is this solar system and how close is the solar system to being captured? The pilot stats section will show information including the jumps in the last hour, the ships destroyed in the last hour and other statistics about EVE players in the solar system. They keep saying solar system as if we are fighting in our own backyard. Solar system refers to our planetary system not any other! It is called the SOLar system because the Latin name for sun is SOL, so we get the solar system. However in Dust we are light years away from Earth not next to it. The proper term should be planatary system, this refers to a set of gravitationally bound non-stellar objects in orbit around a star. You think a company that makes a space video game would know the diffrence. TL;DR: CCP doesn't know anything about space. Also this is a petition to get CCP to change everything that has solar system in it to planetary system. Is this where I write the signature? No?

Not Solar System, Sol System. Solar is synonymous with stellar, so, therefore, technically, they are not incorrect. Names of playstyles

Boot Booter Omega Elite Mercs INC. 214	Posted - 2013.12.05 23:35:00 - [7] - Quote Yeah I don't think they are wrong to say solar system. Solar refers to a sun or star and system is a group of planetary and non-planatary objects which are gravitationally bound to the star. Maybe I am 'technically' wrong though.. I'd rather ccp focus on other issues.
Garth Mandra The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 247	Posted - 2013.12.05 23:36:00 - [8] - Quote Another common mistake is referring to "Suns". There is only one Sun. The rest are stars.

Well, there is the fact that most people, including teachers, only learn about the Sol System in Elementary school, and never again. I was curious enough to look it up on my own. Sol IS Latin for star, not Sun, we just took a different name for it when English learned the word, a Germanic name. It's the same with Luna. Our moon is literally called Luna, but everyone just learns "The Moon". Names of playstyles

Also this is a petition to get CCP to change everything that has solar system in it to planetary system. NERD RAGE I think they don't know that much about English, not space, e.g. the skill for Kinetic Catalyzers is called "Kinetic Catalyzation" When lexical cannon dictates otherwise: Analyze / Analysis Catalyze / Catalyzation(???) instead of Catalysis which would be a no brainer if the dude at CCP naming the skill tree had been involved in a context where reading a Biology book in English was a habit. They are just trying SO hard not to sound foreign but no dice...

If you read sci-fi in which humanity has expanded beyond this star system, it's always called Sol System. They don't call it Earth System because it isn't geocentric.
