Warlock and Hyperion nameplate info needed
FUBAR-BDHR:
Well it seems that unlike the other TBP ships the Warlock class has not only names but numbers as well. So far I've only been able to find the Banshee and I'm not sure if that is even canon. The Hyperion is even worse and not only has a name and number but some sort of code and possibly another marking under the EA logo.
So the first question is is the Hyperion even worth trying to do nameplates for?
Second do the numbers change from ship to ship or are they like the letters on the bottom of the Nova? I've seen 21 and 24 for on Hyperions but again I can't confirm those.
Next is does anyone have any more detailed info on the Warlock and any canon names/numbers?
Vidmaster:
The Hyperion got this blue text-like nameplate right? Not fancy at all. Me thinking it's unnecessary.
VERTi60:
Other space sims such as Celestia use numbers and some blurred text for hyperion as seen in this pic
Here's the one with 21:
As for the warlock they have nameplates on their front sides, no visible numbers. EA logo at sides closer to the mid of the hull.
There are letters on the right side and numbers on the left side of the logo. I though the letters could indicate a warlock class, but I think the numbers could indicate the serial number afterall, since only 100 Warlock class ships were scheduled by EA force (Sources have indicated that the Earth Alliance is planning to build well over a hundred of Warlock class ships, considering the price of these ships are over fifty billion credits per ship)
FUBAR-BDHR:
Well on the Warlock those are numbers on the side of the EA logo.
That's about 6 different Hyperion layouts I've seen now. About the only constant thing is the number on the side but half are always 21 no matter what the name is. I've also seen the name on the nose and above the logo. Hyperion there instead and the name near the EA logo. Serial letters/number on the top sides (something like xxx-xxxxx but I could never see them clearly) Then there is something below the EA logo that I can never read in any of them. Could be a second copy of the serial number.
One thing that could make some sense is that the 21/24/15 on the Hyperions and the 42 on the Warlock are version numbers. Like all 24's came off the same assembly line. If there were 10000 ships in the fleet 2 digit numbers wouldn't cut it.

The Foxfire is mentioned by name in the Crusade ep "Each Night I Dream of Home" but the two camera shots we get don't show the registry number.
