you heard it here folks, even if you win your name may actually be rejected because lore.

to those with non-lore fitting names... you arnt alowed to name it after yourself either.

this is why we dont have a "laser focused" laser rifle in the game right now

That's not even remotely the reasoning behind why wee don't have it. They can't even take it under consideration if it is never purposed.

it was an example, the reason weather it was proposed or not is in fact that it must be named in a particular fashion and fit within the lore of the eve universe

laser focused laser rifle does not fit and is not alowed.

(name of person fitting eve lore standards)'s
+
(modified or other lore sounding title / optional)
+
(jumble of letters/numbers as fitting current officer weapon nameing scheme)
+
(weapon name)

if it does not fit this, its out. if it doesnt fit the lore standards its out.

this is EXACTLY the reasoning for why we CANT have a "laser focused" laser rifle and other similar inside joke based names.

its a PSA so that people who only intended to enter the contest to introduce such names into sidearms would be aware that their name will be denied if it doesnt follow the standard above or they cant convince them lore wise why a weapon should deviate from the standard above.

this standard has been confirmed as the standard by wich the names are held to. the only deviation from this would have to be some exceptioally wonderful lore centric argument that you can get them to agree with (because they arnt being mean by having things named like this, theres a number of valid reasons to restrict things in this manner)

i used "laser focused" as an example becuase it was the most recognisable and floated around the forums the most.

weather it was submitted or not is irrelevent, the point is that such a name would be denied

Based on that naming convention, I think the following would be appropriate. First option: 'Maken's' B-R5 Nova Knives Alternative (in case the first doesn't get accepted): 'Gerald's' B-R5 Nova Knives Reasoning behind the first one: I thought about using my whole name but it doesn't sound very New Eden like so I dropped the last name. B-R5 is an ode to the famous battle of B-R5RB that will forever be known as the bloodiest player-driven battle in New Eden history. This battle was so epic that it even got it's own monument as a reminder of what happened there. Reasoning behind the alternative: Gerald is a reference to my Eve Online character Gerald Sphinx who is also Gallente just like Maken. You already know the B-R5 reference now.

Second Cerberus Tested In Production 141	Posted - 2014.09.29 23:10:00 - [57] - Quote I understand why CCP wants to protect their IP and hopefully some of these assets make it into Legion. With that said I also understand the desire to slip a tongue-in-cheek bit of humor into the game. That sort of stuff breeds inside jokes and helps strengthen the community. I have absolutely no chance of winning, however my two choices would be: 'Hardfreeze' P-S3 Magsec and 'Invalid" F1-T Submachine Gun I feel this little bit or irreverence would be appreciated by newbs and vets alike and enshrine a little of the DUST forums into whatever form this game takes in the future. They would also both be compliant lore-wise as 'zerofrost' is already a rail rifle name and I believe I've seen "Invalid" used in context of a planet or system in Eve.

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 9591	Posted - 2014.09.30 00:44:00 - [58] - Quote Here's a good one. Maken's BT-INI Nova Knives Reference: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Eve_Expansions Quote: Trinity Release date: December 5, 2007 Features include an updated graphics engine and 5 new ship classes totaling 20 new ships. The 5 classes are interdictor cruisers (Heavy Interdictors) and electronic warfare frigates (Electronic Attack Ships) as well as battleships (Black Ops, designed for covert operations and Marauders, designed for long-range deployment) and freighters (Jump Freighters). Although "Factional Warfare," a major addition to game mechanics, had been planned for this patch it was later announced that it would be included in a future patch, along with Ambulation (walking in stations and Full Human Representation, announced on the Eve Online Fanfest 2007). Starting with the release of Trinity, CCP offered two editions of the Eve Online client. One with regular graphics content, called Trinity 1.0 Classic, and one with updated graphics, called Trinity 1.0, also referred to as Premium. Players who run a Shader Model 3-capable graphics card can choose whether they want the Classic or Premium content. Without such a graphics card the client uses the Classic content. The initial version of the Trinity patch could under certain circumstances delete the player's operating system's boot.ini file, thus rendering the operating system unbootable. Six hours after the release of this faulty patch CCP fixed the issue. While the number of affected players is unknown, 215 had specifically asked CCP for assistance. After all, there are Special Edition Boots named after this incident in Eve Online. On Twitter: @HilmarVeigar #greenlightlegion #dust514 players are waiting.
