Ship crews either spend most of their journey in their escape pods, and are awoken with adrenaline only as needed?(Source: The Burning Life novel by CCP Abraxas.) or live aboard ship much like ship's crews today? (Source)

Ghost dogs was taken, as was a few others I had my eyes on.

I've ended up on Comb the Cat, it was a 17th and 18th century Naval term referring to the act of cleaning the cat of nine tails after each stroke of a flogging for punishment. the ticker is 9tail

Now my question only lies with myself, did I make the right decision on a corp name...

My other short list was

Black spots - a black spot was given to a pirate commander when the crew no longer had confidence in him (actually fictional, but hey)

Davy's Grip - Similar to in deaths hand, or in the grip of death (I thought this was good but it was disqualified because Davy jones doubtfully made it to space.

So what does everyone think? Should I change my corp name? or does Comb the cat work? (As you can tell i am indecisive on the name >.<)

I obviously spent too long in Reawakened Technologies, but that really wasn't what I was thinking about when I heard "Comb the cat" for the first time...

It's many many meanings are one of the reasons why it is so attractive, plus think all the cat and kitty pictures I can use for signatures and Forumz and killboards  :wut:
