[Serenitis]

If you wanted to change it while keeping it the same you could go for something like Chrysina; though that loses out on any meaning the name itself might provide...

Ateuchus.
Loses no meaning whatsoever.

[Cycerin]

I like Cicada but I'm sort of settling on Weevil because it ^{needs to be a beetle}, giving it some more consideration though.



Working on the destroyer that will be the counterpart to the Scorpion.

Desdinova will recieve the designation Heavy Destroyer, become less common, and recieve a few changes, along with a future sprite/layout cleanup.

[Ceebees]

Given that the class for that displays as "Heavy _ Destroyer", i'm looking forward to the return of the Heavy Metal Destroyer after the Asura was bumped up to a cruiser.

Also, it might not be a specific type of beetle like the scarab or cicada, but might i cast Adephaga into the Ring of Consideration?

[Cycerin]

Most of these suggestions have way too many syllables, I want to keep it simple like "Scarab"

[Cyan Leader]

Are you making the Desdinova not a fast destroyer anymore? It's its strongest selling point.

[Doogie]

You could always keep the name and change the spelling to "skarab" since it's just an alliteration of a Greek word.

God no

[Cyan Leader]

Good to hear, it might be my favorite BRDY ship. I'd love to see a boss variant one day.

[Achataeon]

I'd love to see a boss variant one day.

What if that happened to the Imaginos. Or the Morpheus. Or maybe even those Nevermores. God help us all...

Firefly? Longhorn? Darkling? Glowworm? Whirligig?

Personally I'm fond of "Firefly", it helps that it has a neat history of military usage... although now that I look at the last link, "Lampyridae" sounds pretty cool as well, but I suppose it breaks your syllable rule too.

Can't wait to see both the new destroyer and the updated Desdinova! 

[Taverius]

@ Cycerin: Whoa, that silhouette looks awesome. Can you tell us anything about what kind of ship it is?

I've said it before, but I want boss shrimps. Two of them, one with 2 right pontoons, slow with some missile system, and one with 2 left pontoons, fast with a 'moar dakka' system.

Tell me that ain't perfect and I'll threaten violence

Also: Boss Karkinos

[Achataeon]

Also: Boss Karkinos

Heh. A Karkinos with max skills can mount 4 Arondight Accelerators and just dominate. It's literally the perfect anti-capital ship. It's even capable of forcing a Paragon to its knees, driving it's flux up ridiculously quick even with the Paragon's fortress shields.

[Takion Kasukedo]

Hmm, guess I gotta post a video of my Kirk setup soon...

[Cycerin]

I don't really have plans to make 'boss ships', with the limited time I have available for modding lately - as cool as it would be. Most of my efforts lately have been focused on consolidating the faction's designs so that the most powerful ships stand out less and have less exaggerated strengths and weaknesses.

@ Taverius - the new destroyer is going to be fast, compact, and focused on forward firepower. Lots of hardpoints, not many turrets. I have some interesting ideas I want to explore, so the design isn't set in stone yet. I might make two versions of it, one with a built-in weapon. It's not a Dimensional Engine ship. : )

Captain Kark

[Taverius]

Sounds like my kind of ship.

I'm also, kind of, looking forward to the changed Sthenos, just because having a cruiser I can give to the AI and have them be good at is nice
