New Drake concept ship poll up on RSI

Seems the Vulture is holding its 8% lead and 4 days to go.

I disagree with the naming of the Vulture based on principle that it doesn't work. A vulture is a large, predatory, scavenging bird. This is supposed to be a small 1 person craft that picks off small bits of items from ships & wrecks. I feel that it would be better to name it after a member of the Corvidae bird family. There are plenty of good options to select from in my opinion. (crows, ravens, rooks, jackdaws, jays, magpies, treepies, choughs, and nutcrackers)

I'd buy it if they called it the Magpie.

I like the idea of the vulture but i'm hoping they decide to do 2 of them

I just want the new ships to go to the back of the line

I've waited three-plus years for my Freelancer MIS to be flyable

I have no problems fully supporting this.

I would had called it “fly” or something like that, and save Vulture for a Connie or bigger ship.

Go nuts, we all know the carrier is gonna win.

I wonder how that carrier win is going? Just taking the piss lol, to be honest they will probably make all 3.

 

[BluePilote]

We wanted them all

That would also be a good name for it.

That would also be a good name for it.

The fly is always the first to find the corpse!!

(Maybe I am inventing that, lol!)

The kraken is rum... Wright?

Yah, and i have a bottle of it so its weird to think of a ship with the name of my Rum lol.

Oh dear god that's just insanely perfect.

Can we somehow petition a name change?

Still at 8 points up. Looks like we have a new entry level ship! I'm _really_ excited for this one too!

I've been waiting for this forever. Yeehaw.

They should call it the Blood Raven.

A like to the person that gets the reference.

A quick google gives me both WH40k and Game of Thrones.
Given the people on this forum, I'm gonna go ahead and assume it's a warhammer reference, specifically to the Blood Raven chapter of space marines.
"Knowledge is power, guard it well" and all that.
