Anyone fancy suggesting a name or two or three for my game? It is set in space, and as with all space combat games I need a big selection of weapons with silly names. Well, not intentionally silly. I need names for: - lots and lots of sorts of lasers - a few sorts of missiles - a few sorts of torpedos - a few sorts of countermeasures All suggestions considered. Thanks, James www.hcstreet.f2s.com/galaxyhack

If you're going to be critique, be as harsh as you'd like. If you're going to help, help as much as you want. But if you're going to be a jackass, go away.

Sorry, but I am terrible at thinking up humerous nicknames, but I''ll give it a shot:

1. H.E.D.S. (High Energy Distortion Stream, nicknamed Burnt Bob), Emperiad 9 (Low energy expendure, sustained fire, Aka Desperate Fool), Charon 4 (High energy expendure, Infrared, called SNIPER)

2. Um, Heckfire. Handheld variation of the Hellfire missile.

3. Hyrsaw (Have you realized ships are weak? Basicly a torpedo inside a larger torperdo)

4. Asylum Screen (magnetic field generator. Named after an insane man who build it and said it would overthrow the ultimate evil, AKA asylums)
Ultimate Evil (System of nanobots who break down anything left by enemy assualts, and then reconstruct them into kamikaze drones. Named after moron who built the asylum screen)

that page doesnt create names i would envision in a game

My suggestion - get into the realm of ConLang-ing and you will never be short of ideas.

Last anonymous poster: Those were really damn good ideas. I especially love your countermeasures.

Some ideas of mine:

1) Have a laser for each color in the rainbow. Base their effectiveness on how pretty you think they are.
2) Harpoon missiles. Designed to stick into its targets before exploding.
3) Torpedoes in space? Okay... um... Rusty. Upon impact, releases a toxin that breaks down most metal materials. I''m drawing a blank.
4) Demolecularization Energy Assault Device (anti-laser device/system, aka DEAD)
