Out of curiosity could you list the trends between T2 manufacturer and naming style? The Khanid use basically an inversion of the standard Amarrian naming style favouring negative variations as you well know. Carthum seem to go balls to the wall "PARAGON's OF RECLAMATION".

(updating as I find the sources) Minmatar Names Sagaris - A cavalry heavy spear.

Chakram is chakram not charkum BTW and are you trolling or never noticed that cestus, bolas, gunnlogi, and sica are all caldari vehicles in dust 514 already? Are you wanting to move these names to minmatar vehicles instead? I would defend a cestus more if it was a little rusty TBH Edit: can we hope to see the min/amarr MCCs finally be brought in? The art assets for them are just collecting dust right?(not 514, I'm talking the bad kind of dust)
MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 2241	Posted - 2015.02.23 17:40:00 - [125] - Quote Griev, those names are being moved to minmatar because they have nothing to do with the caldari. In eve the minmatar have a lot of ships named after weapons (stiletto, rapier, sabre, scythe, broadsword, scimitar, claymore), violent actions (thrasher, rupture, burst, stabber etc) or storms (hurricane, typhoon, tornado, cyclone, maelstrom, tempest), they also have the occasional ship names after a big / dangerous animal. The caldari in eve have their ships named largely after birds / cats, a few other animals, and mythological creatures. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

One convention moving forward though is that all ADV and PRO hulls are going to follow the dropsuit format. Thus G-1 G/1 GK.0 series.

It does not refer to the name of a God its a term that refers to one being an Overseer with specific relevance to a position of religious authority in the name of various gods. Additionally Usumgal [Usumgallu] I stand by though unlike to meet the list as it is not the name of a God but the term used to describe a specific kind of deity. Depending on which sources you draw from it could either be a traditional fire breathing four legged dragon or a lion-eagle hybrid.... again not the name of a god just a specific aspect of mythology.

The problem with that, is that weapon based naming is an entirely minmatar thing. part of the reason this thread exists is because Rattati acknowledged that someone who worked on this previously screwed up and went with names that have nothing to do with lore. The gallente lineup was actually somewhat functional. The caldari lineup was much closer to a minmatar + guristas. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

Amarr have never named anything after weapons though. Indeed though it seems to me the Amarr are fans of their ships have roles..... Going of Mina Longstike's theme of roles and the Amarrian predilection for being domineering/wanting to dominate/etc alongside their religious nature figured that something like an Overseer -Overseer of men in the name of god -Overseer of worship of the god -Overseer of the battlefield Would suit the Amarr well and fit in alongside existing terms in a similar theme. The other themes I am a big fan of is the States of Enlightenment one, and the Khanid Hexes/Curses/Ill Intent theme. "This is the Usumgal boy, the exalted dragon, wreathed in the fires of heaven. He is a true symbol of God's majesty."

Greek stuff is aside from a small bit of the lai dai stuff in eve - aka manticore, Cerberus, basilisk, & maybe golem if you stretched it, almost entirely gallente: they have ships named Astarte, deimos, phobos, lachesis, arazu, erebus, myrmidon, ares, helios, enyo, keres, eris, hyperion, obelisk, moros, thanatos, nyx, anshar. That's three to roughly twenty as there are more that I suspect but am not sure of, the caldari aren't even in the **ing runnings for 'who has the most greek stuff' when compared to the gallente. I will repeat it again, you should not base anything off of the current caldari naming scheme dust side as it is wrong parts of it being more gallente (the greek tie-ins), minmatar (weapons) or guristas (lizards/snakes). So yeah, animals / reptiles are the most 'authentic' there which is what we have in eve.

I can somewhat agree the Dust side stuff doesn't absolutely need to adhere to the EVE side naming conventions...... but certainly should attempt to follow the general guidelines laid down. I simply like the name Usumgal for a couple of reasons but it boils down to one central concept. The Amarr love their fire, whats more synonymous with fire than a dragon, what's holier than a normal dragon, a divine one, where in mythology does one exists which may align with the depictions of language and culture the Amarr seem to have. Mesopotamia more specifically early mesopotamian [Akkadian] lore..... gallente get those gods however..... but the Usumgallu is not a God....... therefore as a large fire breather of great stature that is terrifying to behold and will sap the will from enemies who face it...... I think it is suitable. "This is the Usumgal boy, the exalted dragon, wreathed in the fires of heaven. He is a true symbol of God's majesty."

GOD NO. Who in the name of Amarr wants to drive a Heideran or a Jamyl? "This is the Usumgal boy, the exalted dragon, wreathed in the fires of heaven. He is a true symbol of God's majesty."

That's basically what I'm saying. There doesn't need to be the exact same naming conventions for terrestrial vehicles and spaceships. In fact, it would be silly if there were. Caldari HAVs named after birds? Minmatar vehicles named after storms? That just seems so fundamentally wrong. I just makes sense for there to be slightly different thematic naming for extremely differing groups of vehicles. But yeah, generally follow the same guidelines. >For the Amarr, keep the naming phonetically lore-friendly, and roughly religious. So keep them "Middle Eastern/Fertile Crecent" sounding. I'm going to suggest that maybe we could name them after old Emperors... that would be ludicrously lore-friendly. >For the Gallente, keep the names Greek.

GOD NO. Who in the name of Amarr wants to drive a Heideran or a Jamyl? There's got to be a few decent sounding Imperial names... And if there isn't, we make some **** up! There are 1000s of years with of Amarrian culture that still hasn't been completely covered, and hundreds of Emperors we don't know the names of. Surely we can make up some awesome sounding names... And who would name something after after the current leader? That's just bad taste. You always name them in memory... No Jamyls will be driving around. Home at Last <3
