Cobra848 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Some of the vehicles need nicknames. I know most already have nicknames like the mon cal fishsticks and the AT-STs are chicken walker, but I am mostly talking about are the rebels ground vehicles. The following ones like T2-B, T4-B, MPTL-2A, and the Imp. SPMA-T. I have already starting to call the T4-B a mammoth tank, because that what it looks like. Since most of Petro did come from Westwood, and there was a mammoth in all the classic C&C games. Also the mammoth used missiles and dual cannon. I call the MPTL-2A a Medusa from the smoke trails the torpedoes make. Yeah I know the two above nicknames are not Star Wars related, but it's just what comes to mine. I still need a good nickname for the T2-B. Lets see what we can come up with.

Megajames Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Tie maluer should be called larwn mower Evacuate, in our moment of triumph. I think you overestimate their chances.

All_Terrain Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I'm also tempted to call the MPTL-2a artillery "Yosemite Sams", since they both shoot with their guns pointing in different directions. >P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Data Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I call 'em "Missile-Spammers". They need a nerf really: As Rebellion I never used one, as Empire there is NO Rebellion-Planet without those things (often 2, 3 Bataillons + 2, 3 Heavy Facs garrison this Unit) ...

Captain Data Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I call the AT-AT the N00b Killer. It kills n00bs who don't build speeders or plex soldiers as part of a planet garrison Speeders are 50% of my assault-force EVERYTIME. Because most players dont build any AA-Guns. And they're good for scouting enemy bases for bombing runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um....do you guys mean you renamed the units actually, or are they all just nicknames you call them when you see them? http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkthehunter Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 They are just nicknames we call them when we see them. Like: The Triangles of Death(SD's)are attacking us! Send in the Fishsticks(Mon Cals)! btw: 666th post!!! Woot! Protecting the world from those who have an IQ higher than 30! Huzzah! Trust me...I'm a professional.

Star Wars Godzilla Ruler Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I usually call the IPV-1 pirate patrol crafts "eggs". I aslo think that Interceptor V Frigates look like a row of brownies, the MKII Assault Frigates look like cucumbers, the T4-B tank looks a little like the "Pumpkin of Death" and the T2-B tank looks like an RC boat or a short, fat carrot.
