Ah, WTF, everything sounds gay in French, if you ask me!!! Really hate that language (no offense)

No offense taken, but still it sounds gay
Anyway, I think it's really time we get away from that "greek naming convention" thinguy, it makes no sense. Heck, all those ships don't even come from the same manufacturers, and as much as Vasudan like egyptian names, I can't see why they would take names like that, don't they have their own mythologies and stuff?
F22 Raptor sounds much better than GTF "put greek name with 3 k and 2 x there" to me

Err.. names of birds and **** like "dagger.. longsword" get old to me.

[phreak]

Because every other spacesim has unimaginative names such as Raptor, Broadsword, Arrow, Mad Cat, etc. (Okay not Mad Cat, but some games are so generic you get the ships mixed up with Battletech)

GTB Boanerges, GTW Circe, SB Nahema, those are names you're not going to forget, especially since the voice actors pronounce them for you

Anyway, the FS naming convention allows for some obscure myth references. Something the unimaginative Hurt//Maim//Kill (Okay too much StarSiege, yet more generic names there though) names of modern arms don't have, it shows pride in their work.

Yes, what he said.

Ex.  GTG 'Sabre' vs GTG Mjolnir..

GTF 'Eagle' vs. GTF Perseus

GTD 'Long Island' vs. GTD Orion

See the difference?

[Nico]

Of course, you're not obliged to pick up plain names like GTF eagle or GTC tard
I don't see the originality of picking names in a preset list, but that's just me. I don't see what's so great with having 5 modded ships called the same way either, btw, but that's another pb...

Sarge: A Puma?? What kind of animal is that? Are you kidding me boy?

Didn't I tell you to stop makin' up animals?

Anyway, I don't really dislike the name that much, I didn't mean to start up all this. That said, I would certainly download a GTC Tard if it were ever released.
