Title: It's a naming contest!
Post by: Axem on October 16, 2006, 05:26:08 pm: Hello and good day.

I am working on this silly campaign called Just Another Day 3: Shivans on a Plane. So in the theme of "Every thing is explained in the title", I made a Shivans on a Plane model (which DaBrain kindly textured).

However I have a problem. Shiva Airlines is too boring IMO. Same with anything else I've come up with (naming stuff is hard). So I come to you, people of the Mission and Campaigns board, to help me come up with a name for this motherfraking air/spaceline. :)

Post by: Mathwiz6 on October 16, 2006, 05:46:10 pm: Make it: Shivans on a Plane (or rough equivalent), and stick them on a perseus :D

Or Shivans on a Cain.

Or call the airline Draconis Airways :lol:.

I'll have to find out what the Airline name was for that Twilight Zone....

Post by: Turey on October 16, 2006, 06:07:51 pm: I like "Motherfraking Airlines" and "Snakes on a Cain", but here's some more:

Cappellan Airlines

BeamRed Airways (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetblue)

Post by: Herra Tohtori on October 16, 2006, 06:57:42 pm: :lol:@ topic... anyway.

These might do if the airliner is Terran:

AltAir
Alpha One :confused: :shaking: :drevil:
Red5 (as opposed to Blue1 (http://www.blue1.fi/))
White Star Lines ;7
Skyline GTr (Galactic Transportation... :nervous:)

From more monotonous side...

Bosch Air
Trans Polaris
FedEx (What? Why not? The Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena was founded in 1472 and it's now seventh biggest bank in Italy, so...) :lol:

Or even

Delta Air Lines, straight from Delta Serpentis.

For Shivan airlines, I don't really know. If the Shivans are supposed to invade the plane, why should it be named anything related to Shivans?

Post by: NGTM-1R on October 16, 2006, 11:13:43 pm: ShivAir. (Or ShivAero.)

But Shivans on a Cain should be the name of the campaign, doesn't sound like an airline name, does it?

Title: Re: It's a naming contest!
Post by: Mustang19 on October 27, 2006, 09:34:09 am: You've got as many good ideas as you're gonna get.

Pick either some good FRED/HLPBB-related name like:

CarlAir
ShivanCommNode
SSuperD
FredEx

To have an inside-joke kind of feel, or something like:

SheasyJet
Wrath-Of-An-Angry-Cosmos-Air

Nice ideas Snail :pimp:.

Title: Re: It's a naming contest!
Post by: Axem on October 31, 2006, 01:09:20 pm: I got 43 unique submissions, so I guess I'll start trying to choose. A poll is an idea, but after I trim it down to 4 or 5. Or I could just get a hat and randomly choose one...

Also about Shivans on a Cain. It doesn't really sound like an airline name, but rest assured I will make sure that the line "Shivans on a Cain" will be in JAD3. ;)

Post by: Axem on November 09, 2006, 04:10:03 pm: Maybe a thing here and there, but you won't see any doves in the missions. That would just be silly.

Oh you mean the other one? No, not at all.

:nervous:
Title: Re: It's a naming contest!

Post by: karajorma on November 26, 2006, 04:58:08 am: Cool. That model is actually to scale.

I'm sure I can find all kinds of uses for this apart from comedy missions. Thanks a lot :)

EDIT : Why didn't you use a sounds.tbm too? Don't they work?

EDIT : Why didn't you use a sounds.tbm too? Don't they work?

My idea was to make it to scale. The only .tbm files I have used are for ships and weapons. The model itself wasn't to scale at first; it wasn't even facing the right direction!
