Hey people...what do you think about the Iceni, then?

Referred to as a Corvette by your Wingman at one point.  "We're 5 Clicks from that Corvette!"

In the same manner the SD Nebiros is referred to as a cruiser, and the GVCv Thebes is referred to as a destroyer.

lol...face it...the whole game's rubbish under its own naming system, or else Voilition intentionally planned that the GTA / GTVA (Let's just say the humans) militaries consisted of retards that didn't go through any type of "Know your enemy and your friend, and what to expect to see in the field" training...

Might as well say again, Cruisers are AAA platforms with rave lights, Corvettes bigger AAA platforms with ravier rave lights, and Destroyers carriers with ravey rave lights.

This, I believe is as accurate as it can get.

...wha-...oh yeah, Snipes said:

Spoiler:

Alpha 2: We got incoming, a Ravana-class CRUISER, designation Nebiros.

Which persona said that the Thebes was a destroyer?

It's in the Bearbaiting debriefing if you happen to lose the Thebes:

"The destroyer Thebes, however, did not survive the engagement."

Yeah, but a wingman calling the Iceni a 'corvette' just after they've discovered the thing is more forgivable than these other two examples. Yes, Loukakis did say that it was a 'frigate', but at least the Iceni is corvette-sized.

Into the Lion's Den there's a Rakshasha cruiser that doesn't have a unique name too.

[Droid803]

Everything in Into the Lion's Den (except the Nebiros) doesn't have a name...

[Androgeos Exeunt]

True. I never really gave much thought to the magnitude of the whole name problem in Into the Lion's Den until now.

[Ziame]

Well, I think it's forgivable. IMO it gives this feeling of "OMGWTFBBQ our computerz can't compute namez! NOOOOEES!"

probably changed its class to Sobek after realizing that a destroyer could easily survive a direct engagement against the Beleth - maybe its hitpoints and the main beam cannon were too much to turn the second part of Bearbaiting into a worth challenge.

Even the name suggests that the Thebes was a destroyer - it was the name of an ancient city. Except for Alexandria, most(all?) names of that kind are used for destroyers(Carthage, Cyrene, Phoenicia, Aquitaine). Afterall, names of cities and regions work fine.

Psamtik (I), on the other hand, was an Egyptian king who united his people freed his land from Assyrian control in under ten years. The Memphis, on the other hand, is named after an Egyptian city.

I think it is hence safe to assume that modern Vasudan ship names are taken from very good Egyptian kings/Pharaohs and Egyptian cities.

In short, something

A) Egyptian

and

B) Notable for some good reason

The Colossus is a Battle Ship.

Look at the cutscene where it talks about its weapons capability, around the top right of the screen the exact words:
TVA Battle Ship.

There's your Canon evidence.

[Commander Zane]

If I had something that would play the blasted thing so I can screen it I would, you'll just have to watch it a couple times yourself.

[Jeff Vader]

something that would play the blasted thing so I can screen it

You mean like... a media player of some sort?

Picture related.

[Commander Zane]

No Windows Media Player will not display the video. WinAmp will not display videos either.
But that's the screen I was going for.

[Jeff Vader]

No Windows Media Player will not display the video. WinAmp will not display videos either.

Ever thought about installing codecs? Actually, the easier option is to get a media player that plays videos without any hassle. VLC Media Player will accomplish this task, but personally I prefer The KMPlayer nowadays since it looks cooler and crashes far less often. Or never, to be precise.

[Rodo]

I have the VLC and also real player plays it, I think he's right... the vid defines the Colossus as a "XXX" battle ship of massive proportions ( don't know what says on the XXX part), well that's what says in 3 different shots, the other descriptions are just the same text written over and over ... something like "math is cool Im preety deamed... and I can't read any further.

[Jeff Vader]

It looks a lot like TVA, as Commander Zane said. Which could naturally stand for Terran-Vasudan Alliance.
