Nyx, Hel, Ark, Sin, Eos, Moa, Utu.

CCP please add some more. My memory does not allow me to remember all those complicated names.

I recommend installing one of these into your brain housing group: Memory Augmentation - Improved.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

because thron, phoon, cane, tornade (or nado), hype, Rev etc are to hard to remember?

My main problem has always been the name of the Apoc and the geddon... SInce both are "the end of times" i recogtnise them when i see them but i always need to check i'm using the right name?

my way to remember apoc is I think of it like a malformed animal cracker. It looks like that oddball one you get sometimes you aren't sure what its supposed to be....but it seems to have the start of front and rear legs.

I bet the majority of the game can remember the name of every single ship in the game by looking at its hull.

I see what you did here, cut the full names to the more easier to remember and pronounce combinations.

You're on :D

You should have enough control over your herd of cats to make them understand. If they constantly make misstakes, get better cats.

I dunno why people have such a hard time with ship names. XP

I can tell you what every ship does on a general basis. And can tell what subsystems T3 use pretty easily.


But if you are having troubles. Theres a dude who made a pretty good list of all the ships.

Lets get a Titan named "Eyjafjallajökull" after Iceland's volcano.

As its DD, lets have it launch a huge, semi-volcanic spodomain rock at its target.

Ship names are mythological names. CCP has not control over the names people used in the past. If they were to focus on just short names they'd run out pretty quick. Honestly I think it's hard enough for them just to stick with names we can easily pronounce. They could of used the same Sumerian Mythology that Utu came from but used the name like Ereshkigal. It's honestly a battle to find names that are easy to pronounce. Length of the names is trivial.
