Xan ship names
After being convinced it might be a great idea to read shipstats before buying ships I came across the following issue:
The xan ship names would make Ghandi turn violent
Epic names such as "Illusion", "Mirage" and fkn VampY?!?!re only leaves me with one choice.
Either hang the idiot responsible for this outrage or else I am going to have your clothes donated to LL-Cool J's wet-sex evening.

Re: Xan ship names
I agree, the xan ship names leave a little to be desired...

They remind me of various RTS games

Oops.
I did ask for help in getting new ghosty names*, but the entirety of the PA playerbase that reads these forums or the beta forums couldn't come up with anything else that's viable.
Except stuff like 'Skeleton', but we won't go back over that.
*and, seriously, thanks to those that helped. I particularly like revenant, and banshee was a bit of a life saver too...

Only if you're stringing him up by his toes and flogging him repeatedly with rubber chickens. Otherwise, I'm afraid I must veto all other forms of stringing.

Re: Xan ship names
The names could be worse. There could be a ship called the "Squidly".

Yeah... the ship would probably have 3 armor, 1 damage, an init of 60 and would likely cause the maker of such a set of stats including said ship to be banned off of the internet.
Suppose some decent names would include maybe apparition, shade or soul.

It should have at least 8 damage - one for each tentacle.
Or is that an octopus?

Since I read all the panic about bird flu, I bought a whole chicken and tried to eat it.
I didn't actually realise how much chicken is in a chicken, so part of it is still in my fridge, but regardless, I still feel absolutely fine. Take that bird flu!

You must be immune or something, not fair!
Maybe the bird flu is hiding in the piece you got in your fridge - you better go check.

Re: Xan ship names
Atleast Seraph was removed :-\
Normally, I would've given a lot of (good) name suggestions, but I was very busy, and all I got time to do was yell about Seraph.

Ziz :/
Vampyre, I'm sure, was what was suggested in a thread. And it's in a Terry Pratchett book. And we all know terry pratchett has a cool hat.
My mate actually held that hat once.

If it's a xan fighter.

Actually I quite enjoy the suggestion that Xan fighters pwning Terran destroyers is all just a dream.
or was that not quite your point?
