Tammy Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 That does sound right. I don't think it'll matter though. I still like the name. It has all the right connotations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 It's a mythological bird that burns and then rises from the ashes...yes, it's more complex than that, but that's detailed enough to explain why I want it for the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 It's covered in more detail by Alan up there ABasically like Tammy said it is to represent the remnants of Earth rising from the ashes of the alien destruction of earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warlord Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 Most of those terms are not exclusive to the American military. I posted them in hopes that they would jump-start someone's imagination.

Tammy Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 My batteries are just fine, thank you. Anyway, as long as it's Phoenix, I'm happy. Of course, ALTAR may not care if I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted August 12, 2002 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 I vote for Phoenix Force ! *shrugs* "i'm not sure about the alliteration" said Peter Parker to John J. Jameson. it might work --------------for those not in the know:alliteration: haveing two(or more) words that start with the same sound/letter one after another. eg: Peter Parker. the quote is from the book of the spiderman movie, where they are discussing the name of the green goblin.

chill_trigger Posted September 7, 2002 Report Share Posted September 7, 2002 hey guys how bout somthing like Surviving Terran Organized Reclaimation Movement or.....S.T.O.R.M. (ta-da!) Gas Boy (in Spanish): there's a storm coming Sarah Conner: I know...(drives off) Let's face it, the survivors will not be a highly funded first-world subsidized military operation, it would be like the guerilla movement in Terminator and "Al-kinda" :angel: in real-life, hidden bases, paramilitary ops(tiptoe in BOOM tiptoe out), therefore a movement seems more sensible. or Pheonix Rebirth (a bit redundant) somehow i think that pheonix should be d name of a ultimate game ending vehicle, not unlike Avenger. or The Remnant Resistance (brain on empty) I wouldn't want to call a group of ragtag survivors a real military sounding name. it kinda ignores the fact that they are undermanned, undergunned and well in over their heads against techno-superior aliens that just wiped out 99% of the human population... Anyway, Good Luck on the game, guys. its time X-com1 got a decent successor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazdek Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Let's face it, the survivors will not be a highly funded first-world subsidized military operation, it would be like the guerilla movement in Terminator and "Al-kinda" in real-life, hidden bases, paramilitary ops...If you were referring to Al-Queda (I think thats a closer spelling, maybe its Al-Quaeda) (may they all die screaming in anguish), they're not a poorly funded guerrilla organization. Their leader (whose name is not worth my breath to utter) is a millionaire, son of an oil tycoon or something. Though his family has disowned him, he still has/had lots of money and used it to fund the training camps and the operations & logistics and the individual cells. But enough about them. I kinda disagree. In Terminator, they were in a post-war wasteland. UFO:A is not like that, the infrastructure of the entire world will be completely intact. The aliens just poison the air and kill most of all life. Those that survive have access to everything that stood before the invasion, and with training can bring it all to bear on the Aliens.

Shabado Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 Umm well I was under the impression that the survivors were protected in underground bunkers of some kind, and so they're not going to be any old idiots. SO they're not going to be a small group of rag-tag soldiers, they're gonna be some really, really rich people/ important government-type people. I was thinking the style of the group to be something along the lines of the Brotherhood of Steel from the Fallout games, like military/government people with cutting edge technology and good equipment, who come up and gather up any remaining survivors. From what I've heard, I'm not sure anyone outside of a bunker would have survived, so perhaps it is just a bunch of people who got a tad paranoid when they saw massed clouds of death raining down on them and ran for an abandoned nuke shelter of some kind. But then, who would fly the jet planes? And research obscure alien technology? Can YOU fly a jet fighter, intercept a far superior UFO and survive without hitting the side of a mountain? Unfortunately, I'm not very original when I try to think of names so all I can think of right now is 'The Enclave', 'The Improbable Mission Facility' or 'Phoenix Force'.
