There are other things that fly besides birds. But yeah, the typing does limit it. However, we have barely scratched the surface of things that fly.

Re: Jumpgate Evolutions Octavius Light Fighter to be Named by Joystick Required.
Since most ppl had already thought of the first 10 things that came to me, i decided latin was gonna be my reference point.
Sooo..... Accipitrine (ak-sip-i-treen) : Of the Raptor Family Praeda : Predatory Volanvora (Volan - Vora) : Flying + Devour We're my suggestions. |

Re: Jumpgate Evolutions Octavius Light Fighter to be Named by Joystick Required.
I had a lot typed out and narrowed it down to my 3 favs. I'm happy to see that other folks have mentioned my most of others. Though I guess there aren't that many cool sounding bird=spaceship names.
My 3: Merlin Kite Shrike My others (if someone wins with one, congrats on being smarter than me to choose it): Falco and Falcon (someone had Falconae already but has edited it out). Harrier SparrowHawk Osprey Aquilae (plural of Latin "eagle" but who doesn't just love extraneous use of the ae) Other ideas I didn't use (up for grabs): Accipter Caracara Milvargo Harpy |

Re: Jumpgate Evolutions Octavius Light Fighter to be Named by Joystick Required.
Since all of our active members that seem interested in this have posted, we will be loosing up the restrictions on Friday. So get your entries in before then. On Friday we will open it up to any registered member. However, only one submission will then be allowed. The category may be squeezed dry but I am sure there are a few more good choices out there.

Re: Jumpgate Evolutions Octavius Light Fighter to be Named by Joystick Required.
My entries were: Crow, Corone, Harpy
Considering it's a light fighter, I wanted something that reflected somewhat to its role of power in numbers, buzzing in and out taking potshots, picking off stragglers and half-dead, and just being general pests. Crows are known for their habits of travelling in flocks and harrassing other birds and animals. They are scavengers, carrion eaters and predators of opportunity. Corone is the latin name for the carrion crow. Harpies: "...they were agents of punishment who abducted people and tortured them on their way to Tartarus (think Hell). They were vicious, cruel and violent. They were usually seen as the personifications of the destructive nature of wind." |
