Caldari already have:
Crow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvus_%28genus%29
Rook http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rook_%28bird%29
Raven http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven
They're all part of the same family, "Corvus" So it DOES fit perfectly well with their current naming scheme.

And Corax which is the latin/scientific name for Raven.

I would have to agree. The Jackdaw does not sound menacing at all.

" SHRIKE " goes along with following bird names, and sounds like a vicious menacing bird...

+1 for SHRIKE!


Well, Like most Caldari ships, it will most likely be slower than other ships in its weight class, over tanked, and have a vastly excessive focus on Kinetic Missiles, so it probably shouldn't have a menacing name.

Caldari is the black bird race. Google it up it's funny once you realise how many of them fit in.

They should just call it 'aerial antenna' and be done with it.

I'm very aware of what a Jackdaw is, as well as what they are probably referencing with the choice of name. Hint: "here's the thing. you said a jackdaw is a crow."

Jackdaw? Sorry, that's just not the right name.

Tufted Titmouse

Now THAT is a name to inspire fear. Imagine it, friends. Titmice, blocking out the sun. The thought gives one shivers, does it not?

Oohboy, the name is seriously underwhelming.

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

I think the name should reflect the ship a bit more.

Think about this - it's a ship with three modes. Almost a ship within a ship within a ship, right?

Therefore I humbly put forth this suggestion, that the Caldari T3 destroyer be named the "TURDUCKEN".

I, for one, would love to see "Turducken" popping up on my overview every once in a while.

Let's discuss overhauling the way we get intel in EvE.

Yeah will have to agree on that.

For a race that draws inspiration from various bird species, the Caldari new ship designs seem heavy on details from the insectoid kingdom.

Whats up CCP? Birds got hungry?

Jackdaw name is fine and srsly, we'll all just end up calling it a Jack which is pretty cool.

The model on the other hand, geez that's among the worst sculpts I have ever seen. How the Hell did that pass muster? Please, please, please change that.

does it matter what it's called?
i don't think so.

what about how it looks?
i like it, it's different.

if it does a good job and people fear it in the right hands,, then they can call it luckylumps for all i'd care.
it could look like a flying lemon and that wouldn't make a bit of difference to anyone who'd be flying her and loving what she can do.
if it got an updated skin that pleased more people, well that would be just a bonus now wouldn't it.
it's good to see people happy with it but wishing it looked more to their taste.
better a good working ship than a beauty that's shite.
