You know, I'm noticing a problem with this LP.

We haven't got nearly enough silly inspiring names for our ships! FF-4 Missile Frigate is all very well for dinky little corvettes, but surely our capital ships deserve something better! The Advisory Committee should get on this immediately to ensure the morale of our boys and girls in space. After all, how would YOU like fighting on a ship so expendable it doesn't warrant a name?

I propose that ship classes be named after classic X-Com monsters: The Sectoid class, the Cyberdisk class, etc. As for individual ship names, some suggestions!

Oh, by the way - I, Paolo Cavaliere, hero of Italy, would like to sign up for war amongst the stars! Preferably a position that allows...lucrative opportunities with the exciting new technologies being spread!

(If there's any kind of corruption trait, get me on that poo poo ASAP. Otherwise, though, simply being Italian is fine!)

There are only non-Italian corrupt people. As always, Italy remains the centre of model government compared to the seethingly corrupt and inefficient Germans. Would you prefer a corruption trait, or Italian nationality?

So I had to change my passport a few times to escape the long arm of the incorruptible Italian law, what of it? I, Paolo Cavaliere, care not so long as I can make a fortune!

I, Paolo Cavaliere, wish to make it known that I happened to find a fresh pair of Fleet Admiral pants, never used before, when it fell off the back of a space truck! If you wish to know the sublime joys of high rank and command (albeit only in your lower extremities,) you need but to contact me and I, Paolo Cavaliere, shall be happy to accommodate you for a perfectly reasonable fee!
