Name the defenses of Galactic Annihilation!

​

So the defenses of Galactic Annihilation need to be named, and I need your help to do it.

Feel free to suggest anything, I'd prefer names fitting the theme of noun-ed verbs (EG Leveller, Slammer, Smasher, Stomper). Those I like will be implemented and the creators of the name credited.

Light Missile Tower - LMT

A weak defense structure built by the commander. Its missiles do low damage, but have long range, can target both air and ground, and are fired rapidly, but only in a volley for a few seconds. The tower is also cheap enough to be spammable.

Light Laser Tower - LLT
It's the same unit as in vanilla, except cheaper and weaker.

Heavy Laser Tower - HLT
Fires two heavy lasers per second at decent range (160) that do excellent damage. Fairly expensive.

Heavy Missile Tower - HMT
(AKA vanilla Galata) Fires a heavy anti-air AoE missile once every five or so seconds at long range. More or less anti-air artillery.

Riot Laser Tower - RLT
(AKA vanilla Advanced Laser) Fires a barrage of shots at short range that obliterate light units while relatively low health and short range make it easy prey for heavier units.

Sniper Laser Tower - SLT

Equivalent of Total Annihilation's annihilator, the SLT is equiped with a heavy railgun that obliterates armored targets at the longest range of any defense in the game (Sans holkins). A low rate of fire prevents it from being effective against light units.

Flak Cannon
It's more or less vanilla flak and, like vanilla flak, it needs a name.

Light Torpedo Launcher - LTL
Less dps/metal than the heavy torp launcher, but fires faster.

Heavy Torpedo Launcher - HTL
Fires slowly and deals overkill against lighter targets, but obliterates larger targets such as orcas and leviathans.

Nuke Launcher
Has two types of nukes, a tactical missile (The pacifier) that does low damage and is mostly about AoE, and a strategic nuke (The Silencer) that does high damage along with high aoe (but is ~four times as expensive).

Energy Barrier
The new wall model. Works like it does in vanilla, but costlier and with less health.

Wall
Old wall model, ~twice as large. Cheap, lots of health, but blocks both allied and enemy projectiles from passing through.

RLT = Ark thrower
Energy Barrier = Phalanx of Light
Wall = Bastion
LMT = Slingshot or Slinger
HTL = Nautilus
LLT = The Nail Gun
HLT = Wide Effect Ark Killer (W.E.A.K)
SLT = Slicer (Because it slices through armor)
TTL = Mino
Nuke Silo = Ragnarok
These were thought up in a few mins, I may edit them later if I have better suggestions

got one for the railgun ... how bout good ol´ thor ; thor´s hammer or mjolnir?


otherwise brainstorming

riot tower : buzzsaw, shredder or vulcan

light missile tower: archer

heavy beamtower: guardian

light beam tower: needler, midge


flak: hmm chastener sounds intresting ...

heavy missile launcher: whirlwind, tempest

torpedo launchers: trident , High tide, tsunami, torrent, current, vortex, mealstroem

nukelauncher: messenger, herold, harbinger
nuke: hermes
tactical missile: flasher

I think all defense should be named after exodus members.
You know for professionalism

HMT = BSporter
HTL = Quitcher
HLT = Proeleerter
SLT = Conundrumer
TTL = Mikeyer
Nuke Silo = Marshaller

(This has exposed to me that exodus esports has no "meet the team" page)

As soon as you name anything "BEEF" or "BACON" or any other non-cool name I will officially hate you.
Well not really , but I hate these "funny" names.

Btw:

HLT: Twin Star / Sentinel (Hooray for TA!)
HTL: Moray
Flak: Tornado / Tempest

It's cunningly hidden in the About section.

So clicking on a drop down menu goes to a page instead of opening the menu? D: What sorcery is this?

n-name one of them the Seeker

Here are some names for you to pick and fit:

Splitter

Tactical Nuke - Warming Smile

I think I'll let this go until next Monday. Keep these names coming, and edit posts if you come up with more ideas. Feel free to suggest multiple names for one turret or just give names that could be for anything, don't feel confined to giving one name for every turret.

"Watch out, that scone is coming right for us!"

New name for ant confirmed!

SLT = SeigeBreaker, Hell Bore
Light Torpedo Launcher - TTL = Tsunami
Heavy Torpedo Launcher - HTL = Hurricane
