/r/eve is leaking, CCP! better call someone to fix it!

also it should totally be named "Tit". scouts will be able to shout "There's **** on d-scan!"


Don't worry, you will still get flocked by a bunch of jackdawfs.

Razorbill would be ok name, and they are an Icelandic bird too.

Still waiting for a Caldari ship to be bestowed the name of Kiwi, Pigeon, Dodo, Turkey, Swallow, Goose, Finch, Dove, Flamingo, or anything else along those lines.

CCP needs to read this thread and see the good alternatives to that ridiculous name they picked already.

I vote CALDARI VIPER, or CALDARI ALBATROSS

And on the topic of the thread, I like the name. If it were only for the reason that it gives me the opportunity to kill*) the namesake of the flocks of little buggers that keep pestering our backyard in the summer. Irl, I do not like Jackdaws....Evil

Fair enough, I can see why the name is appropriate to someBlink Where I live it is Magpies or Crows that drive ppl crazy.

Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.
So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

Oohboy, the name is seriously underwhelming.

Couldn't you have called it the SHRIKE, or TERCEL, or even the Peregrine?

Lookout, its muh Jackdaw...Roll


Edit: After looking at the photo posted in the other thread on the new ships, I think of STORK


TL:DR
Suggested names in this thread:

Kingfisher
Dickcissel
Blackcock
Drongo
Warbler
Barbet
Lark
Skua (aka Jaeger)
Seagull (honorary)
Strix

Snipe
Corvus
Magpie
Peacock
Bluetit
Dvergkráka
Shag
Tit
Grackle
KILLDOZER!!! (must be allcaps and have exclamations)
Petrel
Jackdaw (for Ezwal, and others who still like the name)


Jackdaw was the name of the ship in Assassin's Creed IV. I'd love nothing more than to change the name.

Besides, why would the Caldari name their ships for fluffy birds? Hardly something to strike fear into the hears of others. The Amarr, I get... all religious. But... birds? And not even birds of prey?

Chew doesn't come in tins. That is dip or snuff.
