True Adamance Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 17499	Posted - 2015.03.06 02:41:00 - [151] - Quote Fizzer XCIV wrote: True Adamance wrote: Fizzer XCIV wrote: True Adamance wrote: 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.

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.

MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 2283	Posted - 2015.03.06 10:23:00 - [155] - Quote Archon is already used by the amarr carrier. Fury is more minmatar oriented (unless it was Erinyes which would be gallente oriented). Penitent is acceptable... but more of a khanid thing than standard amarr. Einherjar is already used by minmatar 'fighter' drones (manned craft used by carriers). Gungnir is acceptable. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

Edit: and also to name the minmatar MTAC "spearstrike" for the same reason, from the same source Sebiestor scout, MTAC pilot, Merc w/ a face
