Velocity class?

Just some random neuron firing I suppose. From Velociraptor (sp)?

There's always Starforce class... :arms:

Perhaps class names of birds of prey and an overall class name of Talon to match the aggressive and majestic look of the ship.

The ship is really a sturdy battlecruiser.  i'd like something appropriate to that.  Good suggestions so far, but not quite what I'm looking for.

Hmm battlecruisers.

How about the Invincible class? After the world's first battlecruisers. Ship names could include Invincible, Indomitable, Indefatigable, Renown, Repulse, Hood, Sharnhorst, Dunkerque, Kong?, Tiger, and Kirov.

All those ships have been described as battlecruisers and cover a period from the early 20th century to the present day.

Iron Eater?
Shield?




Morning Star!
You know, it's one of those spiked, sturdy, clubs.
There is also the flail, which is also sturdy, but in Dutch it has a much nicer name, a "Goedendag", or translated: "Good Day". ;)

Ironsides class
if you want to name it after a state, missouri is out but maybe Arizona?

Picard class?
Challenger class
Dreadnought class
indomitable (sp)

hmm, somehow i like names out of the greek mythology, and since you said this is a battlecruiser
here are my suggestions:

Ares, Ares is the Olympian god of warfare, though i think there is already a ship named that on bcfiles....

Tartaros or Tartarus, Tartaros is in the greek mythology something like the underworld

Erobus, or Erobos http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erebus

Pentheus, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentheus or

Echion, Echion was a Argonaut, look here to adapt more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentheus

Just some suggestions :wink:, btw, the ship looks great :D
