nope, the nicknames, I'm afraid ain't open to a public suggestion.
I tried to get the HGauss Shiva nicknamed "kickass" but it didn't make it either (though I call it Kickass anyway ).

I don't quite understand why people call the Bushy A Warthog and not the RAC Shiva...

I suppose its just because of the crude design of the Bushwacker in combination with the dual RAC-5.

And if an ASF would be called Warthog it should look more like the A-10 IMO. And then this would kill the idea of a Nickname.

For the Shiva with the 4 RAC-5 'Sturmovik' would be more apropriate IMAO.

Not doing this for dev's to put in i ment this as a community driven nicknames. So its something thats becomes more natural in IDing certain mechs


personally i want my adder c called mini nova

[(TLL)KitLightning]

In that case any Novacat regardless of the variant should be named "the Slut"!

Because the A-10 warthog actually kills ground targets where as the rac shiva kinda hovers burps at a target for a second until every mech within 1km rape it. Its a beast on air targets though.. We could call it The Baron...

[Makaan]

New names.

bushwacker Variant B: Potshot
Catapult Variant B: Bee Hive

[CHHš Sturmadler]

No promises, but I don't see any harm in this thread.

[xInVicTuSx]

I've always tended to nickname the Mauler C 'Dragon' myself.

[=KoS= Eldragon]

Devs can Have their "official" nicknames all they want, I'm still going to call the Novacat A the "Lasercat".

[~SJ~ Atlessa]

And the Madcat Prime has been nicknamed "Heavycat" by one certain member of ~SJ~
