Title: Shipyard Name
Post by: Fergus on September 28, 2004, 01:37:01 pm

Can anyone suggest a name for a Shipyard in Cappela?

3rd fleet HQ?  That's what Capella's installation is named in the campaign (or at least one of them).

That's a fleet HQ...Shipyards ought to be larger. And have Ganymedes scattered around.

I dunno...Han-Ronald Plant #7?

Speculating?  Some combination of a system or planet name (possibly orbital if they are actually that close to a planet) and the word shipyard or fleet yard.  Examples:

Cygnus Prime Orbital Shipyards
Triton Dynamics Fleet Yards, Capella
RNI Shipyards
etc

AFAIK, the only canon shipyard name we hear is that of "Freedom Shipyards" in Capella. So, err, just add an impressive sounding word in front of shipyards.

Freedom Shipyards in Polaris, where the Iceni was built...and I bet that isn't their original name, but a name given after the NTF Rebellion began.

Bladerunner, the dying speech of the last replicant;
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."

I believe Tanhauser Gate is also used in Dream Pod 9's Heavy Gear universe for the Gateships, though I could be mistaken.

Are there any shipyard models out or anything like that? I remember(I think) Steak did a render of the Vasuda Prime shipyards. I always wondered if that was actually model

Well there's the Shipyards in the main FS2 game, and I believe there's also some shipyard that attaches to the bottom of that big Vasudan base (the one that looks like a big potato).
