Ship names...
If I could come up with ship names for the whole xan race, would they be changed? :P (k probably not..)
I was just wondering.. because I dunno... ship name: "Butterfly" doesn't seem particularly threatening to me...
Or mosquito... *sighs*
Just a small rant... I'll come up with names later and add them to this thread..

I've mentioned already that getting the names changed to the old names isn't going to happen.... :P
My only complaint about the PaX names is just... well.. who the heck is going to be afraid of 500 Butterflies?
Here they go hopping from flower to flower, trallalala with the rainbows and the sunny days associated with butterflies....

thats the tactic part :P, no one will think 500 butterflies are evil untill you landed on your target and killed every ships there, best thing is they won't be getting defence since butterflies don't hurt anyone anyways =)

They should use that in their advertising for new players...come play PA, and swarm your enemies with a butterfly rush.

I'm a Zik, and the one ship I see on my prod screen is a Dagger. So either the names changed or something's off with race selection.
And, uh, Zealots??

Those stats are ones he made. They are not actual Planetarion stats.

We ranted a lot about the ship names in the beta forums. Wonder wonder.
And, why not the old names?
To avoid confusing things like "Why doesn't my sentinel target fighters?".

Yes.
Unless Ultimate Newbie has made actual contact with an alien race, and is keeping their invasion of earth a secret in return for his life to be spared and a marriage with the beautiful daughter of the Zealot-King.
