Would you have called your CO "Loco" or "Lola"? 

To their face?

Are there better nicknames for Shepard?

Nope but if i ever get drafted ill call them that then shoot space magic at them

[Ville L]

I thought Vega and Shepard were old friends.

[sky99cap]

Forgot about the space magic!

It depends on how close you are with them and who is around. If it's just you two and you are close then why not?

Screwdriver. My captain always carried a screwdriver to fix something. He liked to have everything fixed. He always checked a chair before sitting on it.)

To be fair Shepard is very well known.. and yes I  think shepard has done some things we would call crazy. If my CO was very well known and has done some thing similar to shepard ( which I doubt ) I'd call him Loco, and for the record it's not Lola it's Loca

ahh, thanks for the clarification, I only speak english and binary

I think what irked me, in a really miniscule kind of way anyway, was that you couldn't tell Ash (or Kaiden) to just shut the hell up. It's your show and they're your subordinates, and I found it aggravating when I had to stop every few minutes to play to their ignorance. I picked to reprimand Vega when he called my femshep lola. To answer your question though, no, I would never call an officer a pet name to their face. "Sir," or "Ma'am," suffices and is professional. Though, it is something akin to the end of the world, so I suppose formalities get chucked out the window for stuff like that.

[Mandalore313]

No.

But then again I'm the equivalent of a turian regarding these things (stick up my ass etc)

[sirstikay69]

Depends on the circumstances, but then again my CO and I have a decent relationship. In a typical unit, **** no.

I told him to never do it.   At least that was an option.

Also, it was just laziness to have it be Loco and Lola... at least loco is funny, lola makes no sense and is just insulting.

This is a sci fi military. It has much to do with real military as Star Trek or Star Wars.

[Gterror2]

CO would probably drag my ass to the "hole", where i would be the rest of my service.

but to these people Mass Effect is real though

[tomcplotts]

DId 10 years in the Army, and Mr. Vega would have been a private in a real hurry pulling that crap. But then again, almost everyone on that tub has apparently no previous military training whatsoever. Military protocol was never a strong point in this series.

[Seryndras]

Draft service in the German Fed. Defense Force, and if I would have called my superior anything but "Jawohl, Herr Leutnant!" I would still be cleaning the mess hall with my toothbrush I guess.

[sky99cap]

It was always Skipper, or Captain, especially when things were going south in a hurry.

And who called Capt Kirk, anything but Capt? Besides maybe Spock or Bones?

I wonder if Bioware used "Lola" as a reference to the fact that a lot of people who play femshep are guys? You know, because of that old song by the Kinks: 

"Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola"

[Aiyie]

i called both my skippers several things... never to their face though.  sir, or captain and nothing else.

i did some stupid stuff while i was in... but noooo, never was that dumb.

we pulled into lamad, italy once... i was getting hammered at some local bar and our skipper came by.  had a few shots with us (very cool of him, since normally enlisted and officers do NOT mingle... hell, surface ships had specific hallways on the ship where enlisted guys weren't even allowed to walk without permission).

still wasn't stupid enough to ever give him the impression i thought we were on the same level.  that sort of thing comes back to haunt you.
