The Teradon's ultra-kaboom yellow-ball-of-snot is yet unnamed.

In this thread, put down your suggestion as to how this thing should be called!

No guarantee the devs will retain any of these ideas. But let's just be creative.

In light of recent (and not-so-recent) RP threads, I would suggest that weapon to be called the

Neutron Tera-Kebab

or NTK for short. Yeah. That would be final version of the NTK-11 prototype. Eh! It's about time some of the RP elements find their way INTO the game. For fun.

Tossed this around with my physics buds.

Accretion Jet Blaster (to explain the spiral effect)

Magneto-Confinement Pulse Cannon

Poynting Resonance Cannon (Alternately, Poynt to Poynt Blaster)

Phase Dynamo

or my favorite
Ockham's Big Gun.

EDIT:
if you want NTK-11, how bout

Nano-Tech containment of Kinetic energy.

Why go any further... mgl had it right all along: TUkYBoS - Teradon's ultra-kaboom yellow-ball-of-snot. (Too-Key'-boos)

'tur'key'balls???

How about Big Big Gun or BB Gun?

Turkeyballs! LOL

Shape, the use of NTK is only justified with the work "kebab" because that's what most fighter turn into when they fly into the TUKYBOS.

Another suggestions:

THC: Teradon Havoc Canon. Best served with 2am pizza and lots of giggles.

LOL @ Flaming Golden Balls!

How bout "Really Fricken Sweet as Hell Killer Death Cannon" or RFSaHKC for short!

incarnate said in another thread: I came up with the effect some months back, but couldn't really use it very well at the time. I saved it for a possible heavy-cap weapon, and it's worked out well in timing. Eventually I'd like some sort of grandaddy of that effect for the Goliath Cannon.

... okay, sounds to me at least like we've officially got something that can rightfully be called the "Mini Goliath Cannon".

Disruptor Cannons.

Or Magnetic Pulse Cannons. (Not EMP!)

Or, if this isn't stealing too much from mechwarrior:

PPC's (Particle Projection Cannons)

you could go simple and callit the "plasma cannon" or "Positron Cannon" in refrence to the smaller weapons.

or you could make a bad refrence to the "goliath cannon" by calling it the "David cannon".

or you could alsays pilfer a clasic name like "Plasma topedo", "Pulse cannon", "buster cannon", etc.
