Interesting mission names! (Part II)
Slaying Ravana: easy; kill a Ravana

A Game of Tag: everyone knows this one

Into the Lions Den: Stupidly flying into a Shivan "den" or swarm(base of operations if you're picky)

Slaying Ravana actually means a little more than that.  It actually makes a successful allusion to the ship namer, Ravana, in Hindu mythology.  Ravana was an evil king in the Ramayana who kidnapped Rama's wife, Sita (Kappa wing?) and spirited her to his kingdom (the nebula).  In Hindu mythos, he is specifically described as being a devoted follower of Shiva.

Oh, god, eight years. I don't think Midnight Mercenary is going to get your message, Scotty.

A spambot resurrected this thread, so it's not Scotty's fault, but still, let's start a new one if we want to discuss, okay?

Re: Interesting mission names! (Part II)
New thread started.

And, yeesh.  I think that was the most prolific spambot I've seen.  There's got to be a special place in the Eighth Circle of Hell for spamvertisers.

Anyway, the guy is banned and all his posts are in the Recycler.  Search engines can't see inside there, I hope? -- otherwise I can just perma-delete the posts.

I always preferred the Harpoon style of theme naming to the FS one.
