Kzinti

[computerarif]

Thinking about playing kzinti in acta:sf and was wondering if some one has any tactics/strategy advice to give me on playing them.

Also for the names of the ships was thinking of going totally off and do famous cats in tv/movies. like:

Heathcliff
Garfield
Thundercats
Lion-O
Panthro
Tygra
Lion King
Simba
Avatar
Neytiri


Any more names?

 

[MarkDawg]

All I have to say about this thread is Snarf.

 

[Iron Domokun]

Nermal.
Puss in Boots.
Pink Panther.
Sher Khan (spelling?) from the Jungle Book.
Midnight Louie (from Carole Nelson Douglas' detective novels, he's a cat who is a detective).

 

[MongooseMatt]

Flagship should be called Top Cat...

I offer the following wiki link, with theproviso that you need to look at the sublists linked of that page as well.

Many many cats

Right. Adding insult to injury then.

Evil Kzinti player just rubbing salt into the wounds. :evil:

After blowing up your ship from half way across the map with no change of you either returning fire or surviving he happily declares the last salvo (that kills you) is being launched by the Kzinti ship "Puss in Boot". :roll:

Kzinti players. Widely hated everywhere :wink: :lol:

 

[Myrm]

No....that's the Lyrans. Kzinti are our friends....cough splutter, *inhales from gas tap*.

 

[deadshane]

Flagship should be called Top Cat...

Noone under the age of 35 is going to remember that as a cartoon.

It's great being old.

Another good source of feline names is Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T.S.Eliot.

Meanwhile, there are two words which should strike fear into the heart of any Kzinti commander, or perhaps anyone facing defeat by a Kzinti commander:

Hello Kitty

Speak for yourself, some of us don’t seem to be aging as well as others. :roll:

Wait. :?
WHAT. :shock:
The lyran can kill my poor Gorn ships from half way across the map with no chance of either returning fire or surviving. :shock:
WHAT. :shock:
HOW. :shock:
With ESGs? :shock: :shock:

Nerf the Lyran. :twisted: :wink:

28, watched Top Cat quite often on Cartoon Network and Boomerang while growing up.

Fleabag

Mangy

Sanity Claws

And for us (possibly quite old) UK members, has to be : - Arthur 8)

Another good source of feline names is Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T.S.Eliot.

I once named a thief character Mungojerrie (or Rumpleteazer).

And for us (possibly quite old) UK members, has to be :

Surely that old, saggy cloth cat - Bagpuss!

 

[computerarif]

Frear not Lyrans will be my next race to play when the rules for them come out. Phaser-G's and ESG all the way :twisted:

Thats the LDR. Your regular Lyrans get Phaser 3s :lol:

 

[Reynard]

Old?! I give you old! These are ship names from the Hegemony's early years. A few are remembered fondly by kzinti while other fell into obscurity.

Felix
Reddy
Krazy Kat
Sylvester
Mr Jinks
Tom
Sourpuss

 

[computerarif]

Sorry my bad. Yes LDR Lyrans(the smart ones) get phaser-g. Will they do LDR in acta:sf? I will gladly pay the extra points for them. Had to in Fed Com anyway

 

[Nerroth]

The citizens of the LDR might not have been feeling overly good about themselves once the Andromedans came a-knocking in Y195...

True, but quite a few players were grateful they were out of the game (probably the only time the universe was grateful to the andromedans)

My contribution to the name a Kzinti ship non-competition. Mowser (the priceless puss).
