I think the Caldari Navy Hookbill should be renamed to the State Navy Hookbill because it frankly looks silly that the Hookbill has it's respective race in its name.

Caldari Navy hookbill

They all have 3 words, Faction/Navy/Hull exclusively in that order
Also nowhere else is it listed as the "State Navy" its has always been "Caldari Navy" Even the corporation is "Caldari Navy"

Why change it if it isnt broken? Or remotely close to broken?

As opposed to all Caldari Navy ships, modules, implants, charges, and the likes? Why just the Hookbill?

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

Then change it all because it seems silly.

Things dont get changed because they seem silly to a small number of people, things get changed because they need it or because they are broken.

This fits neither.

Given that there's the Raven Navy Issue, which has a sister ship the Raven State Issue which I've never actually seen in space and has NO sell orders on EvE central, I think 'State' is reserved for limited edition or otherwise extremely rare/valuable ships, so I'll have to disagree with this idea

State issue is reserved for that single hull, which was an Alliance tournament ship years ago ( i think the first or 2nd tourny of all ) its literally priceless and ive heard it can put out 2k+ DPS but i cant confirm it

I think most of Eve is silly, but I like how it is...again, most of it.

Hookbill was always as Hookbill, same as others in class - Comet, Slicer, Firetail. I don't think anyone bother to pronounce the whole name of these ships. And those are very well known.

So why to bother if it's State Navy or Caldari Navy?!

Why do i even read that shite and responded here?!

Renaming the entire navy of a faction, it's corporation, stations, LP store and every single faction item and ship is kind of a lot more effort than you just accepting that it's called the Caldari Navy and has been for twelve years...
