LOL, Sachmo, we could take this one step forward and design an alien race that designates it's vessels after things your wife says to you..

Cue orchestral fanfare as the mighty battlefleet of the Nagan-Moan Alliance warps into normal space. Squadrons of 'Ooh, you've left the loo seat up again' destroyers sweep on the flanks, serried ranks of 'That bin wont go out on its own' light cruisers and 'Why am I the only one who unstacks the dishwasher' class cruisers form the bulk of the fleet and the mighty 'You dont appreciate me' class battlecruisers are only dwarfed by the fleet flagship, a powerful 'I should have listened to my mother' class dreadnought

Now you are getting it!
"You will tremble in fear when the "Eat your Brussel Sprouts!" Class drednoughts darken the skys over your puny world!"

Actually, the names I used were actual ship names from the Cultures series, and are in the design name file that I uploaded. Last night I was messing around with it, and more than once I laughed out loud at the names that came up. The "Irresistable Object" Class Escort, and the "Nasty Brutal and Short" Class Destroyers had me wetting myself!

Tigga,

The idea of naming ships using phrases such as comments by the wife or other inane statements is very enticing.

I also love the idea of using Gourmet recipes as the name for classes of ships. The Prime Rib of Beef class of Dreadnoughts immediately comes to mind.

Hmmmmmmmmm........

When my wife lets me play the game again, next Tuesday at the earliest ((((, I will most assuredly use a newer naming scheme.

Cheers!

Trajan, dont let the side down by insinuating that you are anything less than a gourmand!

Prime rib of beef my arse, I would expect you to be fielding 'Fillet Steak Morroccan with rosemary jus, shallot julienne, served on a bed of jewelled couscous with a thia spiced tzatziki, cracked szechuan peppers and a glass of ice cold Chateau De Routon Chablis" class light cruisers (2nd refit)

[Trajan]

I will, unfortunately, have to wait until tomorrow to get the names together for an appropriate list. The job is kicking my Old Dead Roman Emperor arse right about now.

Stay tuned...I will post an appropriate menu...erm..I mean ship name list.

Cheers!
Trajan

GT, where did you get that Adunaic names file? Was it the one I had uploaded a while ago?

[Growltigga]

Fyron, it was one I downloaded from the Tolkien Society (of which I am a proud member and which I am proud to announce, now the current Mrs GT has gone to bed, myself and the various male members of my clan are about to go and watch my new 'Lord of the Rings' DVD on my new wide screen B&O TV)

I saw the one you did early on, I thought that is where you had got it from too

[Fyron]

Nah, it was from a random names generator I had found for use with D&D.
