This is important, because if it is the wrong kind of starship then harsh words and seething arguments will be necessary.

Clearly it is a Firefly class, for only such a vessel could contain the ragtag bunch of misfits that inhabit this shithole.

It's more along the lines of "Spaceship Earth". This is probably unfortunate.

Obivously an XGP of course.

Filthy Starfleet ptaQs! Saying anything but the Vor'cha class shows you know nothing of honor and glory!

It's the Durandal with a Prometheus, Vor'cha, and Firefly classes parked in the hangar.

Oh and its' piloted by Aral Vorkosigan and his wife who has that lovely swordcane she used for a shopping trip once.

I swear to god, if you and I are the only ones who know what you're talking about, I will hang myself.

Also, The Pillar of Osterbaum.

I thought that was the AI, not a ship name. Unless we're not talking Bungie-verse here.

My Orion uses 2 Vor'chas.

Silly people, we have nuklear power, so the spaceship is clearly an Orion Drive! (http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/enginelist.php#id--Orion)

And what a splendid gift she bought for all those men in that meeting too.

Clearly the name refers to a starship General called Discussion. Let's have a salute for General Discussion! \o

I was talking about this Durandal (http://xenosaga.wikia.com/wiki/Durandal).

Glad to see me and POS aren't the only ones who know about The Shopping Trip done by Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan...a shopping trip which ended a planetwide civil war.

EDIT: If you want to find out what is being talked about...read Shards of Honor and Barrayar by Lois McMaster Bujold.

EDIT2: Also, it was my mother who turned me on to the books.

EDIT 3: She did pay too much for it but that is customary for a Vor lady.

Oh.
OH!

That's a good Durandal, too!

This isn't the Rebel Alliance. We don't give out ground-based ranks to naval officers.

I would hope so considering it has 1000 Photon Torpedo launchers, thousands of Railgun batteries, and a multi-vector...I will let the following youtube drive home the awesome in this 4km long Battlecruiser.

It kind of cut off with the Durandal ramming into the enemy ship with that long pointy fore.

I own/have played Xenosaga, I am quite aware of its capabilities. I just thought of a Forerunner AI first instead.


Also, it's amusing that they lead you to think that the Woglinde is a pretty advanced ship and then WHELP LOLOLOL. Almost every ship you meet after it is better. Though I guess in fairness the Durandal and Dämmerung are kind of special cases due to plot dev rich as fuck characters.

But we do let naval officers pilot spaceships?

Yes. Yes we do.

I had a thought...

...why not call it Lollipop?

EDIT: As an note of interest possibly not on topic but related...I unlocked Klingon play a few days ago and went with being a Klingon Science Officer...named my ship twice. It's current name is IKS Aral after Aral Vorkosigan. :)
