As many of you know, some of us are working on a nifty new collaborative sci-fi project. It's going well, with everything from ship designs to fiction to a graphical RPG in the works. However, this nifty new collaborative sci-fi project needs a name. Basically, it needs to be something short but meaningful, in the same way that "Star Trek," "Star Wars," "Babylon 5," etc. are. The problem is that the title doesn't need to be specific in any way...basically, what's needed is something that sounds good. So, if you have any ideas at all, please post them.

Maybe a smidgin' more info is needed, but I'll try to be as non-specific as I can...Distant Stars One entry for now... ------------------ "Goverment exists to serve, not to lead.

Actually, that's pretty good. The sci-fi project involves a large galaxy that people on the project can craft parts of to their liking, whether that part is a person or a civilisation. ------------------ Frank's Home Page "Ou tou kratountos h� polis nomizetai" - Creon

Indeed! BTW, feel free to combine terms from previous entries, if you've got a really good idea that builds upon them.------------------ Frank's Home Page "Ou tou kratountos h� polis nomizetai" - Creon

Sounds good. I'm thinking of some combinations, too, like "Distant Empires," to take two of yours. That actually works well, since on the map script, something like .001% of the galaxy already has more than a dozen empire-like nations. If anyone else thinks of anything good, feel free to post...these are great ideas.------------------ Frank's Home Page "Ou tou kratountos h� polis nomizetai" - Creon

Here's a thought... If there is going to be any group in this galaxy that are sort of primary, and if they have a main language, you can make up a word or two in that language to use. It doesn't matter how dumb or corny the translation is, because it will sound cool on its own... :-)------------------ "Their 'flower power' is no match for my glower power!" -C.

It's one galaxy, but it's a big galaxy, with wide ranges of stability. And I like chaos. ------------------ Frank's Home Page "Ou tou kratountos h� polis nomizetai" - Creon
