I've resized the model so now the guns on both ships match. ( now you can see why it is a Gunstar.)

[shadow3]

ice dragon where did you learn to model those ships and what software do you use?

[Elffin]

Hi guys
This is the only name I've come up with so far:- Váli - God of revenge.

[shadow3]

Simuns

pronounced sim-u-ns

[Semperphi]

got this from the net

Deimus or Phobus

DEIMOS (or Deimus) was the god or spirit (Spirit) of fear, dread and terror, and his twin-brother PHOBOS (Phobus) of panic fear, flight and rout in battle.
They were the charioteers of their father Ares, the god of war, who accompanied him into the midst of battle.

Kinda fits for the roll of the ship. I will keep looking

Edit: found another
Talos
TALOS was a giant, bronze automoton or living statue forged by the divine smith Hephaistos. Zeus presented him to his lover Europa, as her personal protector, after delivering her to the island of Krete.....
Talos was given the task of patrolling the island, circling it three times in a day, and driving pirates from the shore with volleys of rocks or a fiery death-embrace

This may be hoki but Semper Fi Translation: always faithful

Edit2: found some more
Dryad
Griffin
Hippogriff
Paladin
Medusa
Siren
Wyvern
Ronin

Hi guys two things to let you know.

First:- I have just upgraded my pc and found that the Gunstar was lost :cry: but I have done a rebuild and i think it now looks better. You can see for yourself Here (http://www.thexuniverse.com/viewtopic.php?p=74761#74761) you can also see a full list of the names you have given.

Second:- don't forget you still have one week left to post your name suggestions.

[Elffin]

Some more...

Icarus
Olympica
Heracles
Alcmena
Conquest
Avalon
Pendragon

[apollo]

I like Olympica!

[apollo]

It's definately looking good I-D. I think I'd cry though if I lost a model.
I'm still trying to think of a name.

[Mokonzi]

I'd suggest making sure several on the team have a copy of all models, that way it's harder for them to get lost.

[Stevio]

as i said on msn ID definitely an improvement ;)
good idea moko

[Jey 16]

Yes that´´s important - remebered some old XTM Modells from Mox old harddrive

Podracer etc. ?! that should never happen again

[Ice-Dragon]

Here are the names for all three.

1-The Gunstar Cronus.
2-The Gunstar Taurus.
3-The Gunstar Vali.

Thank you very much for all the names.
