Base/Unit/Landmark Naming Thread

[Maniac]

I updated the first post with a list of suggestions.

[Snowflake]

You forgot Spambot Station One.

[Skanky Burns]

Method has requested the title "Secretary of Keeping the Rabid DBTSverse Bunnies at Bay".

[Kody]

Gah Method is catching up to me! Must find more positions.

[Googlie]

Captain Googlie shuffles from the Mess Tent and spots Civilian Kody lurking in the shadows. Pulls shredder pistol from holster:

Hey .... You, Freeze Just what do you think you are doing? Assume the Position

Uh ...... what position, Sir? mutters Kody

Harrumph - you mean there's more than one?

[Googlie]

(which in a perverted sort of way reminded me of the story of Rommel and the Camel in the Afrika Corps)

[Kody]

I wouldn't know the story of Rommel and the Camel in the Afrika Corps, but I have an idea what you mean.

Today was my first recon mission. I, as the rookie, was chosen to pilot the scout rover and investigate the surrounding areas.

As you're the pilot, I think this means you have the honour of baptizing our first troop of scout rovers. How would you like to call the unit?

[Andemagne]

here are some of the names that I have used during the years:

*Bases
Fort Sword
Fort Phalanx
Fort Kane
Fort Steel
Fort Unity
Fort Nova
Fort Edge
Fort Blade
Fort Dawn
Fort Superion
Fort Santiago
Fort Rifle
Fort Alpha/Alpha Sector
Out Post One
Ki's Rest
Ranger's Hideout
Wolf's Lair
Eagle's Nest
Spartan Stronghold
Helldann Freehold
Enochian Freehold

*Land Marks
Hunt Valley
Hommel's Isle
The Abyss
Helm's Deep
Mare Sirrion
Mare Courrain
Mare Tourbidus


I wouldn't mind naming all of the bases (except Sparta Command) Fort Something or Sector Something or Out Post Something. all in the same way I mean.


EDIT: and giving every unit its own name is a good idea too.

R-112 Corazon Recon Vehicle

I figure just keep it functional and militaristic, while honoring our leader. I open to any other suggestions.

[Andemagne]

*Bases
Fort Claw
Fort Fang
Fort Tiger
Fort Panther
Fort Lion
Fort Virtue

where do all these names come from?

[Andemagne]

*Bases
Fort Victory
Fort Shield
Fort Domination

[DeathByTheSword]

base names
deathbythesword!


for unit names:
just codes like f-21 and stuff are always nice. so i concur with that

[Googlie]

Garland Crater is just to the west of Sparta Command (and if we build Santiago Citadel on 58:18 it'll actually be on the side of the crater)

So do we need a Spartan type of name for that landmark, or are we happy to continue to honour the Captain?

[Maniac]

The captain in our story was called buster.
Also I think the Spartan rebels wouldn't be too fond of the Unity's captain.
So a rename seems commendable.
