Default Re: O, or is it 0? Bug or not?

I am a big fan of the Starfire books and in particular the Bug War. I really do wish it were possible that you name the ships you encounter instead of the owner giving them names. The Arachnids in the Bug War never communicated with the good guys, and aren't of the frame of mind to bother giving names to their ships anyway. The allies end up just naming bug ships stuff like "Antelope", "Antelope-B". Sort of like how NATO gives arbitrary names to Russian aircraft that has nothing to do with their russian name. Did you know there is a Russian fighter called the Platypus, which considering it's nose makes sense, but NATO just uses a word starting with F, as usual.
