Yes: UF-TPD-38 'DOLPHIN' is a fine name and I want to continue that practice.

"UF-[Weapon Type]-[Year][Optional Variant Letter] [Weapon Nickname]"

Building on that, from the Discord we'd like to posit

[Weapon type] [Name] [Year] - [Version number]

So for the torpedo it would be seen as TPD "DOLPHIN" 38-1

The new designation could probably be put onto the front of the name, before the weapon type like Saint's scheme.

Yes, that's far superior.  Putting "UF" in front of every weapon is silly anyways; if it's functional then OBVIOUSLY it's a United Forenia design, right?

[NUKE9.13]

Sure, Hibou's naming scheme is fine by me. Let me just edit the proposal.

[Khan Boyzitbig]

Radar followed by a destroyer sounds good, we would need some sort of ASW though to properly protect the carriers we will develop in future (assuming the enemy design subs), we might be able to throw out a cheap DE (Destroyer Escort) by using the Dolphin torps without the air launch modifications.

So we have a weapon naming convention, how about ones for ships, planes and Armoured Fighting Vehicles?

As for the flag, I will vote for Nuke's design in the event of a tie but otherwise remain neutral.

[Taricus]

Same thing really? It's a general convention.

[evictedSaint]

Destroyers are DD
Battleships are BB
Cruisers are CL for light and CA for heavy
Carriers are CV

Planes are simply F for fighter
Bombers are B
Attack planes are A

I'm not gonna bother listing more than that.  Read here if you want all plane designations.

Death Balls can be DB

I presume we will be making more giant rolling doom things.

[evictedSaint]

god, i hope not

[mastahcheese]

inb4 radar is developed before the enemy builds subs.

Then subs show up on the radar, and the generals roll their eyes and go "oh how clever" before the enemies wonder why nothing works.

Voting for Nuke9.13's Stars and Swords flag.

While I like the alphanumeric designation system, I agree with eS that putting UF- in front of everything is just pointless clutter.

Also while it would be hilarious to leverage our experience with train-mounted runways into an articulated chain of destroyer-mounted runways, let's stick to normal carrier designs for now.

Kot mentioned in the Discord that he doesn't like that my flag uses muted colours. Is that something others have a problem with as well?

[Kot]

Spoiler: Forenian Jack (click to show/hide)

[Azzuro]

Actually, I voted for your flag because it uses muted colours. I don't like that the red-blue borders in other flags are accentuated by the brightness, when the flag is supposed to represent united Forenia.

EDIT: Forenian Jack looks good, I'll vote for that if you remove the white strips within the horizontal/vertical red strips and the thinner white circle within red centre circle to simplify it.

[Kot]

Why the hell people are so anal about being "united". We didin't get united by being nice to each other and either way there will be rivarly. The point is that this time we will have rivarly in who kills more damn Cannalans.
