Some ship layouts have names-
Gat/mortar Pyramidion- Metamidion
Carronade/Artemis Pyramidion - Carrot
Heavy Carronade Goldfish - Blenderfish
Mine Junker - Munker (or is munker meta-junker i forget)
Others don't. (I probably Missed some.)
We should name some other ones too.
But cool names.
So people actually use them.
Here at Cake Studios(tm) we call Hades/Flamer Pyramidion- Inferno/Inferno Build Pyramidion.
So my question for you GOI Forums, what should we name some other ship builds?
Thoughts?
All Flamer should be a called a cake ship - just sayin e.g. Hey! look at that Cake Junker
-
Carrot is a new one for me. Cute!
Munker is definitely mine junker.
I've also heard "minebula" to describe a mine mobula.
-
I jokingly called a double-flame pyramid 'the fire demon himself,' but it's not really a name for a build
-
Catfish - hwacha goldfish
Mercamidion - 2 mercury pyramidion
Are other names I've heard.
-
Never heard catfish. Where does that come from? It's not a contraction...
-
I call a dual get pyra a paper shredder
-
the fire demon himself
Fire Demon Pyramidion
Catfish - hwacha goldfish
Catfish is super cute.

Hwatcha has lions on it. And it's on a goldfish. Therefore Catfish.
Also I'm totally gonna call all the ships in here by these names forever and ever.
-
Catfish is super cute.
Yes it is.

The hwachas name is Manticore, a type of big cat. Also the gun model is decorated with big cat jaws that open with the firing animation. Hence Catfish.
-
Harpoon & Gatling Pyramidion = Fisherman
Carronade & Flamethrower Pyramidion = Carroflamer
Hades & Banshee Pyramidion = NeoPyra
I think I could also fit in here:
Glowbula = GwTh mobula. The mostly known one is Aesir piloted by Skrimskraw
-

Yes it is.
And from the depths of Paritan Comes a new threat. A Catfish. With Broadside Catfish. Watch out.

Interesting stuff. I especially like the fisherman. What's on a Glowbula? Or is that just a general term for any GwTh Mobula?
-
any ship with all armour shredding weapons, usually chain guns, I've heard be called stripper.
ex stripper squid
stripper junker
-
Munkers = Any Junker with 2+ Minelaunchers.
Why not just 1 mine? Because while 1 mine is good enough to keep an enemy at bay, the boat will most likely use it's side guns more. How you fly the vessel changes very little. The mine launcher is only there for defensive purposes. When you add a 2nd mine launcher, you add the ability to easily fend off multiple vessels as well as use mines more effectively in an offensive manner instead of just defense. While you may have a kill side or disable side, your piloting style changes as you can approach engagements differently. When your piloting style shifts, thats called Munker.

I think every one. However it's not official. It's just my thoughts.

I love 2 mines on a Junker. I have both mines on bottom deck, side guns being a carronade and a gattling. And an artemis upfront. Super fun build. Gives gunners some work for a change ahaha. ;)

Unlike real strippers, stripper ships don't have thongs.
And unlike real life GOI doesnt have money.
To tip instead you shold tuck commendations into their hull.
I think every one. However it's not official. It's just my thoughts.
I'll be sure to call them that should I see one :D
-
Don't forget the all banshee Cake mobula 'Platform Birthday'. Although it was quite a while ago, crewing on that was probably some of the most fun I've had a mob :P
Although that may just be a ship name. But I'm sure it was used by a couple of different pastries, so could (and should) be the name of this layout
-
gat mortar mobula = Brawlbula
hades artemis pyra = Hardy
-

Oh yeah I've heard that before, the all banshee Junker im pretty sure is called The Birthday Cake also.
gat mortar mobula = Brawlbula
hades artemis pyra = Hardy
I especially like Hardy
Oh and I've heard people refer to a Carronade/Flamer Pyramidion as 'The Rainbow Crash' before after redria's Pyramidion.
We still need a name for Hades/Flak btw people.
-
Hadesmidion = Dual Hades Pyra
AT Squid = Attack Squid (Gat or Flamer/Mort or Flak)
Mercmidion = Dual Merc Pyra
As far as Hades/Flak goes...Midmidion?
Spire = Flying Toilet Paper
Mobula = Gehenngineera
-
Carrofish for obvious reasons.
-

It's an interesting build; in redria's pyra guide he refers to it as Urz's Flamer as he saw Urz use it first - although this was a long time ago and I might be mistaken. But then again, I've spent too much time looking at the rainbow crash nuzzling up to the starboard side of my pyra flaming and carronading away :P
-
It should be called the flarronadion. Sounds like a pokemon evolution.
Carrot has evolved into Flarronadion!
Also the people that call mine junkers/squids munkers and muids are doing it wrong.
Please call them Jines and Squines instead.
Join the revolution!
Also the merc/flak spire should be called the Splaker.
-
Also the merc/flak spire should be called the Splaker.
It should be called: Dead

Maybe true, but Danny you've got to admit it's fun.
But maybe everyone could be like that is one dead Splaker. (which would be all the time ahaha)

Imagine if ships evolved :O
Also Muids sounds silly. Cow-like druids. Ahaha
I'll stick with Munker, but i like Squines.
Carrofish for obvious reasons.
Isn't that Blenderfish?
-
Hadesmidion = Dual Hades Pyra
AT Squid = Attack Squid (Gat or Flamer/Mort or Flak)
Mercmidion = Dual Merc Pyra

Interesting, what's your thought process behind hades flak?
Is it because it's almost meta and midi is like half?
-
Carrofish for obvious reasons.
Isn't that Blenderfish?
I've heard blenderfish, but I hear carrofish almost as much. Also, does anyone else say Mobula with a soft u sometimes?
-
Quad Hwacha/dual Carousel Galleon = Fireworks Display.
The only time I've seen it was during the 4th of July weekend when it was my ship of choice. And we shot an Icecream Cone.
-
I've heard people calling the flak spire the "assassin" build.
-

I have heard one guy call it that. He also calls the gat mortar squid the assassin squid and a hades banshee mobula the assassin mobula. He must like assassins.

oh yeah! four hwacha galleon = Quadcha
-
I generally name spires Flakstick/Lumberstick/Hwachastick (or Catstick I suppose)/Blenderstick depending on their heavy gun.
-
Classic Galleon/Meta Galleon/ Lucky Duck Build (that may be just us ducks calling it that), is the good ole, lumber/flak long range piercer left with the hwacha carro right.
Also I generally us the generic term "blenders" for anything that relies on baloon popping. For some people blending means carronade specifically, but for me blending is more a description of losing fighting balloon poppers. If an LJ has me boucning on the ground, I call it being blended.
-
I have always heard quad-hwacha Galleons called 'Hwacha OP Boat'.
The people I know have been calling any Mobula with 3 (or sometimes 2) Hades on one side of the ship a 'Hades Funhouse build'. Named after my original 'Hades Funhouse', of course.

Ship hugs!
I totally stole it from Urz, but then I think I may have used it more than him by now too, so whatever. :P
-
Flakfish = Blobfish, as it resembles the expression on my face whenever I spot one

-

You'd have to be a masochist to enjoy receiving that kind of hug :P
-
Nobody has mentioned the famous 'Spidermob'. Too many harpoons and some flamers or other guns on a Mobula.
-

Did you just insult the almighty flakfish, true terror of the sky. Flakfish is such an amazing ship though, it hurts my heat when I see people who don't know how to use it :(

Loch Flak would be so beautiful.
