February 20, 200620 yr 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.

February 20, 200620 yr ehehehhehehehe ;D I came up with the nickname "fishstick" for the mon cal crusiers waaaaaaayyyyyyy back all those months ago at lucasarts.... or at least I think I did
February 20, 200620 yr I'm also tempted to call the MPTL-2a artillery "Yosemite Sams", since they both shoot with their guns pointing in different directions. >P
February 21, 200620 yr 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) ...
February 21, 200620 yr 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 You will be defeated-I have forseen this.

Just like how the Nebulon-B Frigate sounds good as Medical Frigate._________________________________________ I am calling the Assault frigates Fat Boys and the AT-AAs a froggers.

February 21, 200620 yr 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.
February 22, 200620 yr 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. 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
February 22, 200620 yr 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!

August 7, 200719 yr 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.
