Suggestions for shipname?

My second ship, and I can't think of a good name for it. Any suggestions?

BlackFire is a name that would fit. That is a fantastic design..Are you putting it into a mod?

The Redback Spyder

Awesome design, loks like a battleship! are you gonna make a custom cockpit?

Post Sat Feb 07, 2004 7:24 pm

not exactly sure how to make a cockpit, or i probably would (internal camera view I am assuming). I couldn't get the cmp importer to work to check one out. It crashes milkshape upon load once i copy it into its directory.

Also, if anyone knows how to scale down the pilot "Hp/Fixed/HpPilot" (if possible) please let me know

links welcome =)

the name would have to depend on the class, i would think...
light- thrush, talon, or maybe swift?
medium- gazzelle, wildcat?
heavy- star lion, shadow chaser, ?
vhf- starbolt, anvil, void hunter?
these are just names that came to mind as i looked at the ship's design, so please don't be offended if a couple of them sound goofy

What about something snazzy like oh,...Black Widow or Wombat of doom?


Ooh, Ooh,...I know! The floating red butterfly of destruction!!!
Don't take me too seriously, I never do.

Or just call it DOOM-BRINGER

It's almost,....sexy.

You haven't given up on great names like "peanut butter pudding"
or "the tapioca blight bringing winged thing"
or prhaps you'll like "The red menace"
or "the thing"
and then there's "the outlaw 109"
of course of you're going for more traditional names there's always "ole bessy"
or whatever WWII pilots called their own craft.

yet designation seems mandatory for so sleek a craft, why not something along the lines of Frigate Buster 109,..FB-109 for short.
You can always name it after my mother in law,...the BroomSwinger. LOL.
(you've never been hit by her broom so don't laugh,...it welts!)

Remember, you shouldn't always take my posts seriously because I almost never do. I've a very dry sense of humor and if it offends, I appologise in advance for not stopping till someone pukes. (and then only if it's on the carpet).

The ship has been named.... Thanks for your suggestions....

For those of you who have asked.... This Ship will be made available via FLMM, and as a Mod Addon... BUT.. wont be available until after the release of a mod currently in development. We'll get all the bugs worked out, outfit it with evil custom weapons, effects etc.... Then let you guys have at it.

Having already flown this ship, in our current Alpha version of our mod, I can tell you it flys like a dream, and packs quite an evil little punch!

Keep up the great work pokey!
