Works for me!

Hard consonants are catchy.


Call it stuff whatever you want, but if you want it to stick, make it short, simple and self explanatory.

when you clicked on Engineers in Command & Conquer they would have these silly little phrases in a nerdy voice like "I've got the knowledge".

Maybe these "fabbers" should beep knowingly like Wall-E when you select them. Probably a terrible idea.

Yep, it's come up before;

Regarding Unit 'Voices'

I agree with you. The only other name I would go for would be erector. But that's cuz I'm a perv :mrgreen:

Synthesizers.
Synths for short.

I would call it workers.

I thought they were just called engies.

Arm had Farks......

Something similiar? Erectors would mean constant comedy though.

I think they should all just sound like the Breen from DS9.

The BUILDATRON

Optical Welders.

OW for short.

"I'm from the other team and I'm here to help!"


It's a J. Ringo reference for double win points.


That's assuming you have an issue with fab - which I don't.

Still liking Engie. Or more completely Engineer.

don't like "fabbers"

I'll probably still call them Engies

I'm sure something will pop up, and won't likely be what uber names them. Communities always seem to come up with the most bizarre or lazy shorthand.

Likely if they fallow the TA style and have different frames each one will have it's own name, for bots, vehicles or flying or whatever units they decide on.

I really like Composers!

I thought that after a couple of weeks, I would grow used to it.

But frankly, the more I hear it, the more I dislike it. For some reason, 'fabber' just sounds weird and unpleasant, and each time I read it I wince. No other name suggested in this thread sounds bad like that IMHO.

Please, don't use this name in the final game.

Agreed. It just sounds . . . odd. (Fabulous?)
The simplest route is usually the best, and given the past game history, engineer and constructor seem to be the most sensible.
