joeygray Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Is it just me, or do a few of the names in Warframe seem to come from EVE? Hek, Kestrel, Galatine. I know Im forgetting some. What are the names youve encountered that my list missed? Not calling them out or trying to accuse them of biting. It would be interesting to know if any of the devs play. If they do I just hope to god none of them are part of Goon Swarm; or have anything to do with the CFC in general.

HelixNL Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 The Hek comes from the boss Vay Hek. The Kestrel is a sort of predatory bird that can hover. In the Arthurian Legends, Galatine is the name of the sword given to Sir Gawain by the lady of the lake. It is referred to as 'shadow to excalibu`s light. They may be EVE fans or they are just really thinking about giving suitable names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnat6 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I think that those names are just derived from a common source although when DE was first describing the dark sector conflicts they did say something about trying to bring a little EVE into warframe so its highly likely that some of them do play EVE.

I had no idea galatine was from english folk lore. thats interesting to know, thank you for that. I knew kestrel was a bird because a player race in EVE has a theme of like 99% of their ships are named after raptors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weapon is named after the boss. He used to use it and uses a modified version of it in his new form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
