An Italian captain would be like:  "Mama mia!"  When a Sathanas jumps into firing range  :lol:

Designations for his ship could be these:

GTVA Brutus
GTVA Caesar
GTVA Piza

Mamma mia*
Pizza*

:doubt:

Super Mario says "Mamma mia!". The others say "Oh Ca**o!!!" :P

I think we could use GTVDn. Galactic Terran Vasudan Dreadnought. The original Colossus was more the symbol of the Alliance/Reconstruction Era rather than a pure warship. That's why it's "GTVA" and not "GTVDn" or something similar.

Super Mario says "Mamma mia!".

:wakka:

I just got the picture in my head of playing FS2 and then hearing Mario say "Mamma mia" when the Sathanas jumps in!  :lol:

Priceless!  :lol:

Dreadnought sounds acceptable. But that's probably because I'm used to hearing the term from the Star Wars universe.  Maybe it should just be referred to as a superdestroyer.

I say Dreadnought because it IS a kind of ship. That name is much more "real" than Juggernaut, Obliterator, Massacrator etc. etc.

Well considering that everyone else was making jokes I thought I'd join in. In anycase, why fix what's not broken? GTVA Colossus is fine for me.  :pimp:

GTVB sounds better IMO, with B for Battleship.

Maybe, but B already stands for Bomber.

Battleship's not a good name for a 6 kms long ship, and Dreadnought seems more appropriate in a sci-fi context.

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.
