    Luke's x-wing aside is there a single star fighter in science fiction that has a name beyond its make, model, or serial number?

    The virago

    Prince Isolder's Storm

    Pekaelic ke Teldan's Golden Yoke

    What'd you just say to me?

    Halo has a lot of good ship names!

    In Amber Clad
    Pillar of Autumn
    Spirit of Fire
    Truth and Reconciliation

    All I knew about was Pillar of Autumn (which is great)

    I just assumed Truth and Reconciliation was the title of that chapter and that's all

    I played through four Halo games and at no point did I have any clue about what was happening in them

    It seems to be a thing with Bungie games

    vic viper, from gradius

    and pretty much any mecha

    millenium falcon?

    Is the Vic Viper the name of the kind of spacecraft it is (like x-wing) or the name of that particular spacecraft?

    Mecha aren't starfighters... Wait are individual veritech fighters named?

    The Falcon' more freighter sized than a fighter. Same with Fett's Slave 1.

    Anything able to hold more than two people is either some kind of bomber or a transport.

    Okay so unique one-of-a-kind fighters have names.

    Also @Chincymcchilla the Gunstar One is the shit.

    Heavy Metal Queen

    You could use any cowboy bebop episode title for a ship name!

    ... Maybe not Toys in the Attic.

    Whether or not we can name our ships, I'm going to think of mine as the Rocinante, because as it turns out Cygnus X-1, Book II: Hemispheres holds a very important place in my heart.

    At the very least, I would bet that resource that was worth way way more money than everything else will not be the case anymore, and that was the main way he rocketed to the center

    They're also very careful in not saying "day 1 update," though, just "update 1"

    i guess the extended implication here is that your character in no man's sky is just leaving a trail of poos around the universe

    I don't see any indication that the PC release has been moved back up. Still Aug 12 on their site.

    And with no word back people have decided to operate on the assumption of a third party (Steam) as opposed to the official webiste?

    Just seems like a good way to take a day off for nothing

    The official site says August 12th worldwide

    It changed to the 12th on Steam for other countries and didn't in the US

    No Man’s Sky is a game about exploration and survival in an infinite procedurally generated galaxy, coming to PS4 on August 9th in North America and August 10th in Europe, and on PC worldwide on August 12th.

    I don't know how you can possibly read that as anything but "PC everywhere August 12th"

    To me that screams "PS4 these two days in these two regions, PC August 12th no matter where you are"

  • Mr. GMr. G Registered User regular
    Every storefront it's coming out on still says the 9th, and the Steam date changed for other territories when the About page changed and it didn't here

    I find it very hard to believe that we are a week before release, and a week after this question started, and they don't have the accurate date on the storefront that has the majority of the PC userbase by far

    Cancelled my limited edition pre-order

    Pre-ordered it on PSN instead

    I wanna play it right at midnight, and it's something I'll just want on my system at all times, and as pretty as the art book may end up being, I already have a bunch of art books/strategy guides that don't get much out of me

  • MaximumMaximum Registered User regular
    I ended up taking Tuesday off for this.

    I haven't been excited about any video game in a good long while. I'm not even sure I'm excited about this one yet, but I'll jump aboard the hype train.
