I'm african american, and this does concern me. There are many words that begin with N so perhaps you should be more specific since I see no issue with naming a ship after a mythical snake. However, Caldari seem to prefe bird names anyways..
and besides,

racists in EVE?

Naga please.

Yo Naga I heard you like Snakes on your ride so I put nagas in your naga so you can hiss while you hiss.

Look, if you would pronounce the words properly you wouldn't have this problem. See with the word that offends you, you need to pronounce the ending R harder. Try it.....see, doesn't sound anything like Naga once pronunciation is corrected. If you practice the pronunciation of that word more often, perhaps every morning, soon, you'll be able to distinguish the difference quite easily. It's just a matter of habituation.

Don't ban me, bro!

or are you a moron?


"my own people"?

FYI, racism begin when you start making a difference between "us" and "them".

As for the Naga name, you're just oversensitive. Get over it already.

Thank you good sir for launching an unintentional meme.

Naga please

The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.

One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.

I would just like to make the observation that OP did the worst possible thing for his argument by pointing it out in the first place. He must be new here.

Specially with all the ESL people out there....

Imagine hearing on ts2 ok i just got ganked by 3 naga's.... or omg 50 naga's just undocked...

I know the mythos behind the name is cool and all but i am afraid most people will get the nega mixed up with this



Agreed........

the naga is a humaniod reptilian in World of Warcraft. So, plz don't name it that.

The use of the word Naga isn't very uncommon and pretty much any game that based off of fantasy or mythology uses it. The meme Naga please or Naga stole my bike has been around for years.

Get over it.
