Guest LLArms Posted June 15, 2012 Report Posted June 15, 2012 I will throw one of our own ideas into the ring for scrutiny,We were thinking 'Dreadnought' (or its variation 'Dreadnaught').dread·noughtnoun /ˈdredˌnôt/ dreadnoughts, pluralA type of battleship introduced in the early 20th century, larger and faster than its predecessors and equipped entirely with large-caliber guns.
Robocop1051 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Posted June 15, 2012 In no way am I trying to think any of these are original names... but maybe will help get the wheels turning for something creative.BehemothGoliathColossusMjolnir (Thor's Hammer)Gungnir (Odin's Spear)Negh'Var (Geek alert! The largest Klingon warship ever!!)Mons Meg (A 15th century siege/artillery weapon noted for its HUGE size)Ursa Major (Big Bear constellation. Save the "Ursa Minor" for your pistol configuration?)I thought about Dreadnaught, Leviathan and Nautilus (Jules Verne novels)... But they all seemed a little too aquatic to me???I'll think of more later
Guest LLArms Posted June 15, 2012 Report Posted June 15, 2012 Leviathan - "Whale"I really dig this idea, this one will make it to the 'finals' for sure. 8)
Dusty44 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Posted June 15, 2012 The nordic mythology names are interesting but I think going in that direction would be a big mistake. This name needs stay with mainstream English.

planeflyer21 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Posted June 15, 2012 Dreadnaught sounds very good, IMO!Dora? Jon

Dusty44 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Posted June 16, 2012 What were some of the war engines of antiquity called? Maybe I am not quite remembering the ram used in one of the big battles in the Lord Of The Rings. The name the Orcs gave to the ram used to down the gates of the Tower? Copyrights could be an issue with all this!
edgecrusher Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 lil' black sally; ok,ok …how about 'The Regent' or 'The Mastidon'… 'Mammoth'
planeflyer21 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 Cave Troll.That thing slinging that club around was pretty intense.Jon
NoFail Posted June 20, 2012 Report Posted June 20, 2012 "The Gargoyle" is sticking in my head right now.....
