[FT] NI designs and uber Ships

Noam:

As I said, it's a 'delicate juggling act', but I've noticed sometimes where
there might be confusion, some of the GZG fleets switch between 'old' designs
and 'new' designs, so you have an every other level size shift to keep
straight. I think NSL capitals are particularly good examples. Just a thought
to keep in mind for home sculptors.

*sigh* No, Jon can never have too much of that...

However, I'm sure he'd be surprised at just how much of the GeoHex stock is
still floating around.

I'm curious as to this; is it a religious thing? Or, just the extra syllables?

I do agree with the whole name-bashing scheme in that you can fudge by
smashing different parts of other descriptions together.

Definitely keeping what you're saying of kit-bashing for future ref, now
that I've near enough UN ships to consider alternatives to go with the
standards, though all are STILL unassembled, much less than, painted.

   Well, it might just be the extra syllables.  :-)  I just think that
the military wouldn't use it to designate an entire type of ship. I could see
either being used to designate a ship "class" just fine though. Militaries
seem to more flippant with actual ship names sometimes.

Yeah, it's just that they usually try to make a design designation relate to
what it actually does.
