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

I believe two comply: WarHog and Razorback are both essentially Pigs.

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.
