Design Names Text File

[sachmo]

This thread inspired me to create a design names text file! So instead of designing one, I stole one from a website!
Actually, this website had gathered a ton of shipnames from Iain Banks Culture series, and I just copies them and sorted them. About 15 minutes of actual work for me! You can find it in the mod forum!

Yay! I contributed!

I have posted one as well....

Cheers AK - how is the job situation by the way? how many stars have you got for deep fat frying?

I've had a couple of requests for more info, but nothing else. The job hunt is going very slow. "Do you want fries with that?" is sounding better all the time.

I've always preferred "Welcome to Wal-Mart! Carts are on the left."

Back on topic: Don't forget about the design name lists on the Gold CD (in the Extras folder). (I submitted the "composers" list )

Trajan, I personally think you should extend your range of wines to include some of the champagnes and champagne bois'

Think of how impressed all us closet sophisticates will be when you field fleets full of 'Mumms Cordon Rouge' class destroyers, 'Vivre Cliquot Ponsardin' class cruisers, 'Napa Valley Sparkling Chardonnay' class carriers launching wings of 'Syndney Old Wallamalloo Regurgitator' fighters...

Maybe we should start a race of aliens fielding 'canapes' designated ships, I can see the 'prawn vol au vent' class battlecruiser coming into view, closely followed by the 'scampi in a basket' class baseship...

Ooooh, I am trembling in fear (and getting hungry and thirsty)...

AK - there is a gay lap dancing club in north Manchester that apparently needs pole dancers? I could put your name forward if you would like

While the "I blame your mother" class destroyers open fire from the flanks, raking the enemy battle line with missile fire...
Demoralized, the enemy fleet turns to retreat, only to find that their retreat is cut off by a squadron of "Don't let the name fool you" class Light Cruisers...

LOL, Sachmo, we could take this one step forward and design an alien race that designates it's vessels after things your wife says to you..

Cue orchestral fanfare as the mighty battlefleet of the Nagan-Moan Alliance warps into normal space. Squadrons of 'Ooh, you've left the loo seat up again' destroyers sweep on the flanks, serried ranks of 'That bin wont go out on its own' light cruisers and 'Why am I the only one who unstacks the dishwasher' class cruisers form the bulk of the fleet and the mighty 'You dont appreciate me' class battlecruisers are only dwarfed by the fleet flagship, a powerful 'I should have listened to my mother' class dreadnought

Now you are getting it!
"You will tremble in fear when the "Eat your Brussel Sprouts!" Class drednoughts darken the skys over your puny world!"

Actually, the names I used were actual ship names from the Cultures series, and are in the design name file that I uploaded. Last night I was messing around with it, and more than once I laughed out loud at the names that came up. The "Irresistable Object" Class Escort, and the "Nasty Brutal and Short" Class Destroyers had me wetting myself!
