Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations

I rarely make threads. But today I decided to make one, to pose all my tiny issues with the current FO.

I would just like to remind everyone that this mods goodness overrules any faults I might perceive =).

Ship names and Registries:

I personally have started to notice that starships (Primarily Federation Ships) exist in the game with the same name on a different class.

E.G.

I have an Akira, Monsoon and Remore class U.S.S. Washington. (The only example I still have in Admirals Log) at exactly the same instant in time in my 40 ship Armada.

Now, this lead me to assume that every ship uses the same names database versus stock where each class had a range of names.

I'm sure this problem persists for the Klingons and Romulans as well.

For the Dominion, it is a moot point, since their names 'N Ship, N Fleet' work good in any situation.

Admirals Log itself:

(I know this has been brought up before)

With regards to 'battles' and 'Time line'. And occasionally ship effectiveness numbers in excess of 100000. Lol.

Yup, I second this... perhaps someone could check stations as well?

the admirals log thing is a stock A2 bug, that has simply been carried over to FO. I not sure if much, if anything, can be done about that.

Thats a good observation.

I had not knottiest it before.

It is on the Todo List, but as a very low-priority item. the game itself comes first ;)

As I recall, a low-priority list of ship names is in the works.  For a couple years.

the admirals log is fixable, but it's a plenty of work ... so the game comes first, then the stuff around it...

about the vessel names. if someone likes to compile a unique list of names with atleast 25 names for every single shipclass that is in fleet operations, feel free to do so and send them to me ;)

I will definitely do that! What format would you like them in and how would you like to receive them?

(And do I need to make a separate set for each avatar? or just for each type of ship?)

for each ship please :)
bit i fear 25 is a bit low, imagine 4 federation players building 6 saberes each (thats nothing to unusual) would end up wit a total of 24 names spent. arround 100 names would be more the way to go :) thats why we fused the name lists into one

I think Startrek-online.net has a huge ship database, might make compiling the list easier.

Alright, almost got my 100 names for the Sabre Class Done =). I'm thinking of only doing 50 names for each of the Warp-in ships  though.

-Edit

Sabre and Monsoon done!

Can someone post a name of all the Federation ships for easy reference? :(

Well done Rhaz!   :thumbsup:

THANKS! <3


Optec is right, names are harder and harder to find as one goes.

So Far.

Intrepid 100/100 names.
Sabre 100/100 names.
Monsoon 100/100 names.
Canaveral 50/50 names.
Akira 10/100 names.

I've decided to do 50 names for rare ships.

(Avatar, Warp-in, Construction, Newton, Canaveral and Scout)

100 Names for Combat ships and Miners.

(Sabre, Monsoon, Intrepid, Akira, Excelsior II, Sovereign, Remore (Rare, but gaining popularity) and Defiant).

USS proteggere Italian for protect.

USS estallo spanish for flare.

USS kyoto Japanese a location.

USS Frieden well you know.

USS Veilig dutch for safety.

A few new ones.

Looking forward to the names :)

...not to mention a couple of other ones  :lol:

Lol yes, I threw in a few funny ones =) to see if you'd notice, lol.

Oh my goodness. You have my eternal gratitude, for putting in the "USS Saskatchewan". I love u for it. Go Canada, go SK!

Here are some 'big ship' names (I think they could be used for Sovereigns and Descents primarily):

1: USS Hera
2: USS Ranger
3: USS Monitor
4: USS Paris
5: USS London
6: USS Farragut

14: USS Antares
15: USS Star League
16: USS Milky Way
17: USS Universe
18: USS Sydney
19: USS Essex
20: USS Athena

Here are some more 'big ship' names that Rhaz already used, but I think would be better on larger ships than the ones he posted:

1: USS Majestic
2: USS Titan or Titanic
3: USS Mars
4: USS Olympia, Olympus or Olympic (though this name might be good for a construction ship too)

Here are some 'heavy cruiser' names (for the Nebula and Excelsior-II):

1: USS Hecate
2: USS Agincourt
3: USS Torino
4: USS Beijing
5: USS Oxford
6: USS Melbourne
7: USS Rome
8: USS Adelaide
9: USS Brisbane
10: USS Seattle
11: USS Perth
12: USS Everest
13: USS Moscow
14: USS Leipzig
15: USS Hastings

Some Avalon class names:

1: USS Sparta
2: USS Tikal
3: USS Bristol
4: USS Cyrus
5: USS Babylon
6: USS Mexico City
7: USS Reliant
8: USS America
9: USS Europe
10: USS Asia
11: USS Australia
12: USS Antartica
13: USS Africa
14: USS Tokyo
15: USS Canberra

Some Defiant class names:

1: USS Paladin
2: USS Crusader

Some Phalanx class names:

1: USS Providence
2: USS Malestrom

8: USS Charon
9: USS Nix
10: USS Hydra

Some Galaxy class names:

1: USS Cook
2: USS Liberty

And some Steamrunner class names:

1: USS Uluru (not USS Ares Rock!!!)
2: USS Kosciusko
3: USS Ballista
4: USS Trebuchet
5: USS Crossbow
6: USS Gladius
7: USS Legionary
8: USS Hobart
9: USS Launceston
10: USS Cairns
11: USS Broome
12: USS Pascal
13: USS Venus
14: USS Bass
15: USS Flinders

I apologise if I used some names that Rahz already used. At first I was searching each name to make sure he hadn't but after I while I couldn't be bothered anymore... :sweatdrop:

I also apologise if the lists are slightly Australia-centric... :sweatdrop:

One more thing, I propose that, to make our lives easier, maybe Venture class ships (which are really jsut tiny scout shuttles) shouldn't get their own names. I know runabouts got their own names, but I'd rather save names like Venture, Halifax, Piccadilly, Crusoe and Columbus for the larger ships (I think those last two would make good names for Miranda-II class ships). Maybe they shouldn't just be called 'scout unit X' or something...

I'll have some more names soon...

I'm particularly fond of the USS Lazarus. I hope they program it to have lots of torpedoes.

Here are some further suggestions, probably best suited to very large vessels:

USS Faberge Egg
USS Discombobulation
USS Beaver-Fever
USS Bamboozle
USS Dubloons
USS Frick
USS Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia
USS G-Dammit
USS Badonkadonk
USS Shmegegi
USS Noodle Soup
USS Pantywaist
USS Gongoozler
USS Turd Burglar
USS Bartman
USS Bush
USS Glibido
USS Tasty Wheat
USS Kidney
USS Cavity
USS Whizbang
USS Metamorphosis
USS Kittywompus.

And lest we forget...

USS Poland

Do I win? :lol:

USS GreatWork
 :sweatdrop:

Nice going  :D If I had been less lazy I would have joined in too  :whistling:

Now, how are we gonna organize the ones I made that weren't BS and everyone elses? I can spew out names if you can pick what ship they go with ;).

Hmmm, maybe Doca could create a thread that has specific ways of organizing and adding this data ... such as a column for Sabres, a column for Sovereigns.... you get the idea ^-^

 USS Che Guevara would kick @$$

USS Josef Mengele?!  You do know who he was, right?  :ermm:

Anyways, I'll give you a teaser of some of  my (serious non-joking) names.

So far I have the Descent, Avalon, Excelsior II, Canaveral, and Venture lists done.

Pick one and I'll share it.

-update-

Norway's done, Phalanx is on the way.

Well, it makes about as much sense as the canon USS Cortez... :pinch:

Well, I guess we'll start with the Descent list...

comparing Mengele with Cortez is very thin ice. I'm aware that Cortez was the doombringer to the aztec empire; also note that asking Aunt Wikipedia about "Cortez" yields more than one result for famous person. It could be that poet too :p

I never said there was any comparison... I just meant that Rhaz inlcuding that guy in his list (which is my no means set in stone let me remind you) made about as much sense as an actual Star Trek author calling a canon ship Cortez, presumably after the conquistador and not someone else... That's what I was getting at... People don't seem to know how to name Trek ships... :sweatdrop:

Well, Cortez was a military man, not a sick bastard conducting horrible "experiments" on women and children in the name of "science"...

I doubt Starfleet would even name a garbage scow after him.

I never said they would... :pinch:

In an ironic twist, I never said you said they would, I simply pointed out a fact.

I've always been a fan of themes, such as river names for Runabouts. You should be able to tell what class of ship it (might) be from its name. For example, I think that the naming of Nebula class ships after scientists started as far back as A1. I dont think its quite that strict in canon, but there's nothing to stop us trying it for some classes.

Hmmm..   :detective:

They're all socialists? :P

It's certainly possible, but I tried to make a purely random selection  :whistling: .

I know it was a joke list, but a lot of those names would actually be pretty good...

USS Commonwealth

USS S. Hawking (though in the Star Trek timeline he may have gotten mixed up in the ugenics wars, which would probably make him a bad choice to name a ship after)

USS R. Dawkins (though, again, in the Star Trek timeline he may have been invovled in the ugenics wars, which would probably make him a bad choice)

USS Magna Carta (given that it was such a pivotal document)

USS Oxford (this has long been one of my favorite names for a Nebula class)

USS Cambridge

USS Shakespeare

USS A. C. Doyle

USS C. Dickens (you left off the 's')

USS J. Austen

USS B. Russel

USS A. Smith

USS I. Newton

USS H. G. Wells

USS A. G. Bell

USS J. C. Maxwell

USS D. H. Lawrence (you spelled it wrong)

USS C. Darwin

USS A. Turing

USS F. Crick (though again, he may have gotten mixed up in the ugenics wars in the Trek timeline)

USS T. B. Lee

Did I miss anything? B)

Sorry for this  :lol:
Eugenics  :thumbsup:
Darn it, I hate when my ob-com-esque mind does that :sweatdrop:

Oh, close enough.... :sweatdrop:

Yeah you're right, many of them do fit in with the way Starfleet ships are usually named, and it's probably no surprise that the suitable ones would be the names of prominent people, since it seems to be a common way of naming a ship, e.g. the modern Nimitz class aircraft carriers are named after US presidents (I think, except for the Enterprise of course, that's named after... I'm not sure what it's named after!).

Enterprise ain't a Nimitz.  That explains the discrepancy.

*update*

Upon checking, it's actually Enterprise-class, a one-off design.

And its name is continuing the lineage of at least six ships in the past, when names were chosen more arbitrarily.

Also, the definition (or, at least, one definition) of "Enterprise" is "a purposeful or industrious undertaking", putting "Enterprise" in the same league as names like "Endeavour" or "Illustrious"...

Ships have never been named "arbitrarily". A lot of thought has always gone into such things, until recently. Names like Enterprise are very traditional, where the name is based on ideals, including Enterprise, Victory, Endeavour, Hope... Some such names have fallen out of use, but others, like Enterprise, are still there.

Yep. Enterprise. Long live Capitalism!

I'll second that. Even though at this rate we're gonna end up with our own Ferengi Alliance by the 24th century.  ^-^

Maybe we shouldn't dismiss the idea!

The 34th rule of aquisition....  :D

"Arbitrarily" as in less confined by strict naming schemes (i.e. presidents of the united states, words starting with certain letters, species of fish...).  I wasn't implying that ships were named without reason.

I always assumed they built ships in batches, and ships in the same batch would have similar names (so one batch will be named after capitals, then the next after countries, a third after states/provinces etc)

A couple of ideas:

Surya <- I've heard somewhere that its Sanskrit for "Sun"
Zedong <- I've always felt the federation has a slight communist feel to it, so it might work, and it would be nice to see some famous non-western names and themes in the game (the federation is meant to be a worldwide alliance after all, right?).
Liberator
Endearing
Protector
Patreaus <- American General
Abrams <- American General
Harbhajan <- Famous Sikh warrior
Indefatigable <- Old British ship name. Means "untiring".
Highlander <- old scottish warriors (and some crazy dude with a sword :lol:)
Immortal <- Ancient Persian elites
Sparta
Spartan
Leonidas
Samurai
Shinto
Men-Shen <- An ancient Chinese protective demon
Oni <- Japanese word for demon
Tengu <- Type of Japanese demon
Kitsune <- Another type of Japan demon
Shogun <- would be great for a capital ship
Katana <- Japanese sword
Wakizashi <- another japanese sword
Tanto <- ...and another...
Komodo <- big Aisian lizard thing

Guess what inspired these ones :lol:...
Autumn
Amber
Dawn
Warthog
Scorpion
Mongoose
Ghost
