Lumireaver Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) The "elite" designation doesn't really suit the Corpus as well as it does the Grineer. (Though It doesn't really not fit either...) In the IT field more qualified individuals are usually assigned a higher tier. Therefore, I believe that instead of "Elite Crewman," "Tier 2/3 Crewmen" would be a more fitting name. (Or some other name.) Names suggested in this topic: Corpus X: Corpus Accountant Corpus Administrator Corpus Assistant Corpus Associate Corpus Auditor Corpus Consultant Corpus Councillor Corpus Lieutenant Corpus Manager Corpus Marine Corpus Mechanic Corpus Officer Corpus Representative Corpus Security Corpus Supervisor Corpus Welder X Crewman: Tier X Crewman Flux Crewman Other: Accounts Receivable Corpus Anti-Piracy Specialist Counter Piracy Officer Security Specialist Ship Protection Officer George Edited August 12, 2013 by Lumireaver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumireaver Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Lol no. Eh, we don't know a whole lot about their society, but they seem less hierarchical than the Grineer. Why not? How about Crewmen Supervisor or something? That works too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to nip the Elite Enemy thing before we have Elite Infested and Elite Corrupted. Calling them Corpus Supervisors, or Georges helps them stand out.

Kahruvel Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Corpus Marines. Now, hear me out... IRL, naval crewmen are not top-of-the-line infantrymen. They are each trained in combat, but not as rigorously as infantry. Most naval forces have infantry specifically trained to repel boarding parties. This technical term for this role in most militaries is "marine". For the Corpus, trade comes first. This makes their ships extremely important to them, but they usually let their proxies do their fighting. Their standard crewmen are there to make the ship work properly. They can fight, but they aren't specialized in fighting. A marine is. The Grineer are already called "marines" collectively, and this is because the term "marine" is technically correct here as well. But every Grineer soldier and worker is trained for combat, regardless of their role on a ship. This is displayed in the concept art; all Grineer miners and laborers are armed to the teeth. There is no difference between a Grineer laborer and a soldier. Edited August 12, 2013 by Kahruvel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CannibalSanta Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I agree IMO Corpus Security fits their lore as merchants the best. Just some other random names but these seem more military which should be reserved to the Grineer: Corpus Lieutenant Corpus Officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakkenKall Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Security Specialist, Ship Protection Officer Anti-Piracy Specialist Counter Piracy Officer lol ironically enough these are all fancy euphemisms for the naval security team guys Ive worked with. They like fancy titles, and I see corpus as the same way. they are the evolution of the private sector. Many major shipping firms hire security teams now, I see no reason why we cant have some combat oriented corpus IE equipment better suited to repel a boarding team (READ THAT AS A HELMET THAT YOU CAN TURN YOUR HEAD IN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure_Kytia Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) What we should do, is get a random list of names out of a hat: Whack 'em all in a String array: Marcel Carroll Wyatt Irvin Russel Luis Ike Denny Coy Mitchell Antony Ward Lester Thurman Lucio Hugh Terrance Eliseo Chas Josh on Generation of an enemy namegeneratoretceterablahblahblah = Math.Random()*<numberOfMaleNames> -1; switch (namegeneratoretceterablahblahblah) case 0: namesuffix = malename[0]; break; ... case 19: namesuffix = malename[19]; break; default: namesuffix = "Bob"; break; fullname = "Supervisor " + namesuffix; return fullname; Edited August 12, 2013 by Azure_Kyte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put them in a Map structure so you don't need to do the switch statement add in a snippet of code that will take the number of items in the map/database/config file to get your max number And there you have a name generator that can last for a while no matter how many times you add/edit/delete a name.
