Title: List of appropriate names for ships
Post by: 'Captain' Nick Brown on August 19, 2001, 09:51:00 pm
Here is a list of Greek Gods (which I believe is what most Terran ship classes are named after) for use in MODs:

Short list of Roman Gods:

I haven't included all the greek gods. I've only listed the ones that aren't used in FS2, not really used in Astronomy, and ones that are fairly easy to pronounce.

I hope this reference is helpful.

[edit] Here's some more:Or you can just go to www.pantheon.org (//"http://www.pantheon.org")  like the man said...

or you can also try www.pantheon.org, ("http://www.pantheon.org,")  they have hundreds of greek names, and thousands of names from all mythologies and religions  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) My Tau fleet uses the Japanese Shinto naming convention, for exemple (beware, weird names  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) )

Those seeker mines are killers. The best way to kill them I found is to get them going after you then fly away backwards and shoot the closest ones, and you're talking to the guy who simultaneously ambushed two Maas Mega-Freighter convoys and won  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

The mine layer dosent have any seeker mines, but I can but an engin on it and could go after any ship if I make the mine's flags into a fighter or bomber set to kamikaza and set them to attack any ship(This mine layer uses no new weapons.tbl data, olny ships   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
