Vote for whichever name you think would be best for the class of our new battleship.

I'll do the one for the ship name itself tomorrow.

Since we're leaving out all my suggestions simply because they're almost impossible to pronounce or spell (

) I'm going with Paladin-class. I think it's a good combo of indicating fighting ability with the Federation's paragon, holier-than-thou self-image.

I agree with mikey, Paladin Class Battleship sounds pretty good.

Are we trying to tie in the ship name to the class name? If it were to be the Paladin-class, would we be looking for ship names like Galahad, Roland, Percivale, Hugues de Payens, etc.?

Lancealot (a quip on our phaer lance)

Just kidding

I still think it should be the USS Paladin. First in her series, wouldn't she be?

She doesn't need to be first in her series. Just a new one. E-E isn't the first in its series just a new one.

True, but the E-Es class name is Soverign, thus the first one produced would have been the USS Soverign. Will our battleship have a sister ship?

I'm still voting for Paladin, for exactly those reasons. If this were my poll, it'd be a lot longer, and full of sticky options.

But, everyone seems to have made up their minds already on this one.

And Paladin wins by a mile.

I did vote Templar because i just prefer the word, but I think Paladin is probably best.

Monroe · Post by **Monroe** » Sat Aug 09, 2008 11:42 am

I think most people who like Paladin also like Templar. Templar can be the successor class name

And then Samurai, then Shogan, then Noble, then Baron, then Duke, then blah blah :p

That's why I like the USS Chivalrous

USS Joust is cool I think.

I think we should nominate some names now, and then put them in to a poll. 1 name each - I'm staying with the Chivalrous.

Kirov. It sounds Russian. Nothing's deadlier than a Russian.
