You may or may not have noticed, but after the "We can say..." I quoted from him he wasn't talking about ship names anymore, instead started brainstorming about possible IMG origins while the faction has it's own lore already. That happened like three posts above yours.
EDIT: Furthermore it also doesn't really require a lot of detective skills to notice that ships under the 'DISCOVERY' folder aren't sorted by nationalities, rather by ship types in a few cases, but mostly by players/community members. Turkish was one of them too.
And old ship names don't usually change for practical reasons, for example simply looking into the 'battleships' folder you can find names like "bsgalactica", "corona", "procurator", "recusant", "venator".
Yeah but I DID mention that I saw an NPC in rheinland with turkish names? The other ones were theories, about folder and stuff, but what I said at first is what I saw with my own eyes, real proof. Also long ago there was also something inside the Tiger Shark Article, mentioning a turkish pilot using a certain setup which works well with this ship, however. Later on it got removed by someone...
