Dear CCP,

I humbly and respectfully ask you to rename the Interbus Ship Identification System (ISIS), into a new more unique acronym.

I suggest a new name for the ship Identification System into one that more universal and in kind with the purpose of the Identification System.

It is a game mechanic that allows players to understand the strengths and weaknesses of a ship that they haven't seen before as a new player.

Or perhaps a renewed veteran wants to know the effectiveness the player should expect to have when flying any particular ship.

Many feel a certain degree of embarrassment when having to hear the acronym of a brutal terrorist regime rampaging in the Mittani.

I thus propose a new name for the service into one more friendlier and more concrete in its foundations and not open to reinterpretation.

The name I propose is THE NEW EDEN SHIP INDEX or ( NESI ) for short.

This draws a connection to the Cryptozoology of the Loch Ness Sea Monster or Nessie for short.

I believe this would draw a proper parallel between what the system does and what it implies.

The connotation of the loch Ness Monster is of mystery and skepticism when brought forth for discussion and inquire.

The Interbus Ship Identification System should resolve any question as to what a ship does and how to react to it.

This is more in line with wanting to know the unknown and better understand the less known.

It is also highly doubt any marauding band of bandits is going around calling themselves Nesi.


Thanks You,
Sharon

We should too alter all the history books, where the Isis goddess is cited, to some other thing, because there is something scary in the world that we should not talk about.

or you could just stop using the abbreviation. Even better, a few months into the game, and you never look at the thing anyway.

Tell you what I do like though: A killer. A dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold-blooded, clean, methodical and thorough.

Only non Loch Ness Monster connection I found on a quick search.

Thanks for comments and thoughts.

Been thinking about this for a month or two now.

That explains why your information is three months out of date. Oh wait.

I don't think CCP should rename it. This is pretty silly.

While we are on the subject. Can we get a ban on the TV show "Archer" and on ice cream in Denmark?

I totally feel like a terrorist sympathizer, when I watch "Archer" with my bucket of IS!

Anyone suggesting Interbus and/or their wonderful Ships Identification System has anything to do with rebellious acts in any way, gets their thread locked. We are talking a respectable company here!

Also, in RL I know at least two woman named Isis.....Big smile
