Real Ship Names

(1/4) > >>

JaegerDelta:
So, I had thought recently, if all the ships in the game currently are ships that are widespread throughout the world, the names that we call them surely cannot be their real names. the names we use are slang that have popped up over the years and taken hold due to the familiarity of seeing these ships in the skies and ports across the world.

take the junker or galleon for instance, they are ships specifically stated to be designed by certain groups, the arashi league and yesha empire respectively. Surely the prideful Arashi would not name a ship of their design a JUNKer, and why would the ethnically Chinese yeshan epire name a ship of their design using a word that has european roots. similar statements can be made of every ship in the game.

So, the question remains, when these ships were developed. when they were brand new technological innovations. what were the names their people gave them and what are they probably still known as in their homelands.

Mod Josie:
I'd like to think that the Junker was developed under a cool name like Páoxiāo (Chinese for Roar or Thunder)
Or perhaps something like Yòngchù (usefulness/effectiveness)

Names like that would be interested to have floating around, though I'd suggest it's more simple to have an amalgamated name as we do now - at least for informal discussion and battle plans :D

well the junker, as i said, was developed by the people of the Arashi League so i doubt it was givin a chinese name. maybe you meant the Galleon? 

Mod Josie:
Very probably, I was very drowsy when I posted here :P.

I need to sleep more -looks at time-
I should be in bed :(

Alma Beoluve:
I actually was thinking pretty much the same thing.

I'd love to see lore on the ships and their designated 'factory' name. XD
