Politely, I want to point out a few things.
Scarab is a vanilla ship.
- The Vanilla Scarab was added in Starsector 0.7.2a, released February 26, 2016, by Alex
- The Nomad Scarab was added in The Nomads (original version) [Starfarer 0.34a] released around June 8, 2011 (4+ years earlier)
Scorpion is a BRDY ship.
- The BRDY Scorpion was added in Blackrock Drive Yards ver. 0.6.5 [Starsector ver. 0.6.2a] released May 12th, 2014, by Cycerin
- The Nomad Scorpion was added in The Nomads ver. 0.6 [Starfarer ver. 0.51a] released March 27th, 2012 (2+ years earlier)
In both cases, my ships predated. In the case of Vanilla, I'd be willing to stand aside, simply given the nature of the relationship between any game and its mods, where such mods are not total conversions but rather content-additive; and I'll consider changing the name of the Scarab for that reason.
In the case of Cycerin's BRDY mod, even considering that he's a friend and has helped me personally with my modding work, I would appeal to his sense of pride in mod-authorship to recognize my valid claim on the name
Scorpion, and let me continue to use it while he renames his ship.
The list you link to doesn't seem aware that I exist, but that's hardly on me; at the time of naming, that list didn't exist yet, so I don't think it's fair to reference it as a reason why I should change anything.
- I see that Mantis is already an established BRDY frigate, so I will avoid creating a new Mantis.
