I'm not saying don't do it - merely to remember not to overdo it.....
That is, however, a problem with nearly all flavouring names, see some of the Ship Designs. My idea would be to add a word denominating that ship part's type, for example 'Bordkanone(k) 100/400 railgun'.
Anyway, Steve, if you want my (sometimes strange) naming scheme, see the code thingy.
Code: [Select]
Designations:
Weapons:
Railgun: Bordkanone(k) [year] [Calibre]/[Range*100]
Railgun/Elektromagnetische Kanone
Gauss: Bordkanone(k) [year] 10([Firing Rate])/[Range*100]
Railgun/Elektromagnetische Kanone (ignoring the gauss gun)
Laser: Bordkanone(L) [year] [Calibre]/[Wave length in nm]
Laserkanone
Mesons: Bordkanone(M) [year] [Calibre]/[Range*100]
Mesonkanone
Microwave: Bordkanone(e) [year] [Calibre]/[Focusing Tech*100]
Mikrowellenkanone
Particle: Bordkanone(P) [year] [Strength]/[Range Tech*100]
Partikelstrahl/Partikelstrahlkanone
Plasma: Bordkanone(Pl) [year] [Calibre]
Plasmakanone
Missile: Raketenwerfer [year] [Calibre] // [Calibre]-Raketenwerfer [year]
Box: Raketenstarter [year] [Calibre] // [Calibre]-Raketenstarter [year]
Examples:
Bordkanone(k)-25 100/400
Bordkanone(k)-10 10(5)/200
Bordkanone(L)-30 10/200
Bordkanone(M)-05 150/500
Bordkanone(e)-15 200/600
Bordkanone(P)-55 12/400
Bordkanone(Pl)-90 600mm
Raketenwerfer-00 400cm
Raketenstarter-05 600cm
Missiles - Raumflugkörper/Rakete:
ASMs: RFK-[year] [Calibre] GK-[Warhead Size]
Raumflugkörper
AMMs: AR-[year] [Calibre] GK-[Warhead Size]
Abwehrrakete
Buoy: Boje-[year] [Calibre] [Sensor]
Boje
Drone: Drohne-[year] [Calibre] [Sensor]
Drohne/Aufklärungsdrone
Mine: Mine-[year] [Calibre] - [n]x[Submunition] - [Sensor]
Sensor: Active: R-[Target]-[Range]
EM: EM-[Sensitivity]
T: IR-[Sensitivity]
Examples:
RFK-00 400cm GK-5 Adler
AR-00 100cm GK-1 Falke
Boje-05 400cm R-5000-2.7 (Against 5000t at 2.7mkm max range)
Mine-05 800cm 4xAR-00 Falke R-5000-2.7
Sensors:
Primary Sensor/Secondary Sensor/Navigation sensor: Primärradar/Sekundärradar/Navigationsradar
Active Sensor: Radar-[year] [Target]-[Range]
Thermal: IR-[year] [Sensitivity] (Infrarot/Infrared)
EM: EM-[year] [Sensitivity] (Elektromagnetisch/Electromagnetic)
Examples:
Radar-00 6250-26.8
IR-00 5
EM-00 5
Fire Control:
BFC: ADLER-[year]-[Range]/[Speed] Feuerleitsystem
MFC: RaKoS-[year]-[Range]/[Target Size] Raketenleitsystem
ADLER-00-194/4 Feuerleitsystem
RaKoS-00-.7/15t Raketenleitsystem
(RaKoS would be a more or less typical government acronym standing for RAketenKOntrollSystem, missile control system)
