Heavy Corvette Designation (Why M6M?)

GBscientist · Post by **GBscientist** » Sat, 12. Jun 10, 18:35

When I look at the Heavy Corvettes using the Models and Stats Viewer, they are classified as M6M. Why is that? I would have called them M6H or M6+. I can see designating missile frigates M7M because their armaments are almost pure missile, but I can't see where the missile armament of the M6Ms differs from the normal M6s.

Actually, it's listed in game files as MM6.

The extra M stands for "Military" as well, not missile. I can see the misconception, though.

If the extra M stands for military, what's the first M stand for?

Military.

For a straight answer you'd probably be best off asking one of those who were part of the XTM team.

What?

I was just giving examples because 'Military Military 6' wouldn't have been very funny by itself.

Could be Military 6 Modified, I think thats what it was suppose to be when XTM came out

Could it be similar to "F.A.B." in that old Terran classic, Thunderbirds and have no meaning at all?
