My Cap V Red Hessian Gunship has vanished from my accounts. Its name is What.SiЯ and I would very much appreciate having it back. If it was deleted because of its name, I'll change it. But I don't see anything in the sanction section and have received no PMs or ingame messages. Ship's just gone.
Reasons of this happening:
1.) Non latin characters in the name are deleted by admins as punishment.
2.) Ships with non latin characters are deleted by the FLHook as inactive characters because the tracker does not care about such naming conventions.

- Names should contain no swear words.
- Country of player origin must not be used in character names.
- Names with excessive use of random symbols, capital letters, numbers, symbols, leet speak, emoticons should not be used.
If you wish to create a character well-suited for role-playing on our server, you are recommended to follow these simple guidelines:
* Names should be pronounceable;
* No using numbers or symbols to replace letters;
* No use of emoticons/smileys in character names;
* No completely numeric names;
* No overuse of capital letters. (Use proper grammar, stop with the upper case letter every second character);
* Do not use gamer/leet terms in character names;
* Symbol use within a name should be kept to as minimum as possible (faction tags are usually enough).
These are the expanded Naming Convention rules, and nowhere does it state that non-Latin characters can be used, nor in the full list of rules is this mentioned; however, if FLHook has a fit over it, I'll change it to a normal R. Well, if the character is restored, that is. I'm not going to spend another 120 million buying a new ship.
Dunno if it's the reason your ship(s) were deleted, but having a character the average english-speaking user cannot type using their keyboard (excluding alt-codes) can be an issue.
