Alright. I PvP a lot. (Yeah, my KB sucks cause I only fly logi.) So, I decided that I needed an IC term for PVP. Came up with CvC. Capsuleer v. Capsuleer. It's nice, simplistic and an acronym.

There was another way to put it. CvCC (capsuleer v. capsuleer combat) I was not sure if that was redundantly redundant.

To be honest, ICly, I've always just read "PvP" as "Pilot Versus Pilot".

This. RP'ly, the P for Player stands for Pilot.

Baseliners are pilots too, no?

Baseliners ship commanders are captains (or some other equivalent, in-universe term). Although it's conceivable that in a vessel as small as a destroyer or frigate the roles of captain and pilot/helmsman begin to merge, the term would likely be "reserved" for the special, unique class of pilots that capsuleers are, with other words being used in other situations. Fighter and fighter/bomber pilots might be described using an attached term ("fighter pilot", "drone pilot", etc). An analogous situation in real life would be how the term "pilot" has come to be primarily used in reference to someone who flies an aircraft, despite it having older uses in the maritime and railroad industries.

The real question is - what word starts with "E" that describes lots of non-capsuleer ships?

Well, looks like I made a horrible post. People should ignore this thread, really. OP's ******** and a s***poster. Excuse me while I go commit seppuku for my failure.
