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.

as long as we can fly it while listening to some Wyld Stallyns.





Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Why not, indeed.

Space worm.

Once upon a time the Golem had a Raven hull and it looked good. Then it transformed into a plataduck. The end.

No... this is a worm. Shocked


You're both completely wrong of course.

It'd certainly fit better with the lizard theme of the Gurista's line.

Well, this is CCP we are talking about... so its probably more fitting for them if its Worm.

Any more hands up for the Wyrm?

Please, help save this poor, underappreciated vessel from this tragic misnomer and throw your support in for a respell.

Maybe I should just try to derail the thread .........

No. :)

Could have been worded more effectively though, to spark more interest. (:

Words are annoying. I just went straight for the tl;dr approach.

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.

And this ist what you get when you encounter a fleet of worm pilots.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

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

It looks like spam.

I'm hungry.
