Colossus designations?
Let's assume the GTVA decides to build more Colossus-class juggernauts after Capella.  What kind of names could you think up for them? (must be realistic)

I've got:

Hyperion
Olympus
Spartacus
Atlantis
Brutus
Caesar
Terra
Vasuda

Statue of Liberty  ;)

If you don't get it, the Statue of Liberty is a Colossus (as in the statue, not the giant watergun)

If it was GTVA Excalibur, it'd better be good looking and well armed!!! ;)

Is Enterprise allready taken?

And, no, Excalibur. Enterprise is NOT taken, but is, in fact, the best name for a ship ever. (Yeah, yeah, I know. Again, addicted to Trek. Shush.)

'Warspite' was already taken by a Deimos corvette in the FS2 campaign, remember the two missions involving the TAG missiles?

I'd stick with variations of Colossus.  that or name them after the 7 wonders of the ancient world.  that could be cool.

My Juggernaut design would have 2 massive beam cannons at the front somewhere. :nod:

And I think Enterprise would be the best name for a flagship too, AlexG (even though I'm not addicted to Trek)

  • I'm a minefield of information.
How about:

GTVA Ama-Terasu (Japanese sun god, I think)

or

GTVA Eumenides (commonly used greek name for the Erinyes when people didn't want to risk attracting their attention)

EDIT - Actually, forget the second one, it'd be far better used as some kind of new/modified Erinyes fighter.

Good question, because I am quite sure command would not just say GTVA Colossus 1, GTVA Colossus 2...

My suggestion:
GTVA Saphon

Alright, when I begin to FRED, I have to do that now. That is, unless you're going to do the idea yourself. I've had this lovely idea floating around my head for a while concerning the end of the Universe. A 7-ship fleet ought to fit nicely with the romantic tradition...

The Giza
The Babylon
The Zeus
The Artemis
The Maussollos
The Lighthouse
and, of course, The Colossus - MK II

Sounds almost metaphysical, doesn't it?
