Trevor, the reason I stated that I did not like the names that he used was
that I was going to name other space craft in my fleet after those names and
that it would either appear as confusing to people or the fact that I stole
the names of the space craft, which I did not steal the names for his space
craft. The reason that I do not have any models for the space craft is that
a small mecha that I have been trying to build (at least on paper) for the
past few weeks (think of Exo Squad meets Mechwarrior) has been a thorn in my
side, particularly in designing the legs and I have not completed that
design until today and that I do not have LDraw so that I can show you what
my space craft would appear in Lugnet.
I know that his mistake was unintentional but I need the names of these
space craft or else I can not provide any complete listing for my space
craft, that is my space craft will not have a proper classification system
and I need the names because, as it currently exists with our United States
Navy, all ships have a designation class, such as a Benjamin Franklin class
submarine or a Seawolf class subamrine or a Arizona battleship or a Nimitz
aircraft carrier and space craft, particularly my space craft and most, if
not all, of the space craft on Lugnet and all of the affiliated computer
sites, also have to have designation classes. I want to use other names for
my space craft but none of the names that I have thought in my head have
been as effective as those names.
There are some ways that we can resolve this in a more peaceful manner,
Trevor. You and the person who used a name for their space craft that I
have been planning to use can help me think of new names for my space craft
or I can help this person desing space craft and we can work on the space
craft as a joint venture.

P.S. I have also been trying to make a way for my mecha, with the slight
repostioning of a few LEGO pieces, can also be used as a light space craft.
The arms of the mecha serve as small wings and the nose of the space craft
are the legs of the mecha. I hope that when I have it built that you are
impressed by this mecha.
