So, in light of the thread about the Sony Xperia phone that Rennie made… Here is a list of all of the mythological creatures and beings that didn’t make the Empire cut, the animals that the Federation didn’t want in their zoo and the arsenal that Jericho found too weak to be within their stock. Let’s give the team some more ideas!
The Federation…
- Leopard
- Owl
- Kestrel
- Raven
- Crow
- Barracuda
- Tigershark
- Hammerhead (would make a good name for a SP gunship at R15…)
- Manta
- Orca (would make a SERIOUSLY good name for a SP guard frigate)
The Empire…
- Wyrm
- Leviathan (awesome name for a Destroyer)
- and umm…
- I am not sure what else.
- Maybe I’ll just say I’ll put another Mythological being here.
Jericho…
- Tanto
- Cutlass
- Falchion
- Sabre
- Genadito
- Odachi
- Longsword
- Javelin
- Glaive
- Halberd
- Spear
- Nunchaku
- Eskrima
- Kitchen Knife
- Another Spear
- Another bladed instrument
- Pencil
- Pair of scissors
- Screwdriver
- Chair Leg
- AK-47
- Mace
- Another type of Sword
- Another Medieval Weapon
- Another Medieval Weapon AE
- Another Medieval Weapon S (would make a good covi)
- ThunderFlame’s very own place in this list
- That one ship with 3 shields and 3 hull
- Another ship with 3 capacitors and 3 engines
- A Jericho Gunship
- A Federation Command that comes under Jericho because it has no place in Federation
- I just stuck down one of my keys typing this one.
Did we miss any?
Yo how about Scythe for a Jeri tackler,as you can just make your way through the interceptors like a Scythe thru a weed plantation!
As for empire,Poseidon can make for a command since he is stronk like all of the gods,and probably be painted in blue.
And for federation Pigeon can be a recon since it will be an annoying ship,and endless of them will come after you!
Triceratops.
funny tho, my small ship designs (in games where you can name things) have always besides my “raptor”, the manta and the barracuda.
Owl is only almost on the list, as there was an “Owl” in the designs, either the silent fox or the parallax, i am not sure which hull; there is still a picture about it.
There was:
-
Excalibur (Sai)
-
Ankylosaurus (Alligator)
-
Stegosaurus (Anaconda)
-
Balor (Styx)
-
Thor (Chiron)
-
Spinosaurus (Grizzly)
-
Vulture (Swift)
-
Raven (Kite)
-
Owl (Eagle)
-
Triceratops (Raptor)
-
Cougar (Tiger)
Some names were also mixed around with Tigers, Lion, Lynx etc.

I hate that ship. It’s so ugly. The Owl deserves something much better looking.
Maybe the Jericho CovOps secret project? So it just looks like a big flying owl?
Don’t forget “X-Acto” or “Scalpel” for Jericho.
Both are extremely very much sharp things.
Don’t forget the Tuning Fork oh wait, that’s the Eagle…

I heard if you bang it on a hard surface, it resonates at the perfect frequency for an explosion.

Yeah the Swift Eagle especially has this problem when you activate the micro warp drive.

Boi ya missed a bunch
Don’t forget how destroyer’s are named. Federation are named after star systems found within the game’s map. Empire are named after personality traits/characteristics. Jericho are named after positions in politics… kinda sorta…
Here’s how the names work:
Federation: organisms yo
Interceptors - Mainly Birds of Prey, and then uhh, some other random stuff
Fighters - Mammal predators, four legged yo
Frigates - Mainly reptilian predators, with uhh a bear in the mix (grizzlyImeanspacepoptart)
Destroyers - Star systems found within the game’s ‘Galaxy Map’
Empire: mythological stuff
Interceptors - Mythological beings and uhh, whatever a Dvergr is…
Fighters - Mythological people
Frigates - Mythological beasts
Destroyers - Personality traits/characteristics
Jericho: old stuff
Interceptors - Small knives
Fighters - Long knives / pole arms
Frigates - Melee warriors
Destroyers - Positions in ancient politics
there’s like a bunch of stuff that fits under those 12 categories bruh
I find its also a nice Elite (original) reference to have Anaconda and Eagle in the same tier.
But thats about it, Sidewinder, Asp, Boa, Viper and Cobra are not to be seen 
Anyway I was never impressed with SC ship backgrounds and namings. But I don’t really expected it either, it’s really the first game* I found background story completely unimportant. because, it really doesn’t matter, when you see, it is trying to mix in a bit of everything. That’s cool by itself.
When my favourite healer was renamed and suddenly matched the last name of my fictional pilot made me love it. But it is an exception aswell in the naming scheme 
*) Even Minesweeper had a movie
