Dear Community
I do know that we are in a state of doing many wonderful and new things; So while we are touching up on stuff we can maybe take a chance take a serious look at the names of some objects in Dust 514 and ensure consistency with the universe that it belongs in New Eden.
The opportunity to correct some naming conventions is coming pretty soon for a whole category within Dust 514. Vehicles and I invite all of you lore nuts to help out.
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2583382#post2583382 As mentioned here we going to be introducing a whole bunch of new toys and the sorts.
So in order to help out; I am gathering information for two things for suggestion.
1. Vehicle Progression Series Naming Convention
Similar to how Dropsuits are named with AK.0 A/1 and A-1 for progress; we need to ask the same question for vehicles when they are being introduced in a manner. Do we name them all different hulls or do we go the route of the drop suits or do we do something completely different?
Based on the Proposal by CCP Rattati as of 1/22/2015 the Gallente HAV line-up would look like this
Militia (MEDIUM) HAV - Soma (MBT) Standard HAV - Madrugar (MBT) Adv HAV - ??? (MBT) Proto HAV - ??? (MBT) Standard Solo HAV - ??? (MBT) Adv Solo HAV - ??? (MBT) Proto Solo HAV - ??? UHAV - Surya DHAV - Vayu
So how do we go about naming all of them?
A few suggestions include: -Unique Names to all Hulls -Series Naming, Solo HAV series gets a new name, Conventional G-1, G/1, Gk.0 to be used for series. -Dual Series, Solo HAV adopts Madrugar as its name but G-2, G/2, Gk.1 to be used for its series. or a suggestion of your own.
Then for our second part.
Naming the Vehicles; We have the following categories to start gathering names for
Caldari Ground Vehicles - is included on this list because they are all named after weapons a clear break away from normal caldari naming conventions throughout all of new eden. Names of caldari vessels often follow animal naming conventions in both reality and mythos.
1. LAV - Militia - Military 2. HAV - Militia - Military - DHAV - UHAV
Amarr Vehicles - (insert guideline)
1. LAV - Militia - Military 2. HAV - Militia - Military - DHAV - UHAV 3. DS - LDS - ADS
and finally Minmatar Vehicles - (insert guideline)
1. LAV - Militia - Military 2. HAV - Militia - Military - DHAV - UHAV 3. DS - LDS - ADS

So jumping back to some of the data that galm fae and I came up with for the 'loyalty rank names' thread and linguistic influences
Caldari = Japanese influences Gallente = Greek influences (chaotic beings) Amarr = Abrahamic language influences, though latin names end up being favored because charlegmange. Minmatar = Norse language influences.
For caldari I would suggest Raiju (lightning-beast), Nue (Japanese chimera). For minmatar I'd suggest names of norse dragons, giants, animals or spirits. Jotunn, Fafner, Vaettr For gallente I'd suggest names of greek influence either focusing on armor, military or 'chaos' themes, so stuff like Kataphrakt (heavily armored cavalry), xiphos/kopis (Spartan short swords), Hoplon/Aspis (Spartan shield) For amarr it's a bit harder to pin, they like themes of light, fire, religion and judgement, or things that promote their own nobility. Words like Malik (king), Sarak (overseer), Batal (champion) would all be pretty appropriate, making their tanks all sound like kings of the battlefield.

I think there will be people who are fond of many of the Caldari ground vehicle names. However since they're not caldari in nature I say we give the names to where they're more appropriate. The Minmatar.

The Assyrian term Asir/ Ashir also means "overseer" with a direct relevance to the Gods. Specifically I one I found was Asur.
I like the term but I have a **** tonne of really similar sounding ones I am trying to work through.

Not to argue but Quake is the name of a specific kind of Artillery Round.

I'm aware, the finnish influence isn't really all that present in a lot of non-personal naming conventions though. I also think that forcing Nappani on people wouldn't work well as there isn't much frame of reference for it.
I could probably write essays about what caldari culture is like (lots and lots of corporately arranged marriages and 'mixers' where records of psych profiles and everything like that find you your 'perfect' match - but only within your bloodline).

The Assyrian term Asir/ Ashir also means "overseer" with a direct relevance to the Gods. Specifically I one I found was Asur. As I mentioned in the other threads I could suggest something originating out the our own cultures that have developed in the deserts and arid regions of the world. Amarrish is displayed in many different forms from latin to script based like Arabic writings and such. I've also heard it described as something like Castillian or Judaic Spanish with influences from both Europe and the central east. Anshar/Anshur - which means "sky pivot" which is comprised of the terms An "heaven" and Shir/Shur "horizon" Kishar/Kishur - which means "earth pivot" or where the earth ends an is comprised of Ki "earth" and Shir/Shur "horizon" it also means "whole earth" Kur - Which means "great land", "great mountain", and referenced the Sumerian first "ever dragon" but also refers to the Underworld. An-Kur - which I simply refers to "great holy land", "great holy mountain", and "divine ever dragon" (as a fire belcher I thought this was fitting. Livyatan- the old Hebrew term for Leviathan Liwyatan- Tiberian for Leviathan meaning "coiled, snaking" Karkadan/ Kargadan/Kharga - which references and Arabic parallel to the unicorn which was violent and carnivorous and is often depicted as a rhinoceros Usumgal (Usumgalu) - Sumerian in origin meaning "great dragon" Musmahhu - Sumerian in origin meaning "exalted dragon" Marduk - Was a deity of the storms and an Usamgalu Thallath - referencing the ocean was a term used when describing something monstrous of the oceans. Sharur- is a legendary mace from Mesopotamian mythology with the ability to exorcise Shedu Shedu- Storm Demons from mythology I have more but I am trying to work through them all.
Have to watch out because everything babylonian and sumarian generally goes to Gallente instead of Amarr.

I want Madrugar to be changed into Kataphrakt.
It sounds more threatning, and fits the name of a tank. That and Madrugar in spanish means to get up early in the morning. So I kinda laughed when I saw the Gallente's tank name when I first joined.
But if ADV and PRO hulls get to have their own name, I wouldn't mind if Kataphrakt goes into either one of them.

But if (or whenever) we get MTACS, I believe it would be better to name the Gallente one after some beast like Ogre for example.
Tho if you are coming from the anime side, I see what you did there (For those that don't know Mechs in the anime Aldnoah.Zero are called Kataphrakts)

Its a sensible name considering that Kats are typically the calvary replacement (helicopters our current calvary are likely no longer as viable as the used to be in that war environment in where the highly lethal mecha running around.); the deployment of them and mobility they're used for out strips standard infantry and tank divisions immensely. I mean heck the main squad is called mustang in that anime.

Yep, fully aware, but Kataphrakt also means "Heavily Armored" (looked it up for a friend as he was watching Aldnoah). As for Mtacs, Gyges and Hecatonchire would be much better.

I see that you've done a boatload of work while I wasn't looking (sweet jesus you work fast), and I would like to put forth a few quibbles over language: When you look at Amarrian words and language structure you find stuff like sefrim and imud hubrau, both of which seem like mutated words from Hebrew. The signs of faith chronicle also shows written script that very much resembles Arabic, so if we step back a little further we can probably safely say that amarr language structure is primarily Abrahamic in its origin. They also have shown a lot of latin words mixed into their language (semper pax etc).
Gallentean language has never been that solidly codified among the community, but there is a predominance of both greek and French language in it (had to look up a list of NPC's for this). They do love to steal some of their Sumerian names like Anshar, but most of it is either greek or roman.
To that end I feel like Malik belongs far more firmly in the 'amarr' camp than it does in the 'gallente' camp. Hell in the scriptures there is even a person called "moloch the deceiver" which is an easy mutation of malik.
I'm pushing more for linguistic accuracy at this point than proper relation to eve naming convention - we can prune out the less popular / less good ones when we have plenty to spare.

For the Minmatar, I would suggest either Dirk, or Shotel as both are blades, which the Minmatar ships are named after.

That's more of an RP issue. The warbarge design/model will have its own name, what you choose to christen the model is up to you.

Some other beasts and names from Nordic myth are: Arvak is a horse. Alsvid is another horse from the god of the sun. Draugr is a ghost this are treasures keepers. Fylgja is a weird creature that takes an animal shape to go with someone. Garm is like the serberus from Nordic myth, is a dog that protects the doors of Hela. Another god. Geri and Freki both were Odin's wolfs. Helhest is a horse associated with the kingdom if the dead. Nidhogg is a dragon that eats the roots of "tree if the life". Vordr is a spirit that follows everyone lifes.
All of them are "creatures" of Nordic myth that may fit well as a name for those new tanks.

I'd put Keshava or Kesha as a Logistics vehicle, Warbarge or better yet the Gallente RDV.
Keshava sounds to me more like a support vehicle.

It sounds more threatning, and fits the name of a tank. That and Madrugar in spanish means to get up early in the morning. So I kinda laughed when I saw the Gallente's tank name when I first joined.
But if ADV and PRO hulls get to have their own name, I wouldn't mind if Kataphrakt goes into either one of them. I love it, though like others have said, would be better for an MTAC (so we can pretend we're in Aldnoah.Zero)

I see that you've done a boatload of work while I wasn't looking (sweet jesus you work fast), and I would like to put forth a few quibbles over language: When you look at Amarrian words and language structure you find stuff like sefrim and imud hubrau, both of which seem like mutated words from Hebrew. The signs of faith chronicle also shows written script that very much resembles Arabic, so if we step back a little further we can probably safely say that amarr language structure is primarily Abrahamic in its origin. They also have shown a lot of latin words mixed into their language (semper pax etc). Gallentean language has never been that solidly codified among the community, but there is a predominance of both greek and French language in it (had to look up a list of NPC's for this). They do love to steal some of their Sumerian names like Anshar, but most of it is either greek or roman. To that end I feel like Malik belongs far more firmly in the 'amarr' camp than it does in the 'gallente' camp. Hell in the scriptures there is even a person called "moloch the deceiver" which is an easy mutation of malik. I'm pushing more for linguistic accuracy at this point than proper relation to eve naming convention - we can prune out the less popular / less good ones when we have plenty to spare.
Hell I could care less if you called Sarak, Batal and Malik their translated names of Overseer, Champion and King (though I would prefer the untranslated versions).

I have absolutely no background in EVE lore besides the bits and pieces I pick up from EVElopedia articles but since Caldari State is geared towards animals here are my suggestions. Since EVE technically is set in a fictional future where humans have left Earth, would it not be the case that real-world things are mythical/fictional to EVE characters? That was the angle I was going on.

Amarr names: I'm going to make a small break from conventional eve naming schemes in places and use names based on the best approximation of words that form amarr language if I can actually find translations. Some names will have a translated name beside them, others willl be underlined if they're could use some work in the department of thematic cohesion.
MLT LAV: Pariah STD LAV: Mendicant Scout LAV: Ascetic Logistics LAV: Martyr
Theme for LAV's is societal outcasts or outliers. Could maybe use some touching up here.

Theme for HAV's is fairly generic 'We are better than you, and our indomitable will shall show it'. I like the untranslated names, but thematic cohesion / name selection is a bit sub-par when translated.
MLT DS: Wisp STD DS: Djinn Logistics DS: Ophan ('wheels') Assault DS: Seraph (burning one)
Probably the hardest group to get strong thematic cohesion going. I really like Djinn, wisp is slightly less appropriate, ophan and seraph are completely incongruous with djinn & wisp. This section really needs work, if someone finds more suitable names for logi-ds and assault dropship, please post them.

Have you considered using themes like "States of Enlightenment"/ "Religious States" in addition to your "Social Rank/Caste" themes?
E.g- Arahant or Arhat refers to a state of being for "one who is worthy" which is the Hindu equivalent of Siddha "one who is accomplished.
Or if you look into Jainism Arihant is the state before one becomes a Siddha (also apparently the same as arhat in Sanskrit which means "one who vanquishes enemies"). An Arihant is also sometimes called jina of "Conqueror" because they have over come the associated four internal conflicts.
Ascetism is a part of the whole Janic (Janism) system of beliefs.
Also Ahimsa refers to non-violence or the desire to do no harm. Dunno if that would appeal to your as a logisitics platform?

Possible Caldari Vehicle names, keeping it simple I've simply gone for more names of animals One could translate into the Japanese names for certain animals which I may edit in later I've also wanted to keep it to ground animals as opposed to mostly bird/flying names for ships Id also like to see more legendary animal names for proto vehicles Not sure also if my structuring is correct
But here's some ideas
Lavs- MLT- Bison STD- Kodiak Logi- Tarantula Scout-Ferret, Harrier
HAV- MLT- Ocelot STD- Wolverine UHAV- Rhino DHAV- Tiger
Dropships- Cobra, Anaconda
MCC- Kraken, Hydra (probably more gallente)
Work in progress, will edit, probably try and add more east Asian animals Let me know thoughts and if I've got the structure wrong

Minmatar names: Some of these I'll have to defer to our resident expert CCP Rattati. I'm snatching a some of these from Icelandic language and norse myth. In general MLT LAV: Badger STD LAV: Wolverine Scout LAV: Weasel Logistics LAV: Saehrimnir
Tried to base these off of animals. The logi LAV is based off of a mythical boar that would be butchered to feed the einherjar daily but always was whole the next day.
MLT HAV: Lif (the first man in norse myth) STD HAV: Duergar ADV HAV: Svartalfr PRO HAV: Troll (could use replacing with a more suitable or better translated word - it does appear in norse mythology but it's used to refer to Jotunns, though almost as 'lessers') Solo HAV STD/ADV/PRO (uses same names as normal tanks, with some secondary identifier to them Ak2/Gk2/Ck2/Mk2?) STD DHAV: Mjolnir STD UHAV: Jotunn
Theme was manlike creatures of norse myth to them. DHAV was the only exception as it was used to slay giants
MLT DS: Breeze STD DS: Gust Logistics DS: Valkyrie (This one is already used in eve, and is intended to be used again for eve:valkyrie, but I cant think of a more appropriate name for the logistics dropship) Assault DS: Blizzard
Tried to base these off of winds/weather. Valkyrie breaks the theme established, willing to take suggestions on it
MCC: ??? RDV: Var Warbarge: ???
Not a perfect list, more than willing to take suggestions on a number of things here. Dropships and LAV's could be better, fairly happy with the HAV's.

Where we supposed to be going on this?
So far caldari generally favors things that fly to which makes sense considering the spaceships also fly. It would not be a long shot for ground vehicles to be named after things that occupy that space. They have affinity for snakes, birds, and dip into species of mythological animals particularly ones that do not belong to specific deities and are just there part of the natural or mythological world. Humanoid creatures are often avoided for the most part so far.
Also mind you the caldari name things after their 'modern' animals. A kitsune for example is a snake found on achuran homeworld that uses hypnosis on its prey similar to cuttlefish though unfortunately there is no list of animals readily available. This is probably why any mythological beings used in caldari line up has to be a species like deal. Chimeras, kitsune, Tengu, Roks, Drakes, Wyverns, Leviathans, Animals like Slephnir, 4 horses of the apocalypse,
Mythological animals of higher importance fall to gallente.
Why Japanese influence?
Same as the other races; has more to do with ancestry and how they managed to preserve SOME of the old culture. Achuran are descendants of the Japanese people and have ever since they joined the state have been a growing influence on the government and military affairs of whole.
Caldari Navy UNITS (ships still bear the class names) are often named after Japanese military units.

I wouldn't say that considering how hard Sukuuvestaa was on them during the forceful occupation of the Achuran home world. Even in the State they are still very puritanical when it comes to their culture.
I'd suggest the Achuran's are tolerated not necessarily welcomed.
Though to be fair I havent read much lore on them. If you have some links or sourced relating to their culture let me know.

Caldari Names: Upon some looking I see quite a few names in the existing caldari list that work and work fairly well, but then I see other names that I'd rather have changed. Caldari tend to use a wide range of 'normal' animal names alongside mythical animal names. Links try to use websites that best describe some of the names/creatures I chose - I chose to err more along the 'mythical' lines as 'conventional' animals (in particular predatory animals are already used by minmatar, whereas venom ous creatures, ambush predators and birds are favored by caldari).
MLT LAV: Blackbuck (formerly onikuma) STD LAV: Onager (changed from saga) Scout LAV: Pronghorn (formerly known as the callisto) Logistics LAV: Kirin (formerly known as the Charybdis)
Unfortunately the previous names for all but the MLT LAV broke theme. I tried to go with animals that were 'fast' and 'equine' here. Onikuma was moved to be the MLT HAV.
MLT HAV: Onikuma (current translation is 'demon-bear'. formerly Sica) STD HAV: Terrapin (formerly Gunnlogi. I wanted to use snapping turtle, but I didn't want to hyphenate the word or have it be the only name with a space present) ADV HAV: Python (was moved from ADS due to fitting theme better). PRO HAV: Komodo Caldari Solo HAV STD/ADV/PRO (uses same names as normal tanks, with some secondary identifier to them?) STD DHAV: Raiju (formerly Falchion) STD UHAV: Baku (formerly Sagaris)
The caldari HAV lineup that we had in dust was thematically wrong, the names were far more in line with minmatar themes than with anything that could properly be associated with caldari. I tried to go with large, bulky predators that are known for making an efficient kill (even if it's a drawn out one), I opted against using 'crocodile' as it would be active and 'violent' enough to fall under the minmatar scheme...
MLT DS: Viper STD DS: Nue (formerly known as the Myron) Logistics DS: Amaterasu (formerly known as the Eryx) Assault DS: Kamaitachi (formerly the python) second link goes into a bit more detail than first
The Myron and the Eryx had to be renamed. While the python didn't need a renaming as much, I went with a name that I felt more accurately captured the role of an 'assault dropship'. The caldari have a penchant for taking Japanese mythological creatures and naming birds/snakes on their homeworlds after them.

Like the beasts of burden theme for LAV Really like komodo as the pro hav And the 2 deity/spirit ideas for specialist tanks

^viper for cal mlt ds could be replaced with something more appropriate, I had the brief thought of 'karasu' (Japanese crow).
I went with raiju because of the light and noise from railguns (it still works if its missiles due to it being a 'thunder' beast). Baku was chosen for being kind of a chimerical elephant/tapir that's 'defensive' in its nature (and it scares off yokai in myth).

Maybe for the adv hav, some kind of crocodile? Python fits but was thinking of trying to scale it up from terrapins/xxxxxxx/komodo Perhaps Cayman? Keeping it large lizards/shelled reptiles
The theme I was running with for the hav's was 'large durable reptiles that killed with one bite', the reasons I went against crocodile was partially because I disliked the name and partially because crocodile attacks are always super violent high energy affairs: the croc bursts out of the water clamps its jaws around its prey then drags them back into the water and drowns them. That explosive energy is very minmatar.
Compare it to the other stuff: a snapping turtle (the name I would use if I could) lures its prey then bites it right in half. Pythons are constrictor snakes they get one good bite in then coil around their prey and crush it to death. Komodos have a bite that isn't venomous but does 'inject' anti-coagulants and all sorts of foul bacteria, it bites you once and you bleed, get sick and then die all while the giant lizard follows you, knowing it probably doesn't need to bite again. All are relatively 'low energy / low struggle' methods, the Komodo being by far the most predatory (a caldari virtue).

If we were going based on lethality of venom there's plenty of stuff that would trump the constrictors and the komodo, the problem with venom though is that generally you only get a few chances at it, whereas constrictors can just keep trying and the komodo's bite is pretty unique in that it doesn't really lose potency or need to wait to hit those minimum 'lethal' dosage levels again.

Gallente Vehicle Names: This list will end up mostly using its current names, largely because the vast majority of them were 'correct' to begin with, a few replacements might occur if I cant pick out the original origin of a name or if the original didn't seem to have any connection with the gallente.
MLT LAV: Baloch STD LAV: Methana Scout LAV: Abron Logistics LAV: Limbus
From what I can tell, all of these are suitable though they're various ethnic groups and more than a few of them get away from the Mediterranean and into the africas / indias.
MLT HAV: Soma STD HAV: Aspis(formerly madrugar - from what I could tell madrugar meant 'to get up early' in spanish) ADV HAV: Xiphos PRO HAV: Kataphrakt Gallente Solo HAV STD/ADV/PRO (uses same names as normal tanks, with some secondary identifier to them?) STD DHAV: Vayu STD UHAV: Surya
Left most names intact. Soma doesn't really suit theme (it's a type of drink?). Names chosen were from ye ancient military hardware.
MLT DS: Gorgon STD DS: Keshava (formerly Grimsnes) Logistics DS: Prometheus Assault DS: Incubus
Was able to whip this up fairly quick due to not having to redo *everything*.

Should also note that some manufacuters favor a name style well at times generally expressed with the tech 2 ships of new eden so that could be something to use for your own naming schemes.
I tried to update the big list but ran out of characters. well just have to have the entire thread available for feedback regardless.

I wouldn't really think any of the vehicles fall into the 'tech two' category though, would they? If so I still don't believe they have designated manufacturers.

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".

... 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) |

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.

Please note that the Marduk and Gladius are currently placeholders.
One convention moving forward though is that all ADV and PRO hulls are going to follow the dropsuit format. Thus

Meanwhile continue to pile up the names Ill see about arranging the list to make for more room.

Updated the big list; removed specific named angels out of the amarr list and specific things that of to god as they both seem currently absent in the amarrian name lineup.
Now with more room for everything!
Also if you find an obscure name please link its source so additional research and proper classing can be done.

I still maintain Ashir or Asir should be a name of the Amarr HAV. 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.

How foes Ashir for with what an HAV is though? Wouldn't a word/name that means "overseer" be more fitting for something more... overseer-y. HAVs are vehicles of pure war. Ashir sounds like it would be a better name for a logistics vehicle of some sort. Perhaps Logistics Dropships when they return and we get AmDSs...?
I feel we could follow the sword-based names we've given HAVs in the past(and the immenent Gladius) and call the Amarr HAV the Yataghan, which is a Turkish/Ottoman short saber with a forward curve.

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.

Do you think that may be because they haven't had much opportunity to yet in Dust???
In EVE Caldari ships are named after birds, primarily, and that isn't the case in Dust. We have things like Marduk(a Babylonian god), Python(a snake), Myron(a Greek sculptor), Saga(a word for story or tale), Eryx(a Greek city)... ect. The Caldari are all over the place with their names, why can't the Amarr break the mold a little as well?
The same naming conventions don't seem to apply for ground units as the ones for starships, which is completely reasonable. Just like how US military names their jets after birds of prey, but not their ground vehicles...

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.

The same naming conventions don't seem to apply for ground units as the ones for starships, which is completely reasonable. Just like how US military names their jets after birds of prey, but not their ground vehicles... Even the few currently named Amarrian items we have in Dust don't completely follow the vague and nonspecific religious naming. Dragon Scouts. Not religious at all, really. Opus Assault. (a son of Zues, which isn't vague or nonspecific) Fizzer, the current names of caldari stuff in dust currently are wrong.
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. Similarly we should try to find a close approximation to what the amarr currently have in dust for their groundside stuff, which might make part of my list 'wrong', so I tried to base it off language and 'roles'.

Just like how US military names their jets after birds of prey, but not their ground vehicles... Even the few currently named Amarrian items we have in Dust don't completely follow the vague and nonspecific religious naming. Dragon Scouts. Not religious at all, really. Opus Assault. (a son of Zues, which isn't vague or nonspecific) Fizzer, the current names of caldari stuff in dust currently are wrong. 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. Similarly we should try to find a close approximation to what the amarr currently have in dust for their groundside stuff, which might make part of my list 'wrong', so I tried to base it off language and 'roles'.
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.

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. Real simple. >For the Caldari, keep them named after animals. I almost want to suggest fish based names for their vehicles, as birds names are just dumb outside of dropships.

Honestly..... 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.

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.

NPC ranks and I believe one of their still unique to them frigates is also another. Angels almost have enough unique ships to be a 5th race; second closest would now be the jovians.

Tengu is taken by the T3 Caldari Strategic Cruiser.
Sickle to my knowledge is not. Shotel is also a similar name for the weaponised variant of the traditional farming tool.

Hey Iknow i showed up late, but could I request that the devs consider naming the amarr drop ship Apostle, and rename the gallente ship Pegasus, in order to preserve canon as they are named such in published texts older than the dust 514 game (the empyrean age & templar one)? Edit: and also to name the minmatar MTAC "spearstrike" for the same reason, from the same source
