Borderworld Series U

[ioha]

I proposed Zweihaender, because the ship looks like a heavier version of the Sabre (albiet, slightly). Fencing weapons don't really seem to fit any more.

Actually, a Flamberg ain't no fencing weapon at all. It's two-handed, special Bihaender, used in defensive fights. It's blade used to be up to 1,5 meters long - which qualifies as 'huge', I'd say.

Alternatively, you could name it 'Flambard' or 'Flammard', both synonyms for a Flamberg.

Edit: Actually, Virus is right about the name being general... just a question: is Freelancer capable of displaying umlauts? The German version sure is, but I'm not sure about the English version.

What's so great about Zweihaender? It doesn't stand in relation to the rest of Line. A Zweihaender is a very large weapons Knight used, while the others were rather used for fencing. Zweihaender doesn't sound that well even when you're german...
At least not for ship...

I propose naming it Scimitar and rename the dagger replica could be foil....

That bit was responding to this. I realize my post was all over the place. Heh.

I just noticed there are some mistakes in my post. Thanks Virus.
My problem is: I think Zweihaender just doesn't sound that well. At least if you're german. It's like naming a ship "wheelchair" just because it seems to sound good...

Why not Flamberg? It seams to be a similar weapon (refering to Sleipnirs posts it's actually nearly the same) but the name sounds much more exceptional/ less common. Zweihaender mostly refers to the way you wield that weapon... So naming it "Zweihaender" sounds in German like naming it "two-handed weapon" in English.
I think there's a reason why the sabre is a "sabre" and not a "saber".:)

Flamberg would be a good choice, as it's nearly the same as a Zweihaender but has a much mor interesting name...

Between the two, I'd go with Flamberg. It just sounds more like a ship name to me.

[McNeo]

I vote for the Zweihander. I like that name a lot...

[Nightwind]

My vote goes to Flamberg...
Zweihaender just sounds too common for me. And it should be written with umlaut...

[El Nino]

How about a Falchion? It's a very much Scmitar, Sabre like curved blade held in two hands... A huge curved blade...

Noooo... it sounds too french. Don't do that! *makes gagging noises

There is a lot of untapped creativity here... let's kick it into high gear folks. It is a Rhineland ship, let's at least keep it in the spirit of the people it represents, eh? Falchion... my afterburner.

Take care,

Acid
