Restored to top of Ideas due to Evolution Engine is already taken.
So, the guy who made this topic made a great prediction, and should be in the stock business.
So, any one got ideas of names for the engine, since the <a href="http://twitter.com/NS2" target="_blank">Twitter Update</a> shows that some digital company or whatever has Evolution Engine for them. Maybe the playtesters or the great Dev team itself can look at this for possible replacements. Please make sure to research the name to make sure another company doesn't already have the engine name.
(I Will continue to edit this list with all ideas) Engine Idea Names: -Universe Engine -Planet Engine -Moon Engine

So much for a quick death to this "not" so locked topic <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad-fix.gif" /> lol .
i think the devs should decide how to name theyr engine.
it should have something to do whit NS2 and UWE, whitout pointing directly to it. also it should reflect the possibilitys and flaws of it, it should be short and clear, so that everyone know what it is, source. everyone know what is meand when someone says source. or unreal.
Ryknow, forums are a place for debate and discussion, not telling people to be quite, shut up or shush when you disagree or don't like what they express. Please keep your fascist personality for elsewhere.
And so this isn't just a poor tasting comment, another idea:
im a person of debate, but i know a sarcastic idiot when i see one, im one, i know, and this isnt a fun topic, but a topic for ideas of a new engine name that can give the dev team some ideas.

Resource is awfully close to Source, imho.
the Darwin idea is ok, but how about <b>Darwingine</b> or <b>DarwEngine</b> or some variant of combining the two words?
I didn't see anyone post: <b>Constellation Engine</b> That is keeping with the space theme, and gives a nod to those that have supported NS in it's growth.
I'm impressed with the Engine Demo video with the lighting and stuff. Perhaps the engine name should reflect something about what the engine is capable of or does particularly well.
<b>Adaptation Engine</b>
I also liked the <b>EvolutioNS Engine</b> idea that was posted.
- "A white dwarf star that suddenly and temporarily becomes extremely bright as a result of the explosion at its surface of material accreted from an expanding companion star."

Engine Idea Names:
-Universe Engine
-Planet Engine
-Moon Engine
Quoted For Agreement.
So, we need ideas, so the Dev's can get ideas, So we can have a named engine.
it should have something to do whit NS2 and UWE, whitout pointing directly to it. also it should reflect the possibilitys and flaws of it, it should be short and clear, so that everyone know what it is, source. everyone know what is meand when someone says source. or unreal.
please stop. discussion at this point is moot. for all we know, they already named it.
die thread die.

Coretech just sounds cool. Pronounce "Core Tech" of course.
