Megas No Prisoners is known to be a highly capable combat officer in command of a sizable fleet, which he will deploy one ship at a time.

Aye, and he's Level 40 too instead of Level 20.  All the skills!

Yes, I found a found a bounty named Megas (with a non-English last name).  (Ugly purple-haired dude with an implant.)

In-game, my character is not named Megas, but War (after the NetHack player character, who is supposed to be the fourth rider), although since my current character portrait is the Doomguy next to Hegemony Ryu, I should have named him Doom, or Doomguy.

I do not think having War or Warmonger as my forum alias my be a great idea.  I just defaulted to Megas.  Could not think of better at the time.

If I pick the Tri-Tachyon power ranger, I name him Blue.

There is that new female spaceman portrait (more like fighter helmet).  Could name her Ninja.

I killed a Lasher called Red Dwarf.

Not as big as its namesake, but still an interesting find.

Maybe I'm wrong. But looking at small things like sustained burn, I'm pretty inclined to think I may be right. Doesn't matter.

well played alex

I'm thinking of chocolate, anyone else having a sweet tooth?

Joking aside, I did come across a pirate female (The new pirate portrait of someone in a Pirate/Reaver-esque painted space suit. Looked in the data files as the portrait_pirate01.png file is only listed in the female pirate portrait list of the Pirate faction.), genders, factions and details aside what was odd and amusing was that I ran into a hostile captain who's name was "Escape Pod" with a third/last name too which I have forgotten, I was scratching my head in the dialog and other logs for a bit and asking "What escape pod? The heck's going on? ..oh it's just an NPC's name. *facepalm of what-the-actual-heck*". :D Reminded me of Dwarf Fortress as naming system there can get so bizarre to a point I've sometimes laughed my sides stiff and burnt.

Agreed. I have fond memories of too many dwarves with funny names. I think it was even worse due to the fact I was playing a lot of Masterwork DF.
