Core vampires = Demon hands?

[PineappleSam]

Core vampires are called Core demon hands. This might be a feature rather than a bug, but it's the ONLY ship that's name changes as it becomes core. I assume it's a vampire as it has similiar abilities and shares the same symbol in the HUD.

Yep, it is indeed the vampire.  There are some others that have name changes, too.  Core Parasite is called Core Leech.  Core Raptor is called Core Predator.  And there are a handful of similar ones.

core laser gatlings are drones, core vampires are useless, etc.

Ah, gotcha. Tbh I’d prefer if ships had the same name throughout. With Leech ships I get a little confused with leech starships, and both predator and drone sounds like good names for (star)ships in their own right!

...and though I like most of the ship designs, the demon’s hand looks a little like a spider-bot that has flown through a gelatinous cube, which is a pity because the normal vampire design is one of those things that make them my favourite bonus ship

oh, and dont forget core astro planes.

Apparently 'space' wasnt high tech enough.

Also, 10k attack per volley per plane. In normal mode.

At some point I may change that.  Way back, that was how I was doing the core naming, but with the expansion I stopped doing that.  But right now I don't want to change the text because it would mess with the localization efforts.  A few months from now, when that is all through and behind... might make good sense to do.

I quite like the different naming scheme for Core ships.
