We've all heard them before: collective nouns.

a pride of lions,
a heard of elephants,
a pod of whales,
a flock of sheep,
a murder of crows.

What about your favorite EVE ships? What collective nouns would you use?

A wave of comets ?

A swarm of rifters ?

An embarrassment of ravens ?

If only we could fall into a woman's arms

without falling into her hands

A regatta of tornadoes

Would also work for tempests, I suppose.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

It is actually an unkindness of ravens, which is one of my favourite nouns of assemblage.

As for eve, I'd suggest it was a fail of drakes, a fart of tornadoes and a malevolence of vindicators.
