No worries, I'll only use Cardassian sounding names... 
For the 19 Cardie ships that I have I'll only need about 5 new names...

The names were created by a certain games company that just happened to speak English...so there's obviously no influences there, Thorgrimm... 
Out of the entire list, the only non-English sounding names are:
...Well at least it's something!

Not that I want to beat an issue to death, but in that list you posted the names I have chosen WERE Royal Navy names.
Intruder, Punisher, Challenger, Inquisitor, Conqueror, Avenger, Vindicator, Relentless, Fearless, Indomitable, Dauntless, Vigilant, Valiant, Invincible, Courageous, Audacious, Jaguar, Tiger, Panther, Interceptor, Hunter, Jackal.
And these were just off the top of my head. There were others I was not sure of and could not include. So this is why I said your Cardie list had a Royal Navy flavor, not that is a bad thing at all.
I was not speaking of the language, but Royal Navy ship lists.
Cheers, Thorgrimm

Wow Flamand, you are so spoiling us with such treats! Awesome! I think every SF mod should have that battleship! It just so cool!

Ooh yeah, totally agree, that Battleship is awesome!
Massive...intimidating...imposing...the perfect Cardassian vessel!

Thorgrimm, as i've said before, all the Cardassian names are taken direct from BOTF - I could send you the text file if you want, but I doubt you'll want it...
But yeah, I did misunderstand what you meant by your comment.
Anyways, i'm happy enough discussing the names, afterall, I did help come up with the names for the ships for BOTF2...
Incidentally, Flamand, here's the official list of Federation starship names for BOTF2 - and they're sorted by ship class. The other races haven't had an official list made yet.
Federation Starship Names
I would have also posted links to the thread where we discussed the names of the ships, since i'm sure you'd find it interesting Thorgrimm, but the BOTF2 site is down at the moment - it usually happens for good reasons though.

How is the Kameri coming Flamand?

Here is the entire Cardassian First Fleet: Remal Battleship, Netel Dreadnaught, Kalon Battlecruiser, Telok Heavy cruiser, Galor Light cruiser, Chintaka destroyer, Brinok Frigate, Nerok Scout and the Toran Transport (looks like a flying hard drive ).
I'm going to cut down on the number of animated previews as they don't really serve any purpose. But instead I'm going to give still previes like here, just to save time and server space.
@Thor: I had to rearrange the unit types a bit to fit in the units the BotF2 crew gave me. This way I have 2 Cardassian fleets instead of 1. The first fleet will be all the brown-yellow ships, the second fleet will be the brown-orange ones. Hope you don't mind.
@Sword of Geddon: the Kameri is finished. You want me to give it an open release or just send it to your email? If so, you should PM me your email address.

With all the work that still needs to be done, probably just before First Contact...
For now we're aiming for next Fall to reach the play testing phase. The final release, who knows...

Nice, Flamand - two questions though - why does the shadow on the Kameri fighter change size - and why did you make the Netel a Dreadnaught? (It was a Destroyer in BOTF)
Not that those are complaints, it's your mod, and I like where it's going.

The shadow changes because of the light of the exhaust flames. And I had to rearrange the ships because the I had two separate fleets that needs to match each other a bit...

Very creative effect with the shadow of the fighter and the explosion of the Remal battleship is off the hook...thats insane! does that much detail slow the animation down though in the game?Have you play tested it yet too see??
awesome work!
awesome work!

If you think that is complex, check out my Prometheus . These animations won't slow the game down, not like they would in CivIV where the models need to be rendered in real time.

Flamand, I have no probs with that, I was kind of hoping you would do something like that to help fill out the Cardie OOB.
@ Matress, I have BOTF, got it when it first came out. Love the game. I prefer the Klingons in that game, Feds are way too soft for my play styles. While the Klingons are spot on.

YES! another great reason to stick with
![[civ3]](/images/smilies/civ3.gif "Civ3 Icon [civ3]")
and avoid the darkside(![[civ4]](/images/smilies/civ4.gif "Civ4 [civ4]")
).oops wrong sci-fi universe phrase or do trekkies have a darkside as well...
Anyway, thanks for the previews of these awesome units keep up the great work.

Well there is the Mirror verse..
Flamand feel free to release the Kameri publicly...
Flamand how are you guys going to do the Enterprise/Romulan War era ships for the Cardassians? You would have to come up with some original designs I think.

Dark side in Trek? That would be like the Borg queen saying to Janeway: "Kathryn, I am your mother"...
@Sword: ok, I'll release the Kameri tonight, together with my forcefield unit.
The Cardassians will only have 2 fleets, this being the first, more primitive one. It is impossible for me to make 4 fleets for each race. With 31 civ, that would be about 1500 units...
So only the Feds and the Klingons will have 4 fleets, the Rommies 3, and the rest 2 or less. This is also because for many races there aren't enough models available...
