Does Anyone Else Enjoy Naming Their Builds?

By failedparachute, in X-Wing

Haha! I name all my squadrons so EVERYONE ELSE MUST DO SO TOO!

FYI you can see everyone else's names in the squadron lister — http://xwing-builder.co.uk/list — there's some corkers in there.

Truth be told, this is the sole reason I started naming lists -- otherwise I couldn't save them on this excellent squad builder.

I have a couple favorites. "High-Impact Torps" features Proton Torpedoes shot from Horton Salm that are boosted by Jan Ors. "Target of Opportunity" features Soontir Fel with Targeting Computer and a Saber Sq. Pilot with Opportunist.

But yeah, coming up with names can be tough because I don't want people to hate me :)

I call any build with Wedge and some unnamed pilots in it "Eat your Wedgetables". Because it really is time.

I name all my builds Steve .

What can I say... I like the name.

HAMMY!!! I didn't know you played X-Wing> How are things Over the Hedge?

Things are quite nice on this side of the hedge... c'mon over, were playing X-wing tonight! :)

And don't forget the snack and sugary, caffeinated beverages!

I do name my squads because I use the Voidstate builder. A friend was looking for a name for his list consisting of Howlrunner with Swarm Tactics and 5 empty Scimitar Squad TIE Bombers. I came up with the name Winchester. Why Winchester you ask? In Viet Nam Winchester was the code word American fliers would use to indicate they were out of ammo/ordinance. It seemed an appropriate name for the list.

I name all my builds Steve .

What can I say... I like the name.
