' Wrote:My point is, they're named after one-handed, finesse blades. Things you'd use in a duel. Not some big cutlass.
Cutlasses are roughly the same size as a Sabre. Cutlasses are described as short thick blades. You can use any bladed weapon in a duel, so your argument holds no ground there. Not only that, but bombers are larger and more powerful than fighters, so the name of a heavier blade fits to me, even if the frame of this bomber is not exactly heavy. The ship is certainly heavier than a VHF, too.
' Wrote:Rapier is already a Corsair pulse gun. Unfortonatly, the Lane Hackers stole the last of the decent names it seems...
I used a crap translation site for this but, "Espada" is sword in Spanish? "Accetta" is axe in Italian... it's sort of limited since the Lane Hackers are using sword/blade/whatever names as well.
I'd prefer to avoid relations to Spain in the name. Falcata is a Hispanic sword. This Border World bomber holds no origins in either of the Hispanic houses.
