Title: nameplates
Post by: ShadowWolf_IH on January 19, 2010, 07:00:19 am
has anyone thought /done on the lines of Vasudan nameplates?  I mean just like a Vasudan Alphabet to use as standard for nameplates on Vasudan ships?

there's nothing done so far IIRC, strange.. isn't it? seems like Vasudans don't like advertising their own ship names I guess  :p

I suppose when you think about it sticking a name on a ship is a matter of pride, perhaps the Vasudans dont see it as necessary or appropriate

Well pride seems to work for humans, naming a ship has always given that "belonging" feeling to their respective crews.

You are right, that's a human thing, no reason for Vasudans to do it as well.

Back on topic, I recall seeying a Vasudan font somewhere... I just can't remember where right now :sigh:

Doesn't seem like a very Vasudan thing to do really...

Well, we do have a Vasudan font (http://holonet.hard-light.net/vasletter.ttf) via Phoenix, so someone could presumably piece some nameplates together if they so chose.
