Viking Fighter's name sux, let's find it a new one!

Leave the names as they are. I would much rather a team that has a central theme for their names that one comprised of all of the crap that people are spewing out here. Viking, Thor, Banshee, Predator, Battlecruiser, Siege Tank, Marine, Reaper, Cobra and Ghost are all fine names that should definitely not be changed.

 

/signed

there haven't been any names that are original, work for the unit and sound good.

 

I like all the current names, as said above we must keep as much originality as possible and it must also fit the unit, we just have to worry about the zerg names now

 

well stick pretty much anything **ra **ro or **ta in front of lisk and you've got yourself a decent zerg name

feralisk, terolisk, xitalisk...

 

LOL! Too true! However if it's a small unit type you'll have to use the suffix 'ling'. I would love to see a whole lot more 'lings' in StarCraft2. All the other races are getting much larger units, like the Thor or the Mothership, so I reckon that Zerg should go against the norm and develop more small units.

 

i would like a zerg named overpowredomfgieatyourbabieslisk

 

But that doesn't follow the previously stated Zerg name generator. The prefix has to end in -'ra', -'ro' or -'ta', not -'babies'! Also I find it hard to see who would name something like that! LOL! I can only imagine:
*some scientist runs into a lab*
"Hey guys! I just received contact from a new lifeform! It's main role seems to be sheer intimidation, to destory the enemy's morale!"
"Perhaps it could be named the Fearalisk! Or maybe the Terrolisk?"
"Nah, I've already thought of the name.... It's gonna be the overpowredomfgieatyourbabieslisk! Like it? It seems to just roll of the tongue dontcha think?"
*scientist gets fired*
This would be a great idea for that Short Story Competition atm! lol

 

hey Itza do i get my name on your sig for the donation ;D

 

Sorry... Hadn't updated the names in a while.... Just a sec, I'll do it right away!

 

shall we submit that story togheter shall we ?

 

LOL! Perhaps if they had a separate joke competition (I think in all seriousness that there's a comin contest), it'd work. Hard to make a short story about a guy who gave an unreasonably long name to a new species. But then again, there isn't a minimum word limit!

 

okay, let me just change the name..

lets use poweroverwhelmingomfglolroflmaoipwnyouallandallyourbasearebelongtomeandieatyourbabiesandimwaytogoodforyouloliroxxoryoursoxxorz


and they will not stand a chance against our combined might

 

LOL! You forgot to have -lisk or -ling on the end of the name! Unless it's going to be a Terran or Protoss unit it NEEDS -lisk or -ling!
poweroverwhelmingomfglolroflmaoipwnyouallandallyourbasearebelongtomeandieatyourbabiesandimwaytogoodforyouloliroxxoryoursoxxorlisk?
-lisk would probably work a bit better. -ling is for small units. I find it extremely hard to picture a unit with that name being small enough to be able to acquire the suffix of 'ling!

 

how about creepling for small defensive creatures that live on the creep... or
spawnling which pops out when a spawnlisk dies lol

 

Wooo for resurrecting dead threads / going offtopic.

I still stand by the name Hoplite. Thats just ballin. Or call it the Icarus. For those of you who arent educated, type Icarus into wikipedia. <3

 

icarus does make sense considering the viking's transformation, originally icarus can't fly just like the vikings, then he attach wings to himself and gain the ability to fly, like the vikings. finally his wings melts and he falls to the ground, like the vikings when they transform back to ground mode. my only problem is that name itself sound soft and weak, not like the tough viking raiders

 

the viking isn't exactly tough bro. Its got less hp than the Gol.

 

i mean the name "viking" seems tougher than "icarus". icarus sounds like a feeble intellect's name

 

icarus accually sounds pretty neat, and it makes by far the most sence. The vikings can't fly and the sc2 vikings are also weak and feeble, compared to other units.

 

Dude wasn't necessarily only an intellectual. he aspired to fly among the gods, just as the Viking aspires to take over both the Wraith and the Gol's jobs for the terran, which imo were the two gods of Terran Anti-Air.
