The whole Caldari "bird" thing goes out the window with the Scorpion...............


Caldari use a lot of birds, sure. But to be honest they mostly just use animal names, including mythical and extinct ones. The only exceptions to that rule I can think of are the Obelisk, the Ferox (latin word for Ferocious, but also a common prenom for some kinds of fish, so possibly not an exception), the Onyx, the Charon (which is a god) and the Rohk (Which seems to be the only ship that's name doesn't mean anything at all). The Kitsune by the way, is the Japanese word for Fox.



rokh is the westernized version of the persian word for chariot. the chess term rook is derived from rokh


No its the westernized version of the persian word for what we know as Roc - giant mythical bird of prey. Damn those pesky persians and thier multi use words.

The Rokh is just ccp showing off by having the birds naming line and the mythical creature naming line merge into one (same with drake which was released at the same time and is both a duck and a dragon).


ah yes i was unaware of that usage. thank you

Most of the Drakes I've used over the years have been named 'Mallard' ;)

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

I just googled "awareness" and somehow found this:

It's a pterodactyl paraglider with lazors!..

Now that I know that stuff like this exists, I desperately want one, too.

Also birds, obviously.


I too would like to harness the awesome power of dinosaurs.

In hindsight my post should have had more psssshhhh

Crap. I wish I hadn't posted in this thread now.

It's not as bad as some recent GD threads to be fair. Lol

Oh and if anyone doesn't know, then obviously it's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.


Love that meme.


BTW, if I had those, I'd stare at them all the time too. :P

It's more like a dragon and a duck had little 'drakelings'.
