Uh...
Its a historical ship that was in WW2.
And its also the name of a modern day US Supercarrier IIRC.

Yeah I know, but what are people going to think of first when they see a space ship named Enterprise?

GVD Cleo (or GVD Cleopatra as long name)

GTD Hecate (the Hecate Prototype :P)
GTD GeeTeeDee (classic from Silent Threat (ok, it's GTD GTD there ;))... and Just another Day (afaik) ;))
GTD Nova (sounds good  :rolleyes: )
Shivan here, Shivan there, Shivan everywhere.

My english isn't very well, so sorry for a few mistakes.

Fun fact; it's implied NX-1 is named after the space shuttle, which was named after the NCC-1701, which makes it named after its replacement. The mind ****ing boggles.

The Space Shuttle Enterprise was so-named because of a petition (?) by Star Trek fans. Ironically (in my opinion) it's original name was apparently going to be 'Constitution', which was the class of NCC-1701, and so it would have had a Trekkie (used as an adjective, I'm not talking about Star Trek fans :nervous:) name anyway.

NCC-1701 is the number of the original (Kirk's) Enterprise. NX-1 is the number of the Enterprise in the Star Trek: Enterprise series.

I think most of the community agrees that the GTVA would be making a mistake if it made a second Colossus.

It's not exactly clear cut what most of the community thinks on that matter.

That name is more appropriate for an AWACS vessel.

You talk as if the word Vista was used for the first time by Microsoft. :doubt:

It's a reference to (eye)sight which fits perfectly the naming convention for AWACS vessels.

I know, but I now tend to take jokes in a serious way and reply accordingly.
