Yes and Aura should say all the names!

In fact make an option so that Aura says " Entering system-name" whenever you jump. Just make it so you can turn it off when it gets old after an hour.


You are now entering Ainalle... Shocked

Look into my eyes...   and tighten that sphincter, kid.

System names are one of my favourite things in the EVE world, in some regions they sound very real and distinct.
I also think some Caldari names have been more than little influenced by the Finnish language :)

Alentene, "Allen Ten" as I pronounce it, always reminds me of a Billy Joel song Lol

Iges ... pronounced "I guess"

Nuken "Nukin´" is a good one

It is strange for systems like Torvi and Mies, since as a Finn you would expect them to be pronounced like the actual finnish words. (translated "Horn" and "Man")

And while a little offtopic, I'll never forgive CCP for changing the NPC agent called "Olen Tukka" to be not bald anymore. After all it literally means "I am the hair" in finnish.

Yes. I shall run for CSM with my only goal to change the agent back bald.

Listen closely, practice the Icelandic intonations - then voilà!

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

We just need one guy to extract them from the data dump from CCP. As I have no idea how to do that we'll need someone else to do it.

Lets summon chribba I bet he can help out here.

Your move Chuckles.


This list is incomplete. I'd need a complete list to fulfill the request. Challenge still stands.



if you know the list is incomplete, then you must have the complete list already Cool.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia
