Terran ship classes and names usually come from greek mythology, I think he wants some name suggestions, so...

Leonidas
Polynikes
Mycenae
Thebes
Corinth

Thespus

[colecampbell666]

Names for Megaera class destroyers:

Megaera, Alecto and Tisiphone.

So there are at least 3 Megaeras in INFA/INFA2, I assume?

Terran ship classes and names usually come from greek mythology

Greek, Roman, Norse, and some recent historical events/persons. (US presidents, etc, etc.)

[Mobius]

Names for Megaera class destroyers:

Megaera, Alecto and Tisiphone.

So there are at least 3 Megaeras in INFA/INFA2, I assume?

Megaera, Alecto and Tisiphone are the three Furies. Just like Huey, Dewey and Louie....those are appropriate names

Greek, Roman, Norse, and some recent historical events/persons. (US presidents, etc, etc.)

Add some Asian and Middle Eastern names in there.

[nubbles526]

Add some Asian and Middle Eastern names in there.

What? Like the GTD Yin Yang? Hmm...Not bad.

But also let's not forget Axem's Hecate (Just forgot the name now...what was it Axem?)

[NGTM-1R]

Go hit up http://www.combinedfleet.com/kaigun.htm and steal IJN names if you like.

Names of warships past and present are appropriate to GTVA and even NTF craft.

[Grizzly]

GTC Zephrys (Western)

Zephyrus.

Zephyrus is latin, Zephrys is greek.

Add some Asian and Middle Eastern names in there.

Eurydice
Ithaca
Odysseus
Orpheus
Romulus

[colecampbell666]

-Menealos

Castro

[TrashMan]

Just name a ships the GTD Allah and send it to be destroyed by the shivans.

Then observe as a Jihad against them is called..poor shivans

[Grizzly]

Jihad is the holy war against yourself... so this would be more of an Alpha 1/FRED thingy.

There is also an less important Jihad, who says that you should defend your religion... some people, however, take this to letterly and to seriously...

It suprises me kinda that there aren't any Asian ship names at all in FS while... ehrm one third or a half of our population is Asian...

[Wobble73]

Errrr......isn't Shiva, Rakshasha and Ravana etc. asian names (Hindu gods???)????????
