pyra: Crowned Tyrant.
thought it was a fitting name for a ramming ship

squid: Kaiser.
Basicly Emperor or Caesar however you want the origin to be, its german and I speak a little bit of it.

Spire: Gull of Glowwater.
used to be called carpet salesman when i was fucking around on it. Changed it to fit the ingame lore.

Mobula: Aesir.
Name of the main Gods in northern folklore (Thor, Odin etc.).

Goldfish: Jaetten.
Also northern folklore, Jaette is translated Giant therefore the Giant.

Junker: Fedaykin.
Frank Herberts - Dune reference.

I've fought the Greasy Dream.  Formidable Squid, Keb.  Formidable indeed.

Pyramidion: Sky Slicer. Named after the brand of propellers from the Disney film Planes.
Galleon: Cealum Lumbus. A rough translation of Sky Slicer. (though its closer to sky chopper.)
Spire: Pitchfork. Named after my clan mate Pitchipsy after the many victories we achieved with the glass cannon.
Goldfish: Bumble Beee. Named after the great Beee from my clan, and the first ship I named after a clan mate.
Junker: Silverst Sentinal. Named after my friend and mentor Silverst, if you are unaware of his love for the ship just ask him to about the Junker. :)
Mobula: Blak is Blak. Named after my long time friend who joined guns shortly after me from our time in Life is Fuedal, the ship name also references a great band. ;)
Squid: Shadows Byte. Named after another trading trooper ShadowByte, who while very early on in his career was shooting a Gatling with heavy greased and heat sink with perfect ammo changes, and has met every challangen of gun I've put ahead of him since.

I have so many other clan mates and friends I want to name ships after but not enough ships!!!

I remember you crewing on a ship across our team on Anglean Raiders, but I kind of sucked hard on that one when I tried to pull off a gat-mortar with squid. I'm not sure if I've played against you anywhere else at all, but I must've.



And thanks for that! Even though I sometimes forget to switch off moonshine and that results in me swinging full back and forth with it just to keep decent arcs and positioning on something like, a galleon. Oh, I also ram galleons with it. Not even intentionally, it's quite a loose ship.


Sadly I can't flatter you back as It's hard for me to notice you at all when you're crewing anywhere outside of my ship. Though I'll add you sometime by this evening or tomorrow, we could get some matches going together. /salute

Yeah, ship full of Bardlings.

I'm not the best player in any class, but I get by.  I'd be glad to fly with you, yeah.  I'm a little bit busy tonight, but tomorrow might work.  Agreed on every aspect of the Squid except Moonshine.  I may be liberal with it, but that doesn't mean I forget to turn it off.  Did that once on a Pyra...  That was no fun.

When you don't have an exam: play Guns of Icarus.

When exam is tomorrow: play Guns of Icarus nervously.

After the exam: play Guns of Icarus to drown (or blend) your sorrows.

Blending on Fjords, water hazard, or Firnfeld IS drowning.

Lets not talk about Raid.
Raid is a cruel mistress- her achievements have broken the hearts and souls of even the most experienced crewmen.
Raid deserves to be left out.

I remember a dev match on raid... All good pilots.. An even match that looked like it would last eternity.. So the devs claimed their fingers and rained down chaos upon the unprepared ships! A giant lightning storm which caused havoc among all! Lightning flashes causing damage and fear among all crew and pilots shortening the match dramatically!...
