Author Topic:   Funny Unit Names

Do any of your Units have really funny names? Or do you just use the default ones? (Giving your Units strange names is a great confusion tactic in multiplayer...)
What Units can have really funny names?
For Example: Jumping Jack Flash
Chassis: Infantry
Weapon: Tachyon Bolt
Armour: None
Reactor: Quantum
Special Abilities: Drop Pods and Nerve Gas Pods
Do you have any other funny unit design ideas?

I have one called Eye Spy Garrison
Chasis:Infantry
Weapon:hand
Armor: Any
Special: 50% Psy Defence
Now look at the unit. That thing looks like an eye. Creeeeeeepy. Anyway, it's great for when you feel the urge to terraform the heck out of the planet and have to worry about mind worms (ugh!)

Playing as UoP, I have been tempted to name my non-lethal units Campus Police, my garrison units ROTC, my rovers Fratboys, my foils Crew Team, etc. In practice, I just don't get around to it.

All rovers are "Buggy's" in my game. Anything with treads (those tank wheels) automatically gets named "Laser Tread" "Gatling Tread" "Red Gatling Tread" ect (red being the color of the armour ect..)
unitls with morale get "Happy" tacked on to the front of their name, nerve gas units get "Farting" tacked on to the front "Happy Red Farting Impact Buggy"
Anything with artillery is a 'bomber" "Red Fart Bomber Buggy"

Is there any way to prevent workshop to reinstate the default naming when you upgrade a FNU (Funny Named Unit)?
Will one have to re-edit everytime the names?
Can't the game recognize & keep your edits consistently? What if you edit the .txt file?
