Hello, I have a very minor thing to say today.

I was looking at the mining barges, and I noticed that the Procurer would be a better name for the current Covetor, as it "procures" the most ore, as it has the best yield. Likewise, the current Procurer would should be called the Covetor, as it has the best tank.

In summary, names are OP, plz nerf.

:) The reasoning is sound.


On the other hand, my head has still not wrapped around the changes to the Iteron 1-4. I don't know if my poor overloaded brain could process wobbling any more names around atm.


Edit: But should one not covet the best you can? One can procure less than ideal, but no point in coveting anything but the best there is to offer.

Agreed. And to avoid confusion, CCP should just swap around the stats on each ship next patch. Make sure to list it under the long "bug fix" section.

I think the names are good. "Procurer" implies someone sensible, industrious, and effective - qualities more often found in Procurer pilots than the pilots of other barges. "Coveter" implies someone who is greedy to the point of being irrational, an accurate description of that hull's pilots.

Edit: what they should really do is rename the Hulk "Piñata".

The Vijkings called it Iceland even though the weather is moderate (except in the mountains) and there was more than enough verdant pastureland. They also called it Greenland even though it was an Arctic icebound hellhole, which explains why the largest "city" only has 16,500 inhabitants.

Also, you don't drive in your driveway, any more than you park on a parkway.

There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance.
