The Pirate’s Stilat Corvette should be given a more suitable name, like any other pirate ship: Pirate Corsair, Pirate Rogue, Pirate Pillager, Pirate Reaper, Pirate Cutthroat, etc. and be listed as: Pirate <NAME >, right now it shows as “Stilat Corvette”, this is inconsistent with all other Pirate units’ names. What would be a good name for the ship? Suggestions anyone?

Also it should have no shields, and it would be nice if the model had all the spikes and some pirate hologram/flag just like all the other Pirate ships.

What do you think?

Edit: Ok so far we have this suggested names:

  • Pirate Avenger
  • Pirate Brimstone
  • Pirate Buccaneer
  • Pirate Corvette
  • Pirate Cutlass
  • Pirate Engine-gutter
  • Pirate Fore-runner
  • Pirate Frenzy 
  • Pirate Gouger
  • Pirate Knave
  • Pirate Looter
  • Pirate Marauder
  • Pirate Opportunist
  • Pirate Outrider
  • Pirate Phantom
  • Pirate Piranha
  • Pirate Plunderer
  • Pirate Privateer
  • Pirate Rapier
  • Pirate Ravager
  • Pirate Ravisher
  • Pirate Relinquisher
  • Pirate Ripper
  • Pirate Saboteur
  • Pirate Sabre
  • Pirate Scourge 
  • Pirate Shank
  • Pirate Tearer
  • Pirate Y-wings

Nice names! Altough I don´t think some of the names fits very well with the lore. Keep them coming.

Corvette is actually a pretty piratey term, or at least one that originated with the age of sail. What they should do is change the pirate corvette and mine hud icons to be green like the rest instead of TEC yellow. Agree about the shields though.

I think the devs will get around to it. They may have put them in to see how we would react.

And my vote is......

HELL YAY KEEP THEM IN!

If not I will add them to Distant Stars.

How about Pirate Ravager? If it keeps the same line of damaging internal systems like it's TEC cousins, I'd think it'd be appropriate...

I like Ravager.

My suggestions would be: Scourge, Frenzy, Brimstone, or Shank

I would have suggested "Raider" but when the announcer says "Pirate raiders are on the loose/have departed" it would imply its just a bunch of corvettes coming for you.

 

edit: oh, and needs more spikes

Perhaps a couple "fangs" hanging below the turret mounts? Or would that look too cheesy?

Yes fangs, and spikes on the back would look very piratey!

One of the modelers is a Wing Commander fan?  That Pirate Corvette looks like an Avenger.  So why not just call it the Pirate Avenger?

Hmm, how about 'Pirate Gouger', or 'Pirate Ripper', or 'Pirate Tearer'. (fyi, not tear as in crying)
