Re: Ship naming competition

FYI These are the final stats, so if like Furball you have some recommendations (preferably different) base them on this: http://goat.no-ip.com/r16beta7.xls

FYI those aren't the final stats (it pretty clearly says 'beta' on them).

Edit: But I have no plans to change targeting, so you might as well do like Cannon_Fodder says and base it on that.

Need I say more? Better than large male duck anyway

Gryphon was CO->FR back in r11, so that change is at least mildly appropriate (and it's still def against the small Cath pod...)

Demeter is a bit annoying, as she was a goddess, not a mythical creature. Not only that, but she was the goddess of agriculture. Hardly fitting for a PA ship. I expect everyone's going to hate me for the replacement though. The Ziz originates from the same myths as Leviathan and Behemoth, except apparantly big sea serpents and overgrown hippos are cooler than birds big enough to block out the sun (Though let's face it, Leviathan and Behemoth do sound slightly more intimidating).

Scorpion as an FR doesn't work, so we dig out the Recluse. It's a kind of spider. If you've got a strong stomach you can go google image search "recluse spider". Mantis is an oldie, but a goodie.

So we lose the Lancer (no real ships in that role this round) and the Pulsar (I was tempted to make the Pulsar FI->FR as that's historically more correct than then Vsh being FI->FR). The Ghost is a fairly easy one after last round. I wanted one more of the old 'cloak' names in, and of the old r3-5 ones, only Wraith and Spectre were left. Wraith was a CO, but Spectre always fired at small ships. Since I've been doing it a lot today, I let targeting decide.

Finally, the elusive Interceptor. Some people want the Harpy to be renamed, but I figured zik would actually fit the name better, as it's role as much as a noun. Cutlass as FI->CO fits better than Thief there (I didn't want to make the Thief DE, as traditionally Pirate is the big one, Thief is the small one). Other than that it should be fairly straight-forward. Except the new Clipper. That one made me cry a little inside.

Re: Ship naming competition

Like many of the new names (especially Fireblade and Intereceptor), but:

Xan CR and BS? what the heck?
Don't like the resource type ratios. They used to be a consistent 3:3:4 ratio, but

Harpy is 7:5:5
Gryphon is 4:3:3
et cetera. I think that the resource type ratios should at least be the same for all ships of a certain race. (though it good keeping the Xans at 1:1:1)

as for the shipstat numbers, no large imbalances seem to stand out, atleast to me...

Re: Ship naming competition

I have to admit for my ship stats I cheated; I didn't like working out roughly how much all the ships should cost and fiddle around, so I just made a total resources column then split it 4:3:3 like you said for the 3 races.
I'm not sure how tactical Jester was trying to be with his resource selection, but it used to play very much a part in things - some ships were created to be c/ m dumps, etc, especially in earlier stats.

I adhered stricter to these rules for r13, but I generally had special ships have slightly more than 40% of their cost in the race's special resource, and normal have slightly less.

I guess all the cath that went heavily for Tulas benefited

Scimitar....which is a name of a sword...maybe Xan
Sting or Stingray....which would be a good Cath name
Razor....a good Xan name
And i like Frightcrawler....don't know what class that would be though
