DErankXivender, Firepluk, do you want to call it an Ore Extractor then?

The resources could remind someone of Total Annihilation too, let's call them mineral and electricity instead.

Minerals is too much SC... let's call it "grey stuff" and let's call energy "yellow thing"

Cool sarcasm. Only there's a difference between calling a metal extractor a Metal Extractor and (say) a large tank with two gun barrels a Reaper.

"Foundry" sounds odd when it comes to nano-powered magic. But it might be a good idea to find alternatives for "factory".

Wat?

Mex could be "Material Extractor". Can't use "Mass" because Supcom. :P
Or better yet, call it "Stuff Extractor".

I guess Advgeo is weird because it can't be built directly.

If we are going for historical references, the Antinuke should be renamed the Stanislav, in honor of Lt. Col. Stanislav Petrov a.k.a the guy who literally saved the world from nuclear suicide.

By consensus of coredev mostly, as I understand it.

I agree FRrankThornEel.

We shouldn't pass up on the chance to use Petrov for the Anti-Nuke and Truman for the Nuke. They are such great historical references that keep getting passed up by everything really, that are so apropos for Zero-K.

Honestly, only a few unit names are used in teamgames. Nobody will say "watch out for the gremlins", only "AA there"

But of these few important names, many have changed, like krow, bantha, sumo, golly (why change a god for another one btw?), reaper, cata. Some time to assimilate the new ones will be needed or maybe people will play with two sets of important names.

So, as there is Likho unit (that is nice), I propose to have Gfrog named unit. Also probably Fpluk (assuming there is trolly enough unit), as creating game mythos this way is a Good Thing.
