Could you fanboys suck Chribba's **** any harder? You make me sick. Honestly we attacked his station in 9UY4-H in November hoping that at least some of you sycophantic nerds would turn up to defend him, but you didn't. If you really liked Chribba you'd back it up with action, not just gush on the forums about him.

Last time it was 9UY4-H, next time it'll be HED-GP.


WAAAAAAHHH!

Are you done crying yet?

No?

WAAAAAAAHH!

Keep up the good work, your Reddit overlords would be mighty proud.

Apparently it wasn't clear. Hence your need to clarify.

Name it sort of like him, but not directly. No one would want to fly a Chribba, but everyone wants to fly a Chibe (with a strong E sound at the end, like a latino trying to say "Chevy").

No. I like the guy, but it's just a horrible idea. It breaks immersion and reeks of favoritism. Just because in this case some would approve of that favoritism doesn't mean it's good even for them. Others would certainly protest and some would get a ruptured cerebral aneurysm from seeing the Mittani put on the market. We're all simply better off if CCP never takes a single step down that road.


I disagree. Chribba has created immeasurable value to thousands of capsuleers for nearly a decade. It would be a great disservice if CCP does not honor his contribution. Naming a mining frigate after his name is the least CCP could do. After all, even a no-name like me got a site named after me. Chribba deserves better.

I don't think so.

USS John F. Kennedy, HMS King George V, the IAV Stryker, M1 Abrams, M48 Patton, etc.

It's perfectly normal human nature to name these sorts of things after people.

It's a honorary namesake after they've passed away. In this case, Chribba is still around and (hopefully) well.

It could ironically be named 'Veldnought' after the hallowed mining vessel

Best name for the new ship.
But if not the ORE G.A.S.M then something after Chribba seems like a good idea.

Why don't we just name it "Mittens"?

Comparing the Mittani to Chribba is equivalent to comparing Judas Iscariot to Jesus. Why would any game developer name a ship after a failed CSM Chair who brought negative publicity to EVE Online?

On the other hand, Chribba's contribution is tangible.

+1

And while I think the Jesus and Judas example is going a bit far, there is a clear difference in the levels of respect given to the two players by the community at large. I don't think Mittens is bad, I actually think he's very good for the game in a lot of ways.

But he's in a totally different league to Chribba. Both in terms of contribution to the game and the esteem he is held in by players.
I don't think anyone would say Mittens is generally out to make Eve a better place for everyone. Though perhaps he's out to make Eve a more interesting place for everyone.

It was a troll post. I have no love for either players, but naming a ship after anyone not part of the actual lore of the game is an offensive and immersion breaking idea.

No, it's an honorary namesake.

Ronald Reagan was very much alive when they named an aircraft carrier after him. Likewise with George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter. Likewise George V enjoyed 25 years of life after a dreadnought bearing his name was commissioned.

I think you're badly mistaking the practice of putting portraits of dead men on US banknotes and coins with ship christening. Ships are quite often launched with the names of those who are still alive.

Whether someone is dead or alive has absolutely nothing to do with ship christening. Not sure how anybody latched onto that extremely bizarre idea.

Guess a whole lot of people aren't "vet" enough to know that the destroyer Eris was named after a player (who later became a Dev) - CCP Eris Discordia.

Her symbol was a pink catalyst destroyer (then pink titan after they were introduced):) Think it was the Red Moon Rising expansion, which also introduced Hulks. About a year after that, she became a dev. She was to the community then what Chribba is now (not that he was exactly unknown then either).

I still want all my gallente ships to be pink:)

It could be Veldnaught, but maybe Chribba himself could come up with a name that sounds like it ought to belong to ORE.

After all, Veld is the littlest asteroid that could- the most common of all ores. (yes, I know the roids are actually huge). Frigates are the littlest and most common ships that could. It's workable.

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse [lady of commercial virtue]. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.- James Nicoll

Chribba is rather famous in the realm of mining (and especially with the Veldatar and Veldnaught).

I never took Mittani to be a miner. And if he is, it's unknown to the entire EVE community. His fame/notoriety lies elsewhere entirely.

Ah, I apologize from my lack of knowledge for the matter then. Thank you.

Hmm - why not..

They named large collidable objects after me - and I've done less for eve...

Otoh, the name Chribba sounds quite terrible - like an awkward female lesbian shrimp starring in sponge-bob or something...
