They can also be based on real names as well - I served with an officer whose callsign was "Nasty" because his name was "Manazir" and it was similar enough. Usually there's a naming ceremony at some point, which can be influenced by popularity or bribes or both. You DON'T get to pick your own - it's assigned to you by senior squadron mates who are borderline hazing you at the time. Nobody ever gets a badass callsign except through extreme sarcasm. "Maverick" would not have been a compliment. I've heard of one story where a fresh pilot was nicknamed "Boomer" because he broke the sound barrier accidentally flying low over a small rural town, which caused some trouble when the complaints started rolling in. That sort of thing. Experienced pilots can get renamed if they outgrow their earlier callsign AND do something impressive (or impressively stupid) enough to earn a new one. So for a 'mech jock, "Hotshot" might be earned if a bit of collateral damage from a miss had, for instance, set the defended objective on fire. EDIT: This website has a good batch of stories of how people got their callsigns. Most of them are honestly pretty mundane. Lemniscate Blue fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Mar 12, 2019 |

B is going to win and I'm happy about that, but I'm going to vote C so it doesn't get lost and we see some good outcomes there too.

Chronojam posted:That dude got to survive long enough to see his forces wrecked. And now he's sitting there, powerless in the face of the coming future way. And it's going to roll him. What would it take to take the Star Colonel as a bondsman? Smoke Jags are usually real lovely to bondsmen, but that could be another thing this new way of doing things changes. Use his time in bond to show him how effective the new tactics are.

Olothreutes posted:In the previous thread PTN designed a nasty Hellbringer that was just a pile of SSRM-6s and maybe a laser or two on, I think, a 5/8/5 platform with a bunch of armor. It was scary good. Every mech in the Luthien mission was finely tuned to kick enormous amounts of rear end. As long as you were sanguine about it.
