Technically the Fuhrer was all of those a great leader , a great artist and a great intellectual.

So he should definatly get his own ship.


Adolf Hitler was able to rally crowds, and that's it. He was neither a great leader nor an intellectual, as anyone can easily find out by having a closer look at "Mein Kampf" ... and applying paint to canvas does not make anyone an artist.
Hitler was a puppet that tore loose from its strings and went berserk.

And before anybody decides to raise the "he did an economic miracle" argument, I preemptively direct everybody to "Wages of Destruction". Hitler sent the German economy into an unsustainable downward spiral, kept afloat only by pillaging the countries he invaded. He payed companies with imaginary moneys, Mefo bills.

Needs moar Norse mythology names, like Ragnarök, Götterdämmerung (my favorite), Jörmungandr, Níðhöggr, Yggdrasil, etc.


You can't just name any old ship Gotterdammerung, even if it is a dreadnaught. That's gotta be reserved for something like the Death Star. 

Xenosaga did that, and I found the writing in that game pretentious. No need to hammer the player's head with endless foreshadowing and mythical references that mostly have no relevance to the game.

The names are fine in the game. No need for a reference to something ancient and mythical for the names. Sure names like Daedalus and Premotheus or Neptune sound great and are good names. I find it refreshing that they went the other way and used city names and other earth references like mountains and battles.

I like the names. They're not American like "U.S.S. George Bush", "Freedom" and "Independence". Still, if I had my own Alliance ship, I'd name it Enterprise in a heart beat.

I think the names fit perfectly. The Alliance represents all of humanity. The names represent different aspects of Earth as a whole. Makes sense to me.

 What I'd love to see would be Ships of the List. Ship names throughout history that had their names always active because of battle honors. 
Names like Victory, Constitution, and Temeraire that have deep history in naval warfare. Been reading a little too much CS Forrester and Honor Harrington perhaps. :whistle:

When it comes to destroyers and cruisers I would vary class to class like the Brits do. Important battles work for frigates but I'd adjust the dreadnought and carrier naming conventions.
