Name That Ship!

Recently, VO's new 3D artist, Luis, presented two out of 5 models being worked on, other than the TPG Destroyer, the Trident and TPG Raptor.

They were shown as:

Luis-1:


Luis-2:


So, if we had anything to say about it, provided those ships are not already named ... how would you call them?

Here are my initial impressions;

Luis 1: TPG Arrow Head

That ship has similarities with the TPG Raptor so I suppose it should come out of TPG as well.

Luis 2: Corvus Beak

That ship looks more organic. Like a hawk beak or something. As such, being a Corvus ship might make sense but Corvus is not known to build ship (just a variant on a known ship). So, they could have outsourced the fabrication.

nr2: Hammerhead

First thought that came up in me.

I would definitely name the second one the Aeolus in honor of Harry Seldon's ship that looks a lot like it. I never really liked he Aeolus because it felt like there was something missing, but this is the concept step it needed to take all along.

I'm sick of TPG getting all the goodies. Thus,

Luis 1: Xang Xi 4300
Luis 2: Aeolus Raven-class Heavy Courier

TPG is the biggest manufacturer of ships in the known universe, why would they not get the ships.

I thought the factions that did not currently have ships were going to be the ones to get the cruisers and frigates, who knows though for sure.

They may be, but at some point we need to fill out a place for the other factions that currently have nothing interesting to do with the universe, and exist only to fill space.

slightly off topic
re:ctishman

Ineubis Defense Research - Should be producing defensive weaponry and shields, cloaking devices, mines, etc.
Aeolus Tradeing Prefectorate - Should have trade specific ships and sell special goods that are hard to obtain.
Valent Robotics - Should sell drone ships, and other parts that go into other things such as weapons, and ships.

Though I can also see them selling varients of ships that are produced by TPG.

"Nose" is a horrible name!!! Though I'm sure you ment those more as jokes then anything else. =)
