what on earth is a Teradon?

A frigate-class capital ship from TPG corporation.

I think it's a genus (or species?) of Dinosaur.

Raptor, pTeradon, etc. (silent P got dropped I guess)

Perhaps the new cargo ship will be called the "Sarupod."

Yep. pteradon

The "p" is silent, because in space, no one can hear you say "p".

Oooooh! Clever!

Sarupod.... I *like* :D

...you listening, luis?

We misspelled it on purpose, if that's any consolation.

/me imagines Inc as a little six year old with a bunch of plastic dinosaurs :)

I loved dinosaurs, like seemingly every other boy, but the Teradon name was all Michael's idea. I came up with the "Raptor" thing, and he just kinda ran with the whole dinosaur idea.

the next capship could be named "diplodocus"

just kidding, but, those aquatic dinosaurs would be a good source of inspiration for future capships (looking at the teradon now, it already does resemble somewhat with a "mosasaur")

um...it's "PTERANODON". "PTERADON" is a misnomer.

yeah..type of pteradactyle isnt it?

More like pteratypodile.

How about "Glyptodont" as a new mining ship?

maybe Michael needs spelling lessons...

:p

Brachiosaur would make a great cargo vessel.

Troglodyte could be a penalty ship for punk ass players! When a player say, harrasses an event, he gets voted Troglodyte and has to fly around in a big, lumbering 30m/s full boost ship with 300 armor for 3 hours! If the player logs off, he has to continue in the ship until his sentence is fullfilled!

Heh. Outstanding, tumble. Genka'd RACE to get in his Trog!

so many people would go from hog to trog..

No offense Inc, I loved em too :)

For the record, I made fun of the name mercilessly right after seeing it. But he wouldn't change it, so I suggested some new names, like Velocirator and Teradactyl
