Mk, In reply to your post about names.

(Please be advised that I am over stressed, over tired, and the world slipped
a cog last night and it is later than I think. Do not expect rational,
thoughtful, or anything that requires more than one (1) functional and
distracted brain cell.)

Ship names: Generally speaking I do not use ship names, the life span of a
ship in combat in FT is far to short to spend time trying to figure
out names that have meaning (on a personal level).   I just name the
ship class and use the ID number on the base for the game. (I have named ship
classes for Brian Bells list.)

Ship class names: SDN: Golden Dragon, mass 80, (Named after Mother in Law) DN:
Argonaut, mass 72, (I like Mythology) DN: Ascension, mass 68, (I have been
there) DN: Wild Goose, mass 70, (I like the name) CM: Vulture, mass 30, (I
gave this name to a server at work, over great objections.) BB: Lookout, mass
56, (I like the name) CM: Viking, mass 30, ( Family heritage) CE: Bideford,
mass 26, (I have been there) CM: Shannon, mass 30, (My only landing in
Ireland) CM: Aardvark, mass 28, (They look strange)

Sha'VasKu ships:
     The Humans call them - Allies.
     The Kra'Vak call them - Target ##.
     The MCLM (Mar'Cal Le'Mer) call them - Lunch.

The Kra'Vak:
     SDNs     : Oh'Gag, So'Gag
     CVs      : Mi'Gaf, Lo'Gaf
Large BBs: No'Luk, Lo'luk, Du'Duk. Small BBs: Oh'Duk
     CA       : Da'Kul, Lo'Roc, Mi'Soc.
     CLs      : Lo'Wak, To'Wak, Du'Wak.
     DDs      : Lo'Jak, Hi'Jak, Fi'Bop, To'Bop, Hi'Chz.
It should also be noted that most if not all of these ships have been modified
from the supplied model and have a different (but
still Kra'Vak) look to them.   I do not have any ship larger than a
BB at the present time, but larger ships are on order. In a game the points
ratio is 3 Human to 2 Kra'Vak.

Enough for now, JTL

Did I ever give everyone the lecture why I HATE 'Daylight Savings Time'? And
me being a Morning Person, too...

:-)

> Ship names:

For me it's half the fun of putting scenarios together - the ship names
and putting little histories to them. Or letting scenarios dictate histories
of the ships.

> Ship class names:

heheheh

> Sha'VasKu ships:

*grin*

Thanks for the chuckle. Needed it after this weekend's 'fun'.

> The Kra'Vak:

Oh, yeah! Forgot; Kra'Vak can have fun names. I ran a scenario last year at
Marcon that had a handful of destroyers named Tin'Can, Tin'Kup, Mee'Etr, and
Vay'Gun, and a couple of cruisers named Dak'Walla and Dak'Soup. Oh, and a
couple of frigates named Pee'We and Ty'Nee.  :-)

Mk,
     So sorry, I left out one of my favorites.   -Be'Bop-
Is creativity a fun thing or what?

Bye for now, JTL

I had fun with a Narn ship named Sh'Boom.

Enjoy,
