Silly names

By SamTheJ, in X-Wing

So if the shuttle is the Albino space cow, and the transport is the Space Whale, do the VT-49 or the YT 2400 get any silly names too? For that matter, do any other ships? I know about squints,dupes, and eyeballs, but what about the other fighters?

I know there have been similar threads in the past, but I haven't seen any for wave 5.

Not sure about the new ships but I like giving my squads silly names like Garkey Farvander And Tycho Dreislander.

Maybe Slippy and the Space Bully?

Decimator should be the space rhino. Because of the ramming, and surprising mobility.

May give my VT a heavy wash. If I do, it becomes the black Nebulous Rhino.

I'm down with calling the VT the Rhino. I've been referring to the YTs as "Pancakes" (or, occasionally, "Frisbees") lately.

Rhino sounds good.

+1 for the Decimator as the "Rhino".

Also: I want a ship that eats up that much of my list to take out more than 10% of my enemy's force, you know?

The YT-2400 pretty much as to be the Donut. It's round, not good for you, and often has a hole in the middle.

VT-49 Pronghorn? Of course, with X-Wing's scarcity, "Rhino" might be more appropriate.

If I recall correctly, Defenders are called "Trips" and Advanceds are "Brights".

All the players in my community in Barcelona refer to the yt-2400 as the 'caracol' (which can mean both snail and seashell) as it resembles a shell... though it certainly doesn't move like a snail.

Rhino reminds me too much of a Smurf blue APC.

I think Shark...or puma.

...or Puma.

Can't help but hear the voice of Sarge from Red Vs. Blue -

"What in Sam Hell is a Puma?"

Its a type of mythical creature...

"Didn't I just tell you to stop making up animals!?!"

YTs = flapjacks

So you can call any build with them "Flapjack Attack"

I like the Sea Snail name for the 2400, I never saw that until you said it, but now I can't unsee it. I'm I fan of the Rhino for the VT - 49, although this seems more like a name for the build than the ship.

And that sir was the while point.

Glad you enjoyed it

I like Rhino. Elephant would work too. Or hippo. Or any large grey mammal.

The catch all pachyderm perhaps?

Heffalumps?

The VT is the only ship I think doesn't need a silly name. It's called a Decimator. That pretty well sums it up (Big O builds might get called Rhino though).

Chupa-thingy?

Now you've done it.. I now have to figure out what is gonna be the Woozles.. lol

My name for the VT-49 Decimator is the "Decimator" and my name for the YT-2400 is the "Outrider".

Crazy, huh? Really don't see why other names are needed.
