Any words you guys wrote here is correct.
i am from germany i can proove it

for example you wrote:

"holen katze"
but it must be "Höllen Katze" ("ö" = oe)

or
"Holle-Zorn" --> "Höllen-Zorn" (Ö = oe)

"Todwunsch" --> "Todeswunsch"

"ubelgeist" --> "Übelgeist" (ü = ue) [but i never heard of this word

"Drahken" or "Drake" ---> "Drache"

"Höllhund" --> Höllenhund"

all of you always forget to write the last part of a word , or you write it is spoken in english


My words are:
[english
"Gore"
"Brutality"
"Hitman"
"Mantikor"
"immortal"

[german
"Oberst" (is a high grade in the army
"Bestie" (means Beast)
"Seelen-Räuber" / "Seelen-Jäger" (Means Soul-Thief /Soul-Hunter)
"Feuerriese" (means Fire-giant)
"Fluch" (don´t know the english word, it´s if somebody is speaking a bad spell on you)


I know there´s a limit of 5 for each,
so i wrote 5 english and 5 german names for you.
maybe this will help...
tell me about how you like the names please

How about Blitzkreig?

it must be "blitzkrieg"

but i think it´s not that good idea, because of the 2nd gulf-war atm .
it´s also a word of the 2nd world war, and nobody likes thinking of min. 6 million dead ppl killed by gas or killed by german nazi-soldiers!

or do YOU ?

I like Blitzkrieg...i think its a good name for a ship, hell...some american footy team uses that name for a tactic. Its only a word at the end of the day.

And zazel, they "blitz". Standard American and Canadian football tactic. They chopped up the word a LONG time ago. What with the sensibilities and all.

Name
Demonstar or Ifrit ( fire demon from final fantasy 8)
Stardemon sounds good too.
Dragoon,
Cobra,
Diablo,
Dragula,
Firecruise,
Why not name Mustang. It is the name of the car but it sounds good.

i noticed 3 themes in ship manes, within the game. there is an animal theme - rhino, pirannah, bloodhound, hawk, etc. also theres a "heroic action" (if you will) theme - defender, patriot, crusader, etc. the last one is what some other ppl noticed, the "mythical" theme - banshee, valkerie, titan, etc.

but theres only 1 "sword" ship tho (in FL, not WC) - the "sabre". so i was thinking something based on one of my recent D&D quest items, the "giant-slayer bastard sword of maim- and kill-all" (+7 to dex and stregnth but -1 to charisma two handed, of course). i wont waste a suggestion on it tho - i might end up being the only person who "gets" it .

so heres my entries:

"Grizly" - animal theme
"Valiant" - heroic theme
"Warlock" - mythical theme
"Vennom" - yes, 2 "n"s, got this name from RTCW, its basically a german chain gun with an amazing refire rate.
"Fokker Dr. I" - a CLASSIC WW1 plane, this is what Manfred von Richthofen flew. Richthofen was the "Red Baron". read about him here

Keep 'em coming.

Ships is nearly done. I just have to tweak hardpoint placing.

When that is done I'll start a poll and the final voting can begin.

Post Thu Apr 03, 2003 3:46 pm

Do you chose some of the names wrote in here and let the folks vote for them, or can we vote for all?

my idea: chose some (maybe 5-6) and let us vote about them!

In keeping with the theme of the Rhienland ships...

Gungnir

In Norse mythology, Gungnir is Odin's spear, obtained from the Dwarves by Loki for Odin
