I think by speeding up on scripting missions, I've re-tasked the part of my brain usually used for creative vocabulary to keeping mission bits in order. So here I am again, groveling at your feet for some more creative juice.
The first new ship developed in chapter 2 of Anathema is kind of an all-purpose medium class ship. Think if a Starbridge mated with, I don't know, a Pirate Carrier. The ship has 4 different major classes. These were easy to come up with: Star Cruiser, Light Cruiser, Heavy Cruiser, and Battlecruiser. But the names that I've assigned them all kind of suck. They just don't fit in right.
Currently, the working name for the ship itself is the "Excalibur," with the four classes being "Sabre," "Épee," "Rapier," and "Claymore." So sue me. It was like 3:00 a.m. when I was naming them and it was over 2 years ago. :rolleyes: I'd like to keep the names all similarly themed, but distinct. But I just want them to actually make sense in the Nova-verse.
To give you an idea of what the ships roles are, Star Cruisers are equally balanced between defense, propulsion, and weaponry. Light Cruisers sacrifice defenses for maneuverability while retaining their firepower. Heavy Cruisers sacrifice defenses for weapons but are still just as maneuverable as Star Cruisers, and Battlecruisers sacrifice speed for either defense or weaponry. I kind-of tried to work that into the names of each one, but like I said, they just don't mesh right.
Anything come to mind for anyone?
