Some suggestions for the new Force Auxiliary racial ship class names:


KHEIRON - Gallente

VALKYRIE - Minmatar

KANNON - Caldari

PANACEA - Amarr



All names are rooted in mythology established with previous development naming conventions.

In all honesty the name Force Auxiliary is bad, because it's hard to turn into a snappy acronym - we already have F.A. and no one wants to be associated with that Blink

If you were to add an additional name to the class it would make it much more palatable, like C.R.V. "Capital Repair Vessel" or C.L.S. Capital Logistics Ship, or something of the like - what it should be, I honestly don't know and am not the one to say (though something like Pantheon for the class seems kinda cool).

Either way it would be cool for Force Auxiliaries to have a modified name so they become the first class in EVE that uses an acronym for their official name.

Caldari - Caladrius - According to Wikipedia: "Roman mythology, is a snow-white bird that lives in kings' houses. Supposedly, the bird refuses to look at any patient who is not going to make a full recovery. Caladrius existed in the Greek mythology under the name Dhalion. It is said to also be able to take the sickness into itself and then fly away, dispersing the sickness and healing both itself and the sick person." Dhalion would work too, and doesn't sound so close to Caldari.

Amarr - Cleric I would have preferred Paladin, but it is already taken. Clerics at least in standard roleplaying are heavily armored healers, so it fits perfectly.


No idea for Gallente or Minmatar. Valkyrie would be awesome if we didn't already have a Minmatar drone with that name. Maybe rename the drone to steal the name?

Caldari- Wrasse, some species of wrasse live in "cleaning stations" where they wait for sick and injured fish, they then clean parasites and dead flesh from their bodies, providing them food.

Amarr- Sheikh, an arabic honorific, translated as "Elder" or "Teacher"

Gallente: Apollo, regarded as a healer as well as the bringer an reliever of plagues in Greek mythos.

Chiron: A Centaur; Though he was immortal, it is said that he invented medicine in order to heal himself after being wounded by hercules

Achilles: Mainly because I would love to call "Your primary is the Achilles of D.A......" It was said he was taught by Chiron the ways of healing.


Minmatar: Idunn, also known as the "Redeemer" she is the goddess of youth and health, which she bestows on the gods with her apples of immortality kept in a wooden box.

If we are sticking to the lore. I am not sure minmatar would get any reps. After all if you never bothered finishing the ship in the yard why would you repair it in space.

On a more serious note. Yea better class name is needed. Naglfar.. made from the nails of the dead. That is the coolest ship name right there. So a repping cap ship should be equally cool. But right now just a better name for the class of ship.

But i got nothing.

AKA the scientist.

Death and Glory!

Well fun is also good.

I like this a lot more than taking the name of a drone like the OP suggested.

That's Amarr. Neither the Archon or the Aeon are finished. P

When I woke up this morning the though dawned on me....

Rename the entire Force Auxiliary class to: EON

... in honor of the former EON Magazine. The name is a proper noun, is easy to say, is easily pluralized (which is great for communicating in spoken or written language). I thought it was a pretty cool homage to a retired piece of the EVE Meta

Haven't thought about actual ship names, but I have a suggestion for the ship class name that I believe sounds better than Force Auxiliary: Capital Projection Ships (or just "Projection Ships").

Workarounds are not bugfixes.

What's wrong with Force Auxiliary anyway?

Only change I'd support would be to make it Fleet Auxiliary instead.

Amarr are routed in somewhat Christian faith, not Muslim faith. Furthermore, they are not elders or teachers, they are healers.

With regards to the initial naming suggestion for the Amarr FA: I do not want to sit in a Pancake. Thanks. Dragoon is already bad enough.

@Danika
The Aeon is very much a finished ship. You just need to stop thinking in these limited capsuleer combat tactics and it will dawn to you how really capable fleet commanders use the Aeon.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

Rapha amarr god of healing (christian)
Asclepius galente also god of healing (greco roman)
Ruamano caldari mythical creature with healing powers (maori and no caldari ships are not only birds)
Eir minmatar Goddess of healing (norse god)

seems to fit the lore

*Ed sorry, m*a*s*h joke.

A decent role call of healing godesses:

Eir,from the Norse, goddess of medical skill
Heka, from the Egyptians, goddess protection healing and support
Panacea from the Greeks, goddess of healing
Iaso also from the Greeks, goddess of cures and healing methods
