[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] I agree, naming all the ships in the class after moons in the Sol System is a it Earth-centric for a vast interstelllar Federation (IMHO). The other founding Federation worlds probably make insecurity jokes about humans always naming everything after themselves... Still with 85% of the crew being non-human, that still means that 90% of the total crew will be humanoid with only the most minor facial additions or skin color variances. I'd love to see an Andorian bridge officer: the way the Andorian character in the new DS9 books was handled was really well done. A lot of cultural background was etablished for the Andorians and I hope it's not just discarded. Some trills would be nice as well: mabye that babe from the [i]Enterprise[/i] will transfer over with Riker. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [qb] No USS The Moon? (Also, why would names be translated like that?) [/qb][/QUOTE]We dont know exactly how the UT translates cultural proper names: usually ship names dont translate at all but if someone asks what your ship's name means, that might be a problem. I mentioned the same thing whan (on the JOAT forums) someone came up with the "Mephistopheles class". It's just a baaad idea: like naming your ship the [i]USS Electra[/i]. Even the USS Phobos would take some explaining..."God of Fear" and all that. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
