I dunno, I'd almost leave it as Speed Pack, considering the names of the others. Energy Pack = energy boost, Repair Pack = repair things, Shield Pack = get a shield. So Speed Pack = more speed.
And probably just Repair Turret like afex said.

Swift Pack
Accel Pack
Raptor Pack
I think that 'Repair Turret' is fine to.
Mangle-Me-Elmo 04-28-2004, 12:25 PM i dont care what the official names are
they will both be affectionately referred to by all as the:
crackpack and tendrilturret. This is not up for debate
VaporTrail 04-28-2004, 12:31 PM Kinetic Pack
and
(depening on how well it fits the model)
Repair Spike.
PyroGuNx* 04-28-2004, 12:49 PM Kinetic pack
Swift pack
Half-Wit 04-28-2004, 01:05 PM crystal meth pack
kicker 04-28-2004, 01:20 PM why the hell are you people making long long names for these things... anything longer than 3 sylables is just too long. Imagine being on TS or ventrillo and saying like, omg get a quadular speed multiplier pack, oh and be sure to get a rejuvinator health node turret too. i mean wtf... Make it something quick and easy.
Kinetic Pack gets my vote....
and as i posted in the other thread.
the repair thingy should be named according to it's look. If it looks like a turret then call it a repair turret, if it looks somewhat like a beacon, call it a repair beacon, if it looks like t1 style sensor jammer, call it a spike.

The Speed Pack's name CANNOT start with S. The entire point of remaning it is so that it will not interfering with the Shield Pack when saying abbreviations. SP is Shield Pack, the Speed Pack needs to be something else.
VaporTrail 04-28-2004, 01:37 PM anything longer than 3 sylables is just too long. Imagine being on TS or ventrillo and saying like, omg get a quadular speed multiplier pack,
Just be glad you don't work communications for the military... You'd hate the phonetic alphabet with a passion... ;)
Miracle 04-28-2004, 01:57 PM Quick pack or Kinetic Pack
Mender
(I still like Spaz Pack and Lovebuster but alas; they're too cartoonish.)
Killjoy 04-28-2004, 01:59 PM Bukkake turret and goatse pack

Dude, no one says "grab an Electro-Magnetic Flux Gun!" We say "get an ELF." Acronyms are win.
Vermouth 04-28-2004, 02:11 PM Now that's some classic textbook condescension Vermouth. :]
yeah.. i'm a bastard
but i call it like i see it. i don't know anyone even decent that referred to them in terms other than light/med/heavy.
Zoolooman 04-28-2004, 02:13 PM Oh, I know. Thankfully they call them light medium and heavy in T:V. Juggernaught has to be the corniest name in Tribes 2.
Rigel 04-28-2004, 02:32 PM stim pack?
Oh god... Shifter Nightmares :scared:
NeotiK 04-28-2004, 02:33 PM I still like the name "Repair Node" that I came up with in the round up thread. Yet, it just simply depends on how that object looks in game and how it repairs.
dunce_boy 04-28-2004, 02:42 PM this really reminds me of how they "renamed" all the armors in T2.
e.g.
heavy - juggernaut
medium - assault
light - scout
(or whatever) see, with they new names they were more dynamic and exciting. :rolleyes:
only morons called them by the new names.
<Charon> who is playing Juggernaut Offense tonight?

sounds to ut2k4'ish :shrug:
JohnnyX 04-28-2004, 03:24 PM Gonna repost in TT so everyone can see and support me (except special):
For the repair turret how about?
DART - Deployable Automated Repair Turret
1. It adequately describes the function of the deployable.
2. Everything in military operations are abbreviations and acronyms.
3. It's easy to say and hear on Ts2/Vent: "Go deploy some Darts by the HoF"
"Dart the gens" or "Dart our Flag area" would also probably be easy to say.
