can we please call the mc30 a squid

By DarkenAvatar, in Star Wars: Armada

look at it its clearly modeled after a squid, its not a shrimp. who ever came up with that probably hadn't ever held the model. Lets do this people.

No. I'm going to paint it orange and put two plastic whiskers on mine.

Its called a shrimp because its a tiny version of the MC80. If anything, the MC80 is a squid....or sea cucumber.

Nope, gotta be a Shrimp. We're running a campaign where I've got three CR90s: the Larry , Curly , and Moe . Just earned enough XP to add a MC30 to that fleet, so it's none other than the SKS Shemp Shrimp . "Shemp Squid" doesn't have the same ring to it.

I'm up for calling anything a squid. Squid30 and Squid80!

shrimp's stuck, sorry

better than "Chirpy"

also, perfect excuse to model little mustache whiskers

MC80 Squid, MC30 Shrimp, ASmk2 Space Guppy. I'm already set in my ways.

shrimp, squid, fish, whale, guppy, whatever

Doesn't matter to me!

you can call what ever you want but sorry unless you call it a shrimp or a MC30 no one will know what your talking about.

and I'm also sorry but space turd has stuck to the MC80 like brown on poo. :D

I'll take space turd over the flying vibrator

I don't know. I think there is a very strong shrimp like vibe here. Take a look:

If it makes you feel better, think of it as a Prawn. King Prawn

No tentacles? No squid.

Well, if we're going by the pictures, add you had to add was tentacles to an already established squid base. I think the pictures just proved that it's a squid.

I did my 5th grade research paper on squids. They're awesome.

MC80 is far too much like a squid for the 30 to take the title.

Besides, "Shrimp Cocktail" is far too great a list title to pass up.

"shrimp" also alludes to the size difference between the two mon cals

"Shrimp" also sounds funnier if you say it like Bubba. Shreeyump.

Even with the tentacle drawn in it really does not look like a squid.

That's because he drew it on the wrong end.

Whaaaa? But the tail is a perfect tail....

Hmmm, I think I see what you're saying...

What does that make the fighters? Plankton?

Guys, you're all crazy, the OP is right - the MC30 does look like a squid (with the the tentacles on the right end, although I don't think they need drawing on, they're the engine bit) and more importantly the MC80 looks nothing like one!

Also, what's a guppy?

I just want a space catfish...

And how can you take away an Imperial commander's chance to say "throw another shrimp on the bar-b" when he blows one up.
