Plus, it just makes your navy seem more organized and professional (not to mention cool )


Praetor, you join myself and Tampa Gamer as the archetypal military history nuts - I do exactly the same as yourself. I havn't played against humans yet but really dont see how sight of something called "FNS Agamemnon - BC nike class" is really going to help them much. Actually, I do designate my vessels with code if they are specialised eg CLE escort cruiser, CLX heavy weapons cruiser CLA assault cruiser (ie beam heavy) that sort of thing - I may have to stop doing that
