Mk,
In reply to your post about names.
(Please be advised that I am over stressed, over tired, and the world
slipped a cog last night and it is later than I think. Do not expect
rational, thoughtful, or anything that requires more than one (1)
functional and distracted brain cell.)
Ship names:
Generally speaking I do not use ship names, the life span of a
ship in combat in FT is far to short to spend time trying to figure
out names that have meaning (on a personal level). I just name the
ship class and use the ID number on the base for the game. (I have
named ship classes for Brian Bells list.)
Ship class names:
SDN: Golden Dragon, mass 80, (Named after Mother in Law)
DN : Argonaut, mass 72, (I like Mythology)
DN : Ascension, mass 68, (I have been there)
DN : Wild Goose, mass 70, (I like the name)
CM : Vulture, mass 30, (I gave this name to a server at work,
over great objections.)
BB : Lookout, mass 56, (I like the name)
CM : Viking, mass 30, ( Family heritage)
CE : Bideford, mass 26, (I have been there)
CM : Shannon, mass 30, (My only landing in Ireland)
CM : Aardvark, mass 28, (They look strange)
Sha'VasKu ships:
The Humans call them - Allies.
The Kra'Vak call them - Target ##.
The MCLM (Mar'Cal Le'Mer) call them - Lunch.
The Kra'Vak:
SDNs : Oh'Gag, So'Gag
CVs : Mi'Gaf, Lo'Gaf
Large BBs: No'Luk, Lo'luk, Du'Duk.
Small BBs: Oh'Duk
CA : Da'Kul, Lo'Roc, Mi'Soc.
CLs : Lo'Wak, To'Wak, Du'Wak.
DDs : Lo'Jak, Hi'Jak, Fi'Bop, To'Bop, Hi'Chz.
It should also be noted that most if not all of these ships have
been modified from the supplied model and have a different (but
still Kra'Vak) look to them. I do not have any ship larger than a
BB at the present time, but larger ships are on order. In a game
the points ratio is 3 Human to 2 Kra'Vak.
Enough for now,
