"FreeSpace: The Great War
Volition used Indian culture gods to designate Shivan fighter wings and Zodiac signs to designate hostile Vasudan wings.
[...]
Underlined wing names were used in the Main FreeSpace Campaign. The other wing names are hints for mission designers."
Now, with that in mind, look at this:
# Durga
# Venkateshwara
# Satyanarayana
# Rama
# Krishna
Really? :lol:
[COMMAND] Pilots, Venkateshwara wing is targeting the installation! Stop them!
[DELTA 2] Impossible, Command! Satyanarayana wing is all over us!
[COMMAND] ...
[COMMAND] Changing wing naming conventions! Engage Cancer wing on the double!

I've always considered wing naming more of a general theater thing then a written rule. If the guy running the AWACS want's to designate wings as ex-girlfriends then he can. Yea they should become standard over time in that theater of operation but if a second front opened up you would expect multiple naming conventions. Heck even different branches of the military (if they exists) might call them different things.

I love the idea. :drevil:

There's a reason why the short and simple Shivan wing names got underlined as the ones used in FS1 itself. There's a ****load of names on that list; you'd need to have used up a huge number of wings to have to fall back on Satanarayana.

In multiple ways, as it turned out. I think I went with "nyar-LATH-hoe-tep" myself. :p

Hindu astrology inspired names?
There is plenty of usable names at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic_astrology. You have Surya (the sun), Chandra (the moon), Mangala (Mars), Budha (Mercury), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn). There's lots of usable names in there: Rahu, Ketu, Mesa, Simha, Kanya, Tula, Dhanus, Makara, Sukha, Putra, Ari, Dharma, Karma, Labha, Vyaya, Magha, Ardra, Hasta, Chitra, Svati, etc...
