Just so you know, Trashman, when I used your Archangel I didn't want the name "Galactic Terran Vasudan Bull****" in my mod. :P

*only a joke god damn it

How about GTVA Leonidas?

or GTVA Galatea in honour of the orion class destroyer vapourized in the great war by the shivans

 
GTVA AYNTFBTU*

Where's the problem? Are you really going to give a so conventional name to a massive warship? :wtf:

Battleship should work well for something between the corvette and the destroyer...something armed to the teeth.

That's where the Frigate class is.
The battleship (Bb, not Bs) should be bigger than the destroyer, let's say in the 3-5km range.

And back to topic:
GTVA Vulcanus
'Teeth of the Tiger' - campaign in the making
Story, Ships, Weapons, Project Leader.

 
We should stay in mythology and ancients, that's part of what makes the game and it's atmosphere what it is IMHO

GTVDn Sparta (in memoriam slave rebellions) ;)
GTVDn Titan(ia)
GTVDn Gaia (Greek and Celtic myth, I guess, my favorit: gaia=mother earth) ;)  ;7    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_%28mythology%29]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_%28mythology%29
GTVDn Thor
GTVDn Valhalla (OMG, it killed Shiva.....U BASTARDS!!!)  :lol:
GTVDn Siren (destroys every MoFu thats comes in range...)  :drevil:

Thanatos, Aether, Cyclops, ....

so check this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_tree_of_the_Greek_gods

GTVDn Ivanhoe (not really mythology, jeah, but still cool)

not GTVDn Odysseus = Ulyssis (as far as I know) already used...

there are so many options, let's find something unique for a unique ship....

nice, if there was a free space 3, i don't think it would have a Colossus class, mavbe a superdestroyer like the hades

The way I see it, the Collosus took 20 years to build one.  Given that the GTVA would be dedicating all their resources into relocating to a habitable world to replace Capella and needing to rebuild their fleet quickly after the damage the SJ armada caused, I doubt the GTVA would have the financial, manpower or time to be able to rebuild one or design a SD or a Juggernaut class.

I would either prefer a new fleet of Hecates seeing as the design is on the board, but look into making it with Sheath shielding or increasing firepower or armour.

I reject your reality and substitute my own, hence my existance on the Galatea!

Exactly! Thank you. The funny thing about some of the people in this community is that they don't understand that the Shivans are not the GTVA's biggest worry at that time. If anything, it would be welfare and health etc, not building another Colossus to fight pirates with.

If the GTVA had the resources, I'd design three new ships, 1 Destroyer, and 2 Corvettes

the GTVD Freedom
the GTCv Atreus
the GTCv Cerberus

Names don't go do well to display statistics. :P

But cool names, especially 'Freedom.'

Cheers, I was thinking of Armeggedon at the time.  I was going to say Independace, but I think the Vasudans wouldn't like that.

We've already discussed plenty on whether or not the GTVA would build a Colossus post-Capella.  This thread is ONLY for sharing possible names for potential future constructs.

Bringing my thread back on topic:

GTVA Raynus
GTVA Arthus
GTVA Tritanus
GTVA Quadranus
GTVA Pentagus
GTVA Hexagus
GTVA Septus
GTVA Daemus

Despite being your topic, we can discuss anything we want here unless you have the authoritay to stop us. :P

Authoritay!

At this point I'm sure that Fang_Taichou has more than enough names for the brand new spankin' Colossus (this thread has lasted for six pages already), so I'm gonna irreversibely move to the humour section.

Yes. The most obvious name is Colossus II. The other names aren't fine for a Juggernaut/Dreadnought. Colossus II rules.
