Nitpicking point
Banshee Fighter Destroyer Cloak
This is not a 'banshee' it is a pulsar, as small class xan ships targetting DE should be called and were called for a very long time.

Re: Nitpicking point
While we're at nit-picking, can we rename the "vendor" to "cheap beetle copy"?

Re: Nitpicking point
lokken,
Stop living in the past. Change is good. Embrace it.
Heartless,
No, although I am trying to get the names of the Eitraides changed to something more cute.

Re: Nitpicking point
That is a possibility, Makhil, and I do like the idea of blade names.

Useful change is good. Pointless change is exactly that - pointless.

Re: Nitpicking point
I like the name of the Eitraides structure killer, I'll be sad if it gets changed :/

I agree wholeheartedly, FI>DE should be Pulsar.
Other nitpicky points:
Tzen
Nightmare Frigate Fighter Cloak
Brigand
Corsair Frigate Fighter Norm
And I always thought of Dragon to be the big brother to Wyvern, maybe the Dragon should kill bigger/capital ships, whereas the Wyvern historically targeted FR/DE (mostly) :
Wyvern Battleship Cruiser Norm
Dragon Battleship Destroyer Norm
On the other side of the coin:
I like the new Etd names:
Tycoon / Ranger / Vagabond / Voyager
And lastly - I always always whine about this:
but...
Cutter
Corsair
Cutlass
Clipper
Too many 'c' names for one race. It's annoying
how about these instead (for a couple of them):
Pillager / Brigand / Swindler

The only reason these things get changed is to make it appear that the stats change radically, but they haven't when a low class xan ship that fires on DE remains just that. It is a pulsar, as it was originally called.
As furball says, the name change is entirely pointless. If it looks like a pulsar, quacks like a pulsar, surely then we should call it a pulsar.

That is quite clearly a Cutter.

This isn't really correct. The only reason it was changed was that Gate and others preferred the 'undead' nomenclature to Spinner's old 'bizarro alien' nomenclature the round he made stats.

Well Gate is then just wrong wrong wrong.
Because it's still a pulsar.
Yes, i'm feeling belligerent today.
