Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

I was daydreaming on my way to work this morning. It occurred to me I know, (and can spell), more of the names on this forum than I can of people in my department. Then I thought, hmm, I could make a Ships Name File from the posters on the Star Empires Forum. Then I thought, I better check with them first.
So:
1) Would you like such a list
2) Would you like your name on it?
a. If you do not want your name on it please let me know by posting here or in a PM. I will not disclose any PMs.
3) Would you like it mandatory that if your name is used that it have a specific Classification such as: Gryphin FF (Fast Frigate)?
I acknowledge that this is an unusual idea but I just had to ask. If there is serious strong objection I will request this thread be removed.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Go ahead. Either "Fyron" or "Imperator Fyron" would be good. Your pick.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

My handle has gone back to the CB craze of the the mid 70's, back when I was a kid. Imagine flushing the toilet and watching it going round-and-round, kind of like a shark! well you get the picture, I would like my name to be a large heavily armed freighter. A base ship would work as well! LOL

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

There's always one of those people... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Is this just a name list or a Design list?

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

hmmmmm, make mine a fast, cloaked, armed, scout, either DD or Lt CA, hmm H.I.M.S. Mac5732, does sorta have a ring to it..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

just some ideas mac

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

The list is intended to be used as ship names list.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Sure! I'm in. Any ship will do.

Had something similar way back with my Red Gauntlets Merc Unit fleet. Used 'descriptive' names that reflected on some of my favorite posters as well as other names that had nothing to do with the posters.

Atrocity
Death's Stalker
God's Emperor
Heap O' Revenge
Andres Force
Damien's Star
CapN'Q's Ship O' Hurt
LCC's Response
Kodiak's Rage
People's Champion
Witherton's Raider
Shard's Intervention
Spoo's Defender,

and the like.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

I like this idea. Add me to the list!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm flattered.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

great idea! add me!
Should i list all my handles?

Empire of TechnoLogic - General Aliy
Taera Hive Imperium - Hive Emperor Klist
Illea System - Coordinator Pun Kita

TLogic(Empire), (The)Taera, Illea &lt;- other nicks

and the big Last, Trouble is my handle in every other place.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Hmmm, the minesweeper dumbluck does have an ironic ring to it.... but then again, it would be an ironic name for any combat vessel really. And that, of coarse, is practically every ship in the game.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Sounds like fun! You can add me to the list.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

But the "proper" spelling would be Cap'n Q.

Your way looks like some boy band. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea

Hmm... USS Quikngruvn? HMS Quikngruvn? POS Quikngruvn....

Nope. No matter how you slice it, it just doesn't sound intimidating. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Oh well, add me anyway, if you wish!

Quikngruvn

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Here's an idea that really appeals to my hugely inflated ego.

Don't care what type of ship I am, as long as it kicks arse.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Star Destroyer Spacefan?

Or any type of ship used for stellar manipulation stuff would fit the name best I think. Heh.

Warp Point Closer Spacefan
Spherewordler Spacefan
etc.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

To all: your egos are easily satisfied. I want to be a huge breathable research or intel planet.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Here is the initial list. I'm open to suggestions, (be nice). Please let me know what you think. You can post your thought here or emial me.
The list:

Thanks folks.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

chewy = large mine

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

"DD Phoenix-D"

*groan*

I guess I should have expected it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Phoenix-D

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

I think it is quite clear that mine should be a Kamikaze design type, and that the size of the hull is more or less irrelevant http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Gryphin:
Umm... the lines for Mac and Mudshark appear to be intermingled to me.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Suicide Junkie Done
chewy, Done, (the best I could). I'm open to suggestions.
Imperator Fyron mac and Mudshark intermingled? are you trying to start rumors? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Phoenix D, I admit is was beneath me. I'll come up with something. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Actually out of mine you can get two names

Tr-Tesco Trawler, ( Transport,barge)
SC-Samoa -Scout

Then there is the UMNW-SC-Samoa
Unmaned No Weapons Scout Class Samoa Ships ( Escort up to Frigate Class Size)

Or

LC- TescoSamoa Class Cruisers

SSYD-TescoSamoa
(Where SS is Space Station not anything else and YD is Yard)

500kt is a nice size... And I will be used early in the game.... Ha Ha Ha

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

But PT-Tesco Samoa is nice

Also I see you changed your site...

I hope the picture of the modified computer comes back http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Gryphin:
Of course not. Now, it is doing the same thing with Gandalph and Tesco Samoa. I'm gonna have me a look at your html.

Edit:
Wait a minute, now it's not doing it! What is going on?

Wow, that html is confusing looking. I've never seen an Excel doc transmuted into html before. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Oh yeah, wtf is FF?

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Fast Frigate.

It may be the Warships that get all the glory, but can any of them stop a level 3 Plague?

*Puts out nose and face and stands up high*

Never Fear! MedFrigate TerranC is Here!

Btw, can I have a second one:

Spaceyard Ship TerranC

The Underdogs of SE4

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

I'd like to be included. A nodachi is a japanese great sword. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Nodachi

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Obvious for me, a WeapPlat : "Planetary Defense Force" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

TerranC, Do we insert the tune from Wonder Dog here?

Imperator Fyron , FF = Fast Frigate (I made some changes to it) Are you reallly seeing unexpected results?
What browser are you using. I can change to front page.

Nodachi You are done, I hope you like it.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Slicer Class BattleCrusier Nodachi - I love it!
Now if only I could play well enough to live up to it! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Nodachi

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Nodachi :
Failure is not an option:
You succeed or,
it is: "The Box With the Blade" in front of the temple.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

How about the United Galaxy Sanitation Patrol ship Geoschmo 0001?

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Geoschmo,
Done,
Anybody know what the max length of a name is or how many spaces you can use?

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think it's 255, but anything after about 20 or so and the other players can't see the rest of the name. Kind of frustrating actually. I played against a guy once who liked to do that. All his ships names had like 40 letters, and all but the Last 5 were the same, so I couldn't tell what kind of a ship it was.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

"so I couldn't tell what kind of a ship it was."
So, it is a good way to disguise your ship types?
Nice trick.

Re: Forum Posters Ship Names List idea
 

Yes, but be careful who you use that against. There are those that would consider that a bit unsporting.
