May i suggest some non greek, roman or norse names?
How about we name our colonies after ancient cities with a "new" prefix and name the ships that get used there after the patron deity of that city? So a mining colony named New Ur gets a brand of freighter named Nanna and a shipyard on New Babylon may be our main source of Marduk class anything.

And if we ever get a new terraformer, i vote we name it Ki or Ninhursag.

The most common names for Terraformers seem to be Gaia and Genesis, while your idea has merrit, it will quickly become difficult to remember which class does what, so I think the whole demigod naming system works fine for now. May I suggest naming Terraformers after the Harvest god Ceres?

Because Armok Mk. 9001 sounds less imposing then just Armok.

But then we can say his power level is OVER 9000!!!1!!!one!

Bamp.

I checked this game out. Would have been happy to learn it but alas a 1024x768 resolution makes it unplayable.  If anything, the developer came across as being a bit self-centred in the posts on this topic.

We need to clone Toady, and transplant the clone brain into this developer's head.

And a pair of super battleships capable of cracking a planet like an egg named Thor and Mjolnir.

No - Thor should be the name of the ship, and Mjollnir the planet-decimating missile carried onboard.

No yet again. It's fucking spelled Mjǫllnir.

Ajax for a battleship name.

Nitpicking on the spelling of centuries old names from another language is silly; there are several ways to spell it and it can be pretty arbitrary when scholars choose which one to use.

It's Mjölnir in Icelandic, if that helps.

Actually, ø just reminds me of danish and therefore of lameness. No offense to the danish, but mandatory classes in a language I'll never even use aren't much fun

Also, Vikings. Fucking VIKINGS.

It's on hiatus because I'm swamped with work after coming back from vacation and I've been doing the /v/ fortress succession game (barely have time for that)
