unless they're used

Anyway, all this begins to sound stupid. You claim a name only when you've a model doan, that's pretty obvious to me... Otherwise I claim all the names not taken yet, nah!

Well, as we're taking ship names...

Indium, Iridium, Elihud, Prophet (though that's likely to have been used), Amminadab, Rehabeam, at least  

Naah... use them if you want. They're all featured in TFoN, but not as ship classes.

Pantheon is fine, I just wish I could search it with my mind. I mean, I went looking for an explorer in Celtic mythology, for a ship's name, and couldn't find much.

Pantheon needs more Kalevalaic heroes too.

That's the same thing I posted except I had it in a list view.

If you're really lazy or have no knowledge of obscure mythology, just make up names- do you really think that in 1000 yrs. they won't have new legends and languages that you can make up?

DSC Savoyed
CF Calatsia

Just to name a few ones that I thought up and threw away for LB.

Norse mythology is good for Shivan craft, and relatively unused.

SC Jotun

Or, you can just use old military names- an approach   actually used- the Typhoon, for example, in an actual old torpedo or something similar.

And finally, when in doubt, just name it Stryke.

Wasn't the Jotun the name of a Vasudan gas miner that Alpha 1 needs to protect?

And   never usd Typhoon; the Vasudan capital ship is Typhon, with a single "o". But that's nit-picking.

Norse mythology is the naming convention for GTI ships. And Jotun is used by Venom's mega-huge bomber...  

[Nico]

Yeah! one of the few new names I didn't found to be already used somewhere else (if someone mentions the jotunheim in silent threat, I'll teach him how to fly through a window   )

Typhon is a greek god (yup  )

[Shrike]

You know, I don't think I've ever ran into a naming conflict when dealing with mythical names.... Alcyone; no, Norn; no, Dante; no, Megaera; not as far as I know.

Amusingly enough, the one naming conflict was the Wasp, which I have to finish the skin for.
