New Mekantan Grand Armada Designs - Preliminary

Eh, I used a lot of Norse names since I found some of the Norse mythology to be more interesting than the Greeks.

And I'm leaning towards Leviathan for the Commandship. It's essentially a gigantic sea serpent, so it would fit...

Any comments on the basic style of the designs? The spikes and such?

Call the biggest, MEANEST ship you have Fluffy.

...Go on. It would be worth it just for the comedy value.

Hmmm.. a class name for the command ship...

How about Kraken? I was thinking Scorpion when i saw it at first, with all the blade like protusions..

If your sticking with the Norse names, try Ragnarok.

Mekanta, the spikes on some of your ships can be explained as either solar collecters or as a "phycological warfare".

I still think fluffy is better. Or maybe Fido. Or perhaps Bob. Observe this examples.

"Sir, then enemy are hailing us!" The helmsman cried.
"This is the Capital ship BOB. Lower your shields and surrender now!" The voice boomed.
The entire bridge started laughing hysterically. So much so, that they ignored BOB's weapons power up and obliterate them a moment afterwards.

See? Better to fill the enemy with a false sense of securtiy, no?

Bah. One of my Battleforges' has a better name. Try having a 13km Mary Poppins flying at you at .9c

Or to tear holes in other ships or to prevent ramming on vulnerable spots. The world may never know.
