Ship Name Generator Derogatory name!

[Billz]

This is from Galaxy Charts probably done by USS Frontier and please give me a break, I know well enough what's it to run out of ideas. BTW USS Frontier is from Brazil.

This actually originated from the Distress Signal mod.

Check the file structure and see for yourself.

Sovereign: relax, man.  I'd worry more about any Asian-American players that are touchy
Nebs: actually, i have GC in.  I DLed it right after KM.  too bad it's too much for my graphics card to handle for more than 15 minutes.
Kirk: N word privileges, if your implying what I think your implying.
Billz: "brazil" explains a lot.  there seem to be a lot of modders down there, anymore (i have some for another game with a prevalence of Brazilian modders).  i smell a new Korea...

[Nebula]

read "Billz" last post... again this isn't from GC.

[Mario]

I recall him doing many modifications to Defiant's file. Oh well my bad.

What are you on about?

[Villain]

i think i shall captain the IKS Querfagg  

Oh boy, complete with atmospheric Flight/Re-entry?  

I really can't see the problem with this. If Jimmy can laugh off "IKS Querfagg," why can't some white guys laugh off IKS Ch'ink? The term has nothing to do with you. Why should you care?

Exactly what everyone should be thinking.

If someone is offended by it, clearly they're not ready for browsing the internet. Otherwise, we might as well just start giving ship blank registries because there's too much of a chance someone would get insulted by pretty much anything.

It is not about privelages, it is about awareness. There are no such thing as "N word privelages", and if there were a word in there (The Klingon list) that resembled it, it would just as easily be argued that it was generated using Latin, from where the derogatory version originated, which is also the far more likely explanation. If you go to any random word generator you're bound to stumble upon something you perceive as offensive, as there are only so many combinations of letters possible when you limit it to 15 letters max.

I don't quite get what you mean by "New Korea"? As in, where all the mods are starting to come from?  Never seen a korean mod before.  :wtf

Tl;dr: Everything can be offensive, it's all about perspective. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_(cognitive)

Prime: there's one in every crowd, people that take everything seriously, and I'm erring on the side of caution.
Brazilians hav been coming off as being especially brilliant in some areas, lately.  I was comparing this to the sudden rise of korea in the automotive industry.

[Kirk]

Our modders from Brazil have been around since 2003 dude.

[Dalek]

To continue Kirks post in a slightly offcourse way, LC is Brazilian.

[Bones]

I like Brazillian chicks they're hot but who cares anyway  ;)

[JimmyB76]

as far as the point of this thread goes, neb pointed out where to find all the names of ships - if anyone finds them distatseful or offensive, they can change their installs... (altho that would kill MP, but then youd have to decide which is more important to you...)

[Shadowknight1]

I just want to know why the random name generator randomly assigned a Federation ship name to a Klingon BOP?  And named it the USS Bounty at that. 

[Kirk]

Ever watched The Voyage Home?

[deadthunder2_0]

the bop was HMS Bounty

[Bones]

Aye, Bones, with typicall for himself irony, gave the ship name of HMS Bounty, kinda weird that red lettering is only visible while it's landed on Volcan, then in various shots, letter just disappear, I guess I didn't want to get one and only BoP model get messed with terran name cuz they would have to repaint it... lazyness or low budget :wtf

[King Class Scout]

Jimmy, all you'd have to do is edit the offensive name in the existing list (which I shoudla done, but I didn't know where the names were).  this also gives me a couple ideas, myself.  i think I'm gonna set up the JJverse ships seperately, and apply that "race def" trick with them.

note: really, they threw the TVH gag in?  never had that crop up.

[Kirk]

That's exactly what he said.

if anyone finds them distatseful or offensive, they can change their installs

Change here, meaning edit.

[JimmyB76]

to clarify, i meant change the file in their installs lol

and im disappointed there is no USS Sam in that roster  :arms:
so i shall have to change _{the file for} my install

and since there is already a USS Raging Queen out there, no need for that one lol

[Kirk]

and since there is already a USS Raging Queen out there, no need for that one lol

I lol'd. +krama for that
