Ramona, that's fine. I couldn't see the wings or teeth in the second link at first either, had to look a few times to be honest.


Why not just call it the Chironex; stupid looking, boring to talk to, and archaic but hyper deadly


It's such a minor non-gamechanging alteration that I honestly didn't expect a lot of resistance. It doesn't bother me one way or the other, I'd love the ship if it was called Poopy-mcpoppybreath. However, given how well the rest of the ships are named in the game, I felt this might be an acceptable endeavour that could garner support from the player base.

I don't see Wyrm a fitting name for a frigate

I would just like to see names changed to reflect their popular in-game pronunciation...

Skimitar
Chairon
Annatheema

...and so on.

Guristas ships (like Rattlesnake, Gila) seem to be based off of creepy crawly ground creatures. Wyrm would not be as fitting.

But that's the real-world pronunciation. We'd have to change it to the Geela to reflect the in-game one.

True, but a worm is prey. A wyrm is a predator.

The Worm is a fearsome ship. I solo'd in one prior to the rebalance, loved it, and I'm using a rebalanced one now. It really is a fantastic PVP platform. However.... it's name is not incredibly becoming.

This is a worm.

This, on the other hand, is a wyrm.

All in favour of a spelling change from Worm to Wyrm to correctly reflect the nature of the ship, say aye, raise your hands, or just generally do your thing.

Yeah.. im sure CCP Rozzie would appreciate changing a certain cruiser's name to Exqworierororor....

Wyrm or Wurm, either would be awesome.

Because the Legacy Code has too much Psssssssssssssssh, nothing will ever get fixed until CCP stop wasting money on failed sparkle MMOs and instead rewrite the entire backend of EvE from scratch.

Wow. Sea creatures beat Freddy, Jason, Chucky, Jack Torrance, Jaws, Pinhead, etc. by far. OK, Jaws is a sea creature. But not a very weird one.
