Since we already have Atreu(s), why not make a GTD Fuchur?

What about the GTD Shenlong and the seven comm nodes needed to activate it?

For that to work out it would have to be SD, not GTD. And I'm glad the Neverending Story hasn't yet been swollowed up by the nothing (despite a bad remake, but let's not go into that).

So...ships of the titan-class are named after famous british naval assets...and Raynors after greek mythic figures?

Quoting myself...
Temeraire was the name of five ships and two shore establishments...
Imperieuse was the name of even six ships and one training establishment.
So...how does Electra fit in for another Titan? A destroyer in World War 2, build in 1934, second ship of its class, destroyed in 1942...
What about...Invincible, Ark Royal and so on?
And what about Midway etc?
Or am I simply missing some important point about the TEVs naming system in BP?

Yes, you were missing the point that I was discussing names for the next Raynors, not the next Titans.

[crizza]

You wrote the next Raynor or Titan could be named Electra or Leonidas.
Atreus and Orestes are both mythic greek figures...so Electra wouldn't quite fit.

[The E]

Yeah, no. There's a very clear naming pattern for Raynor- and Titan-class ships. The next Raynors would probably be called Electra and Leonidas.

Read the post carefully. In the first full sentence, I establish that there is in fact a specific naming scheme in place for both Titans and Raynors. In the second, I say that the names for the next two Raynors will probably be Electra and Leonidas. At no point do I make suggestions about names for new Titans.

Also, Electra is very definitely a figure from greek mythology. She is Orestes' sister, to be exact.

If there is an unfitting name, it's Leonidas (As Leonidas was a king of Sparta, not of Mycenae). So instead of Leonidas, I would propose Agamemnon.

[crizza]

Ah, now I have found her^^
My bad, sorry.

[LordPomposity]

The naming convention for Titans seems to be a bit more specific than that; the Temeraire and Imperieuse are both named after RN warships that were in turn named after French prizes (a fairly common practice in the RN).

GTD Enterprize?

[crizza]

There are so many famous ships...so we can name dozens of titans^^

No! My swarms of Custodes(?) will take all the names first and you will have no Titans!

[SpardaSon21]

Please don't do a GTD Leonidas.  300 jokes would be made about it, its captain, and evil Space Persians.

There's one in Ridiculous. Used for the exact purpose.

[SpardaSon21]

I know, and that was awesome because it was for comedic purposes.  I was referring to the BP team putting a GTD Leonidas in BP and them having it be a normal destroyer, while everyone else in the BP forum would portray it as captained and crewed by Spartans, with plenty of jokes about it ramming Shivan emissaries into Knossos portals while the captain yells "THIS IS GTVA!"

[crizza]

Then just call it GTD Sparta and portray it, it's crew and it's CO as more badass than Steele^^

[LordPomposity]

[MatthTheGeek]

Someone has tremendously light lighting settings. Try some PP.

But how is that even possible?  Only Steele has BALLS OF STEELE!  Okay, maybe Leonidas himself and Duke Nukem have balls of steel, but they aren't as Steeley as Steele's BALLS OF STEELE.

[Timerlane]

Yeah, I was thinking about a joke of it booting the UEF back through the portal(with or without Gerard Butler head ani).

"This! Is! Delta Serpentis!"

[Luis Dias]

GTD ELECTRA!!

Unless battuta is a lying sack of crap, which I won't discount off-hand, we already have the names for the next two Raynors and Titans, just no distinguishing between which is which.  He dropped them in the bp IRC channel at one point.
