[Class Abbreviations]

This isn't a big deal, but it's something I've noticed since the very beginning - Most people unnecessarily complicate class abreviations with additional letters.

But there are a few people out there that get this right and are holding out.

 

What is the purpose of class abreviations? To quickly and concisely convey a single message. The race and class of the subject.

in that spirit, why would I convolute it with additional letters?

 

There is only one of each of these. TW, TT, TE, PW, PT, PE, JW, JT, JE.

 

Terran Enforcer = TW
Terran Trader = TT
Terran Scout = TE
Jenquai Defender = JW
Jenquai Explorer = JE
Jenquai Seeker = JT
Progen Warrior = PW
Progen Sentinel = PE
Progen Privateer = PT

 

A letter for each race, and a letter for each profession.

 

A gloriously simple naming convention that quickly communicates race and class of 9 possible variatiions with only 6 characters.

The very spirit of efficiency and annotation!

[How many played]

I was there, on one last hunt in Antares and I saw the disconnect message.

 

To this day I have still not bought an EA game.

Also wouldn't let me vote.

 

Played on Galileo from launch to sunset. Member of Indomitable under the leadership of Cabernet, with my good friends Monsoon, Fubu, Winxp and other whose names escape me after 10 years.

 

I have seen a couple of them still around!

 

Long Live EnB, let's get the word out there, baby!
