Ok, lets give everything a name (voting on the third faction homeworld)

Have it end in "a" to make it female. Ships are always female.

[Mr X]

However I am not particularly thrilled by any of them myself.

New new rule, you have to have a serious belief that it has a chance.

17 ship types in the build tree!!

Build tree? This is just for the background story, the ship never has an in mission appearance. (and it gets blown up a few missions in anyway.)

Have it end in "a" to make it female. Ships are always female.

He has a point.

In English they are, were they in ancient Greek? I'm ok with either answer, I just don't know.

[Mr X]

Ancient Greece doesn't matter, because it occurs in the near future, it would be named using our ship naming practices.

I was trying to help by giving a list of names with historical relation. They could be used anywhere in the story. I do not think just throwing up a flack of more rules would help anything. It would more stifle any good ideas. I specifically brought up that the Scions will have more than 1 ship and using the listed names for the ships or for their class would have a historical relation. I just don't want to hear classes for the scions like "Constitution class".

Permission to model some Scion ships and station bits for brainstorming in my specific modding area?

I pointed VSMIT toward the name list I gave as possibly useful for BACKGROUND story. TBO I didn't actually READ my name list.

Have it end in "a" to make it female. Ships are always female.

That is a very American thing isn't it? Making male names female with an a is often weird sounding.

[Clavin12]

In names ending in "us" it isn't. Consider "Argus" - "Arga"

[VSMIT]

Or we could just not worry about it...

I'm voting for that one.

[sabrebattletank]

Have it end in "a" to make it female. Ships are always female.

It's not a marine vessel, it's a spaceship.

[Clavin12]

Whats the problem with making it end in "a"?

[iron maiden]

I'm going to put in my suggestion's, love 'em, or hate 'em

The Oddeyes[I know its spelled incorrectly] who battled his way through numerous beasts to get home
The Phoenix of Cerberus, because the dark planet was known as Cerberus, which became the new core, which became destroyed, and the scions have been able to get over this defeat
The Columbus, because the ship makes a new discovery of great importance.

[VSMIT]

Whats the problem with making it end in "a"?

The fact that we'd have to tailor every name we come up with to include the "a" at the end.  It's more work than it's worth.

AND IT DOESN'T MATTER.

[bigbadbogie]

The Columbus, because the ship makes a new discovery of great importance.

Or the Cook.

[VSMIT]

Why not the Magellan, then?

[AHadley]

Cerberus is too close to Cerberi.

Magellan is actually a pretty good suggestion. Reminds me of Aquanox, I'll have a look for ship names in that later.

In the English language, words and objects to not have gender. Roman uses -a and -us, but I'm not sure what Greek uses.

[Clavin12]

All the ones that N1 suggested ended in us and thus it made sense to make them end in a. If we make it an english name we'll have to change the name to the female version of the name.
