I'm thinking here, of naming classes after WW2 ships...

Liberty

Gunboat-------- Fletcher Class
Siege Cruiser -------- Atlanta Class
Battle Cruiser -------- Alaska Class Battlecruiser
Dread -------- Iowa Class
Carrier -------- Yorktown Class

Bretonia

Gunboat -------- Revenge Class
Cruiser -------- Repulse Class
Battleship -------- Hood Class

Kusari

Gunboat -------- Nagato Class
Cruiser -------- Mogami Class
Battlecruiser -------- Mikasa Class
Battleship -------- Yamato CLass

Rheinland

Gunboat -------- Prinz Eugen Class
Cruiser -------- Tirpitz Class
Battleship -------- Bismark Class


*shrug* just some names of ships I can think of off hand.


I’ll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it’s flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

Bretonia:

"Manta ray" Class Bretonian Gunboat
"London" Class Bretonian Cruiser
"Dunkirk" Class Bretonian Battleship*

*According to current Bretonian Lore, the Dunkirk class battleship is the current battleship class.

Liberty

Based off modern day ship classes currently in service

Gunboat - Sachsen

I read your first one, and stopped reading.

The Sachsen class is a frigate and replaced Lut-something class destroyers. They also belong to Germany, which is represented by Rheinland in FL. Why would Liberty name their classline after a pre-historic Rheinland state? (According to the FL timeline.)

Anyway, I better get onto it. Watch this space?

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

' Wrote:Ten trillion credit prize to whoever comes up with the best naming convention for the Liberty, Bretonia, Kusari and Rheinland cap line.

Starting at gunboat and going up to BS.

Runner up prizes: 18 defilers. 28 billion credits. 3 cap 8s. Instant approval for any faction request. Inclusion in the admins are biased in your favor club (the new conspiracy theory for the hip disco member).
Go go go! Because I'm sure some of you have better ideas than I do.

I believe they should hold some sort of political weight. Good for RP, instils some form of "pride." Liberty's is the plainest of my suggestions, so bear with me below:

Liberty :: Birds of prey
(Military Dictatorship)

Gunboat - Buzzard
Siege Cruiser - Falcon
Battle Cruiser - Harrier
Dread - Raptor
Carrier - Osprey

Bretonia :: Scaling economic justification
(Imperial UK)

Gunboat - Influence
Cruiser - Dominance
Battleship - Empire

Kusari :: Culture-driven ideas
(Xenophobia)

Gunboat - Kyouka (Indoctrination)
Cruiser - Shinjin (Faith)
Battlecruiser - Tanren (Discipline)
Battleship - Seiji-ryoku (Political strength)

Rheinland :: Nationalism
(Propaganda)

Gunboat - Volkisch (Populism)
Cruiser - Souveranitat (Sovereignty)
Battleship - Chauvinismus (Jingoism)


... all of the above names should be X-class warship.
X being the name, of course.

Here are my ideas:

For Liberty I thought about medieval weapons:

Liberty

Gunboat - Spear / Harpoon
Siege Cruiser - Blade
Battle Cruiser - Axe
Dread - Warhammer
Carrier - Bulwark

For Bretaonia I thought about making them similar to the fighters:

Bretonia

Gunboat - Knight
Cruiser - Saviour
Battleship - Citadel

Some mythological creatures here:

Kusari

Gunboat - Gargoyle
Cruiser that pretends to be a gunboat - Centaur
Battlecruiser - Daemon
Battleship - Wyvern

For ze Rheinland I thought about making it similar to the fighters' name, but "greater":

Rheinland

Gunboat - Vernichtung (Demolition)
Cruiser - Verfall (Decay)
Battleship - Unheil (Disaster)
