Name the Pirate Corvette (SPOILER IMAGE)

ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK...

from Sins Forums

The Pirate’s Stilat Corvette should be given a more suitable name, like any other pirate ship: Pirate Corsair, Pirate Rogue, Pirate Pillager, Pirate Reaper, Pirate Cutthroat, etc. and be listed as: Pirate <NAME >, right now it shows as “Stilat Corvette”, this is inconsistent with all other Pirate units’ names. What would be a good name for the ship? Suggestions anyone?

Also it should have no shields, and it would be nice if the model had all the spikes and some pirate hologram/flag just like all the other Pirate ships.

What do you think?

Edit: Ok so far we have this suggested names:

  • Pirate Avenger
  • Pirate Brimstone
  • Pirate Buccaneer
  • Pirate Corvette
  • Pirate Cutlass
  • Pirate Engine-gutter
  • Pirate Fore-runner
  • Pirate Frenzy 
  • Pirate Gouger
  • Pirate Knave
  • Pirate Looter
  • Pirate Marauder
  • Pirate Opportunist
  • Pirate Outrider
  • Pirate Phantom
  • Pirate Piranha
  • Pirate Plunderer
  • Pirate Privateer
  • Pirate Rapier
  • Pirate Ravager
  • Pirate Ravisher
  • Pirate Relinquisher
  • Pirate Ripper
  • Pirate Saboteur
  • Pirate Sabre
  • Pirate Scourge 
  • Pirate Shank
  • Pirate Tearer
  • Pirate Y-wings

Nice names! Altough I don´t think some of the names fits very well with the lore. Keep them coming.

Corvette is actually a pretty piratey term, or at least one that originated with the age of sail. What they should do is change the pirate corvette and mine hud icons to be green like the rest instead of TEC yellow. Agree about the shields though.

I think the devs will get around to it. They may have put them in to see how we would react.

And my vote is......

HELL YAY KEEP THEM IN!

If not I will add them to Distant Stars. }:)

Agreed! Keep the corvettes!

Pirate Saboteur for a name?

How about Pirate Ravager? If it keeps the same line of damaging internal systems like it's TEC cousins, I'd think it'd be appropriate...

I like this!

Reply #11 from Sins Forums Top

I like Ravager.

My suggestions would be: Scourge, Frenzy, Brimstone, or Shank

I would have suggested "Raider" but when the announcer says "Pirate raiders are on the loose/have departed" it would imply its just a bunch of corvettes coming for you.

 

edit: oh, and needs more spikes

Reply #13 from Sins Forums Top

Perhaps a couple "fangs" hanging below the turret mounts? Or would that look too cheesy?

Pirate Plunderer

Pirate Relinquisher

Yes fangs, and spikes on the back would look very piratey!

What about Pirate Phantom? Just some random name popping up in my head. It kinda stuck with me...

Reply #20 from Sins Forums Top

Based off that picture, I say name them "y-wings"

Reply #21 from Sins Forums Top

I think i find Pirate Scourge seems to fit them well.

Reply #22 from Sins Forums Top

that sounds like its bad for the pirates though...

One of the modelers is a Wing Commander fan?  That Pirate Corvette looks like an Avenger.  So why not just call it the Pirate Avenger?
