Originally by: Lythius Arcturnus I want the Raven T2 to be "Platipus"!
Being able to say "Yeah, I smoked that guy in my Platipus" is the very definition of style!
Except, their ships are named after birds, and a Platipus is a mammal.

Or IS it..?
No, no wait it is. I think...
And if they don't name their ships after mammals, what the hell is a Caracal? A mammal! Badger? Mammal! Scorpion? Um... insect? Who cares. Point stands. ---------------- Haha, stupid monkey! Now I'VE got the Oscar! Enjoy your worthless gun! |

Edited by: Booju on 04/05/2005 15:50:05 Well, so far the Amarr T2 names tend to be all religious and stuff, Amarr ones having the "nice" name and the Khanid version the bad one. So I imagine the names will be something like:
Armageddon (Amarr) - Judgement Apocolypse (Khanid) - Blashpemy or Blasphemer
Minmatar tend to be a mixed bag, although I'd like for the Tempest T2 to have a cool dog name, like Pitbull or Mastiff. God only knows what they'd call the Typhoon, I'm thinking the Hobo to fit with the Vagabond :P
And the T2 Scorpion neeeeds a cool snake name, I like Diamondback personally.

Scorpion - Rook
Rooks being intelligent birds, much like Blackbirds, it fits in with the EW/Caldari theme.

Edited by: Aion Amarra on 04/05/2005 16:43:06 Hum.
Armageddon: Ragnarok Apocalypse: Genocide (Because one Amarr ship just has to be named like this. O_o)
Raven: Roc, Phoenix, Nighthawk. Dunno Scorpion: Dunno. Is there already a 'Cobra' ingame? That or Tarantula, because I can't think of anything better.
Megathron: Dunno. I always wanted a big ship named 'Daybreak'. The Megathron is cool, so I'd go with it. But Daybreak doesn't really fit the Gallente, so nevermind. I still like it, though. Dominix: Charybdis. Or Locust, because Drones come in swarms. And eat you. Or something.
Tempest/Typhoon: Blizzard, Hailstorm, Maelstrom. (Interchangeable since I couldn't decide on any of them for either of them.)

Edited by: s4mp3r0r on 04/05/2005 17:10:47 Raven: i like dragon, mebbe shark ? Scorpion: again shark, or anything else on top of foodchains, i thought about piranha, but it's not so tough, it being a little fishy and all.
Armageddon: judgement Apocalypse: Massacre (has this been mentioned ? isnt there a ship named that already?), would go well with the MASS-theme?
Megathron: Optimus ??? (Would be insanely funny) Dominix: I like locust, mebbe something along the line of winning, pwning. How about just simple ? BBQ. "Hey man, im 3 days away from flying my brand new BBQ."
Tempest/Typhoon: I like Maelstrom. Mebbe think more weathery names/natural disaster names : blizzard, avalanch, erruption, volcano. I like avalanch the best from these last 4.
Edit for spelling : don't type while sick.

Typhoon means some sort of a hurricane or some so why not name t2 one hurricane

I think I will go for a more serious suggestion including an explanation which may get close to OOC (if I violated some forum rules then I apologize):
I disagree that Ragnarok or Holocaust fit into the Armageddon/Apocalypse model of thinking, Holocaust has no relation to a battle but means merely bringing a burning sacrifice to a deity, Ragnar÷k roughly translates to the Fate of Gods,considering that Amarr follow a monotheist religion it does not fit. Apocalypse translates to Revelation or directly too discovery/disclosure. Armageddon means Mount Geddon referring to a battle at Mt.Geddon. As you can see the two words are related but only one refers to some epic-scaled battle. I will stop here with going offtopic. 
Since there is hardly a possible increase to Armageddon/Apocalypse I suggest to follow the "step after" model here.
So:
Armageddon: - Hades Apocalypse: - Archangel ---- A true player does feel no need to remind himself or fellow players that it is just a game. |

Hmmm, largely correct but Ragnarok is the final battle of Norse religion which is pretty much in line with Armageddon and Apocalypse. Which leads me to think it'd be better for a tier III Amarr BS.
If they decide to branch out into more areas of mythology the Gallente are sorted, heck, all you've got to do is look at Final Fantasy, they've done all that allready  .+ (_) Fetch the holy hand grenade |

It's a reference to events during biblical times, oftentimes they used words that sound all mystical today, but back then were merely a metaphor.
You can also find reference to Gehenna in the bible, there it's synonymus with hell, but in biblical times it was an acctual place. Gehenna was a garbage dump outside of Bethlehem that was constantly smoldering when the gases that were set free by the decaying garbage cought fire, and it was a common punishment for criminals to execute them and throw their bodies in that burning garbage pile - hence the expression "cast into gehenna" which at first meant throwing someone body into a burning heap of garbage, but then became a metaphor for what happens after a sinner dies...

Armageddon (which means 'Mount Megiddo') is not the end of the world (pun excused), it is the battle AT the end of the world. They happen at the same time, but they aren't the same thing. ---------------- Haha, stupid monkey! Now I'VE got the Oscar! Enjoy your worthless gun! |

Edited by: K5K AnimalMother on 04/05/2005 20:20:21 It appears that the Amarr Battleships have to do with Revelation.
So either name the Tech 2 version of the Apocalypse the "Revelation" or I like these as stated in the Thesaurus for either Armageddon or Apocalypse.

Whoops, so it is.
Revised suggestions (swiping other people's good suggestions): Caldari ("nature" names): Raven -> Albatross, Phoenix, Shrike Scorpion -> Tarantula, Huntsman, Recluse
Minmatar ("storm" names): Tempest -> Tsunami Typhoon -> Maelstrom
Amarr ("religious" names): Apocalypse -> Ragnarok Armageddon -> Apollyon (see Revelation in the Bible)
Gallante ("mythology" names): Megathron -> Atropos, Lachesis, Valkyrie Dominix -> Siryn, Minotaur, Phobos, Lillim (see the legend of Lillith and her thousand children) _______________________________________________ There is no such thing as too much cynicism
