Loch Linux (for that inland body of water - or Linux Lake)

We also have a river and a mountain (or ridge, can't see the other side yet) to name. Any ideas?

For the mountain, I thought "The Height of Logic"

[Maniac]

for that inland body of water

Oh, it's a lake! Thanks for the suggestions btw - I like Loch Linux.
Another suggestion for a mountain: Ben Byte

[Googlie]

Not that one, that one

Way to go Googlie

i like some of the default sea base names:
Gamma Breakwater
Alpha Basin
Delta Trench (though possibly for some ocean trench )

Eta Ridge (ripped off from default base names - works for pholus ridge though)

(no, the following aren't ripped off from a newtork node custom faction )
Serenity Hall
Collective Mind
Collective Conciousness

[Maniac]

Drogue, is it Zetaria or Zetaris, and Akiria or Akiris you want in a next poll? Or should all four be included?

[Drogue]

Not all 4, because that will split votes too much IMHO, which of the 2 in each set do you think is better? I would go for Akiria and Zetaris, but then I am a little biased Pick one of each (preferably with different suffixes).

Ahh, base/landmark suggestions, time for the corny CS jokes

For a mineral intensive base, or maybe the crater:
Core Dump

If there were fault lines or that unused valley landmark:
Segmentation Fault (if too long: Seg Fault)

Two bases on opposite ends of our colony:
The Heap
and
The Stack

Any ol' base:
Gamma Ceti Ceti
Gamma Delta Beta
Recursive Nirvana
/usr/bin/EvilPlan
TheUOPSucks ( , j/k )

Non-CS-joke base names:
DBTSverse Portal (It was suggested, but I must suggest it again!)
Deidre's Network Node (probably too long, shorten to Deidre's Node?)

They're all good, but these 2 especially EvilPlan will have to be used, as a big production base in case we want a couple of PBs, just in case The UoPSucks should be the first captured UoP base (and there will be many of those )

Deirdre's Nodes

[Googlie]

and adjacent to Deirdre's Nodes could be:

Morgan's Metempsychosis and Lal's Lobotomy

[Corellion]

Yang's Yang

[Maniac]

Just checking to be sure : Are these names just jokes, or should I include "TheUoPSucks", "Deirdre's Nodes", "Yang's Yang" to the list.

In any case. I suggest "Archaic Aftermath" as another captured UoP base name.

Twinned with Yang's Ying?

[Drogue]

Maniac: The UoP ones are for captured bases, so not yet. I would say no ATM. Archaic's Aftermath gets my vote for a captures UoP base. Hive ones, Yang's Yang and Yang's Ying seem great
