Rename missile silos

[Velox]

     I thought I recalled seeing this somewhere but couldn't find it.  In any case, as with shield bearers, it probably makes sense to rename the silos to match the redesignation of the units it produces.  How about "Warhead Foundry"?

There was much discussion about this in this thread when warheads were given their current name. Considering the amount of debate that went into it, I doubt it'll get changed without more support, but your opinion is certainly noted. They were named warheads to distinguish them from the missile ammo type, but keeping the name of the silo as 'missile silo' both sounds better than the majority of the alternatives (like warhead silo) and still makes sense (missile silos housing nuclear warheads, for example).

Is it your opinion that the name 'missile silo' is going to be a point of confusion for players? Confusion is certainly something we'd like to avoid, but in this case I'm uncertain if it's causing confusion.

We arrived at a sort of lesser of the evils situation during the last discussion, it was really a compromise on all fronts as Fiskbit suggests.

Missile Silo strikes me as by far the most appropriate name for the constructor. Additionally, missile would likely be the best term for the unit it produces, rather than warhead, but the need to distinguish them from the ammo type prevailed and hence they became warheads.

If enough players voice their concern in this topic we can certainly open up the possibility of once again changing the name, but I don't really have an issue with the current nomenclature.

How about calling them "Interstellar missiles", to distinguish from the regular short-range missiles? Like in the real world we have SRBMs, MRBMs, ICBMs, etc., differentiated by range. Just plain "warhead" isn't a terribly informative name, imo. Then the "Missile Silo" could become an "Interstellar Missile Silo" and everybody's happy.

EDIT: We could even call them "InterStellar Ballistic Missiles (ISBMs)" to give them that whole Defcon feel

     Oops!  So that's where it was - the discussion is coming back to me now.  My apologies for the repeat, and never mind!
