[thunderfoot]

Something I did awhiles back.

Spoiler: In Soviet Russia...

And now kids, it is time for this week's episode of...

"Uncle Thunder's Armada 2 Definitions!"
*ominous music swells alarmingly*​

Each week(or whenever we feel like it) we are going to bring you the A2 definition of ordinary words.

Spoiler: Ambition. (n)

A highly desirable quality for starship captains. Enables them to think about taking chances mere mortals would never consider.

Spoiler: Boldness (adj)

Ambition brought to action. Sometimes foolhardy action. This is also a highly desirable quality in starship captains.

Spoiler: Borg (n)

One of the six playable races found in A2. Usually opposes Starfleet. The nerve! How dare they?

Spoiler: Casualty (n)

The typical aftermath of boldness following ambition. Unless the starship captain has a wingman. See Wingman.

Spoiler: Cloaking (v)

A not very nice ability given to races which oppose Starfleet in A2. Allows them to sneak about like some sort of Interstellar Peeping Tom and spy on people. Starfleet ships have no need to sneak about in such a manner. Because they are the Good Guys.

Spoiler: Cube (n)

Principal Borg ship found in A2. Comes in a variety of sizes and styles. Primary target for Starfleet HeroShips. See HeroShip.

Spoiler: Disbelief (adv)

Quality exhibited by other starship captains whenever a Heroship captain does something amazingly stupid and gets away with it. May cause a Casualty if exhibited too long. See Casualty.

Spoiler: Non Canon Ship (n)

A ship from a non Star Trek film, tv series, or game placed within A2 and used as a normal ship. Usually has far too many weapons and can cause extreme mental distress to a simon-pure FanBoy. Unless he is the one who made it.

Spoiler: Pluck (adv)

Another highly desirable quality for HeroShip captains. Allows them to place themselves in ridiculous situations while maintaining the thought they will prevail. Usually induced by under informed screenwriters who are not FanBoys.

Spoiler: Science Ship (n)

A vessel in A2 which mounts weapons which are much more powerful, or deadly, or cooler than the weapons Starfleet ships have. No fair! Cheater!

Spoiler: Secondary Weapon (n)

A weapon which is not as powerful as a Primary Weapon. Nor is it as much fun to shoot at the enemy. It gets the job done, but it is usually not emotionally satisfying at all.

Spoiler: Ship (n)

a Starfleet vessel.

Spoiler: Target (n)

All non Starfleet vessels in A2. Primary purpose is to provide things for Starfleet vessels to shoot at.

Spoiler: Wingman (n)

The vessel commanded by a close personal friend of a starship captain. Primary purpose is to die in a spectacular fashion while the starship captain arrives too late to save them. This allows the starship captain to exact revenge right after the commercial break.

 

[Jetfreak]

Oh those are absolutely lulz, I really laughed on the whole batch

 

[Terra_Inc]

Oh, I remember those from A2files. Still funny

 

[Ryderstorm]

I especialy like the meaning of "non cannon" lolz. good stuff good stuff!

 

[thunderfoot]

Thank you, one and all. I'm glad I could make someone laugh. And now,

"Uncle Thunder's Armada 2 Definitions - Part 2"​

Spoiler: Asteroid Fields (n)

A terrain feature found In A2. Intended to prevent a player's ships from going in a certain direction. AI controlled and opponent's ships are not similarly impeded. Asteroid Fields are especially good at snaring player controlled mining ships.

Spoiler: Nebula (n)

Another A2 terrain feature, these are large clouds of dust and gas which cause various deletorious effects to a player's ships. Also makes a pretty nifty hiding place for AI controlled and opponent's ships to ambush a player's last fleet from.

Spoiler: Battleship (n)

Most popular ship in A2. All players build as many of these as possible. Because AI controlled and opponent ships swat all other ship classes like flies.

Spoiler: Bugs (n) plural

Nickname for Species 8472 race in A2, a rather unpopular race. The Bugs are especially disliked when AI controlled or used by an opponent in an online game.

Spoiler: Fighter (n)

A number of Non Canon Ships placed into A2 by modders who've spent too much time playing flight simulators and desired the ability to recreate scenes of fighter combat from non Star Trek films and TV series in A2. Sometimes treated with contempt and scorn by overly emotional simon-pure FanBoys. Unless they made the fighter. Then, "It's 'Kewel!'.

Spoiler: HeroShip (n)

Special type pf ship found in A2 which is far more powerful than regular ships. Also much cooler than regular ships. All starship Captains aspire to command a HeroShip someday.

Spoiler: HeroShip, MkII (n)

Because some people cannot leave well enough alone, the HeroShip MkII was created. Even more powerful and waay waay cooler than a regular HeroShip. Players possessing one of these during an A2 game have been known to giggle uncontrollably as it approaches an enemy fleet.
Bwah. Hah. Hah. Hah. Hah.

Spoiler: HeroShip, MkIII (n)

Less well liked than its cousins for unknown reasons, this version of the HeroShip does not have as many afficianados. Curiously, because this is usually the very last of HeroShips made by a modder, the quality of the model and textures is perfect!

Spoiler: Villain Ship (n)

Because Mad Doc developers labored under the misguided impression A2 players want a challenging, evenly matched, fair contest, they gave HeroShips to the AI and also made them available to opponents! (GASP! The Horror!) Worse they actually made these capable of defeating player controlled HeroShips in single combat. As a counter to this, players have learned to make and build GodShips. See GodShip.

 

[Jetfreak]

Hehe, definitely fine additions to the expanding vocabulary. Love em'

 

[Majestic]

Love the villain ship and hero mark 2. Brilliant.

 

[Ryderstorm]

Im in agreement with Majestic.

This is also fast becoming my favorite thread of all time.

 

[Ryderstorm]

Sorry to double post but I came up with one...

Spoiler: ...and the defiant said.....

 

[thunderfoot]

Niiice, Ryderstorm. More please?

 

[Jetfreak]

hehe, looks like the ferengi got a good bargain out of that one.

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
Those are just great pics, I like very much the vocabulary pics.
Keep up the great work everybody!

 

[Jetfreak]

Here's a quick one:

Spoiler: choochoo

 

[thunderfoot]

w00t! w00t! chuggachugga chuggachugga chuggachugga...

lulz on rails!

 

[FallenGraces]

lets just enjoy it for what it is....a joke

[not done by me lol...as if i could]

 

[Jetfreak]

That depends, I myself had times when I itched to blow up the AR Enterprise ingame.

 

[thunderfoot]

"Uncle Thunder's Armada 2 Definitions - Part 3"​

Spoiler: GodShip (n)

A very large ship which carries a ridiculous number of weapons and has a maxHealth strength well north of 2,000,000+. Typically, these ships cost 1 unit each of metal and dilithium to build and normally have a buildTime measured in milliseconds. They also usually carry a Special Weapon which is so powerful it causes Armada 2 to crash to desktop followed by a catastrophic HDD failure. This weapon is almost too powerful. GodShip developers normally try to balance the GodShip to the game by not making sprites, game buttons, odfs, and SODs for the Special Weapon.

Spoiler: Scout (n)

A small, inoffensive little vessel include by the Mad Doc developers. Intended to be a cost effective way to recon the map. A Scout's real purpose is to serve as portable armor for a player's Battleships by absorbing weapons fire which a sensible AI would apply to the Battleships.

Spoiler: Destroyer (n)

A slightly bigger version of the Scout. Serves the same purpose. However, Destroyers actually have weapons.

Spoiler: Frigate (n)

An odd vessel which combines the worst features of the Scout and the Destroyer into one handy package. Normally mounts a Special Weapon which makes everyone else's weapons work better. Another unusual feature of this type of ship is the Mad Doc developers went out of their way to make Frigates as unattractive and helpless as possible.

Spoiler: Assault Ship (n)

A handy little ship for sending in the Marines. Despite their small size, these ships carry a large crew complement. So all the marines must be very tiny.
'We represent the Lollipop Guild...'

Spoiler: Artillery Cruiser (n)

These ships mount a really really big gun. Which fires a really really slow torpedo. Which hurts really really badly if one gets hit with it. However, since it takes about a week to get to the target, there is little need to be concerned.

Spoiler: Light Cruiser (n)

Special type of Q-Ship(no pun intended) which is more expensive than a Heavy Cruiser, takes longer to build, and has more powerful weapons.
The term 'Light Cruiser' is intended to lull your worthy opponent into a false sense of security.

Spoiler: Heavy Cruiser (n)

As with the Light Cruiser, this ship type's name is also intended to be misleading. These large, weak, underpowered vessels support battleships when the battleships are attacking something. They do this by absorbing weapons fire intended for the Battleship. Unlike a Scout or a Destroyer these ships can take two hits before exploding. The one Exception to this in the Stock Game is the Klingon Vor'cha class. A Vor'cha can actually do something by itself other than look good and serve as portable armor.

 

[Jetfreak]

If ever, I cant wait for the next batch. Who knows what future entries may hold...^_^


Here's a few of mine:

Spoiler: lol

 

[Majestic]

Very enjoyable Thunderfoot and Jetfreak. Thunderfoot, those images are great, I like how you've not just used the one race but multiple races. Oh and who's Akira is that? Is it Aad Moerman's? I also like the terminology of well all of them. The light cruiser is so true, as is the destroyer just shows how stock can be improved with a touch of modding the odfs.

Jet, those are great, especially the last one it's my favourite out of the three.

 

[StarBlade]

Now I'm curious. If the Prometheus initiates multi-vector attack mode, does it lose its Quad Nacelle Club status until it rejoins as a single ship? Either way, it's in good company.

 

[Terra_Inc]

TF, your A2 definitions are already gaining cult status. When you've done them all, someone has to make a PDF version of this.

Jet, these lulz are awesome! U can has hug! *hugs Jetfreak*

 

[thunderfoot]

Maj, the Akira is K_merse's. Sure is a looker isn't it? About 2,100 faces. He totally agrees with you about properly built and properly textured. Akira is my fav Starfleet vessel and this is my fav version of her. Terra, thank you for the flowers, lol. As to 'cult status', I am unsure about this. I have a loong way to go before my definitions are as viral as "Pants on the Ground Guy". Uncle Thunder has left the building but he did give me permission to post these before he disappeared. Enjoy!

Spoiler: SPAM!

Spoiler: It's not for dinner...

Spoiler: Putting a name here would spoil the joke

I naow haz a happeh becaws I got to share a funneh with all of u.​

 

[Jetfreak]

Hmmm, I wonder that certain someone who is referenced in the last part? Oh right, it's...

Also, I like curry very much. The local versions here are not for the faint of heart.


Funneh stuff

 

[Terra_Inc]

I naow haz a happeh becaws I got to share a funneh with all of u.​

w00t! U can has cheezburgr! Or donut, if u liek. To givez u anuther happee.

Well done, great lulz. I didn't get the last one, though.

 

[thunderfoot]

I didn't get the last one, though.

A Cardassian destroyer taking on a whole Klingon battle group? By itself?

 

[Majestic]

Maj, the Akira is K_merse's. Sure is a looker isn't it? About 2,100 faces. He totally agrees with you about properly built and properly textured.

I prefer Aad Moerman's personally, but I agree a beautiful ship the Akira is and she always makes it into my TNG installs as a heavy cruiser. Basically the TNG version of the Constitution in hull type.

Oh and the Curry picture, very funny I loved it.

 

[StarBlade]

I decided I should get in on the fun.

Images are attached. Enjoy!

 

[Ryderstorm]

Thats some great stuff there Starfleet Kid
