Well, It is a good description.. XD

[Nice Save]

I voted Capital-killer starship for descriptive purposes, but I reckon it would be better if it was shorter. Maybe Cap-killer or Anti-Capital, but Anti-Cap Starship sounds best to me.

Antimatter is my close second pick.

Okay, looks like we have a clear leader at this point.  From the next release:

* Siege Starships renamed to Antimatter Starships for the sake of clarity, and given the following new description text:
** This starship is the best capital killer in your basic fleet: excellent against starships, guard posts, guardians, most turrets, and other large ships like golems or spirecraft.  It is so specialized that it can't even fire upon most small mobile targets.  That said, many targets (forcefields, most fortresses and command stations, etc) are specifically protected against the Siege's antimatter bombs.

Having its descriptive text refer to it by its old name is a tad confusing in itself!

This ship has a veritable graveyard of history

[x4000]

Good god, how did I miss that in its own description!

And yeah, quite a graveyard here.

[ElChicoDiablo]

Can I throw in some ideas?
Since its needs charging maybe Yamato like in Starcraft1
..Annihilator , Cain .
Epanterias.
Or since it hits large targets..David or The Vid.

[Wingflier]

Out of curiosity, how was the Siege Starship (now Antimatter Starship) altered to spur this new name change?

I thought it hasn't been able to fire at shields for awhile now, what ultimately caused you guys to want to change its name again?

[x4000]

Yeah, that's been quite a long time.  Nothing really changed to make the name change needed, we just haven't done it until now; and there's been ongoing confusion about the name because of it.

Yeah, I was sending my Sieges to attack fortresses and wondering why nothing was happening, since a siege sounds like it should be able to attack fortresses. Now it sounds better and better fits the role.

[realcoolguy]

Maybe splash some flavor text into the description if it's not too long already.  Something to this effect:

Captain $flashyname looked out his window sipping coffee, taking a view of the recent wreckage, and the few remaining buildings that mocked him.  His ship had already destroyed the other capital ships, guard posts, and turrets in the region.  Yes there was nothing left for him to do except enjoy his coffee, and wait for the bomber regiment to arrive to mop up the remaining targets.  "Another cup sir?"  The captain shook his head looking disappointed.  "No matter how many times we change the ship's name, I just can't get through the anti-mater defenses!"  $dubious first officer salutes "We shall eventually find a name that will bring these last few AI buildings to their knees!  I've already prepped the crew to change the name again, on your order sir."  It wasn't certain who would cave first, the AI's resolve, or $flashyname's unusually paranoid reserve of paint.

I would like to add my own suggestion:

"Artillery With Engines"
