Just FYI

I ended up canning that old PMT Ashkera, since it wasn't really different enough from the main Ashkera. However, a different PMT Ashkera makes an appearance in Unitatem 2086.

Nayba Collective is just a lot more fun as a PMT nation, IMO.

I've not played FT Ashkera in any RP for long, even though I like the concept.

I actually really like what you've done with Nayba. Very creative, how incongruous it is.

Naming space ships after cool people and internet memes is sooo outdated. I mean, I still remember the al-Assad engaging Atomic Utopian forces in Earth orbit.

Besides, the Synkom has so many of them a name has been severely devalued.

So, what should I name after the aforementioned subjects? Elite units? Mobile task forces? Tetraphysical manipulation platforms (not like they're rare either)?

Well, for real-world ships, the pecking order is Corvette, Frigate, Destroyer, Cruiser, Battleship, Carrier (with about thirty different specialist ship types in between, like Minesweeper, Air Defence Corvette and Supercarrier).

I didn't say I was explicitly using an order of any kind nor was I looking for it.

I meant things to name with internet memes and the sort.

Not true. Bigger ships = more firepower and complement ships = more death and destruction = more fun.

Bigger ships are also so over-the-top so as to become boring.

The Atlantis-class FFs are pretty boring and not hugely useful, and the Ouranos is only cool because it is (within my canon) new, one-of-a-kind, and motherfucking flies.

High-power for cool only works if it's punctuated rather than the entire dish. If you eat ice cream for breakfast every day, you'll get tired of it (and also get Diabeetus.)

Cool is mostly about social status and stuff like that, and one of the keys to that sort of thing is rarity. However, it also applies to writing. I mean, you know how it's a problem for MMOs and stuff, right?

Once there are too many universe-scale mega-dreadnoughts, it pays to be a hipster and go make Space Belgium instead.
