Jean-Luc Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Xenonauts: The Only Line of Defense (And if We Fail You All Become Xenobait So You Better Not Be Stingy With The Funding) Quote
raidsoft Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I like that one, extremely fitting as no other organization has any actual chance against them so you are the only defense... Thumbs up for that one! Quote
Gauddlike Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Xenonauts: The thin blue line. Those jumpsuits are VERY blue. Xenonauts: Like Men in Black but with bigger guns. Xenonauts: For when alien excretions hit the rotary air impeller. Quote
Wolfpox Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 I like "Xenonauts: Quid Agis Translated: "Xenonauts: What's going on?" hahaha I think the motto, if there is one, should emphasize the bravery of those who are willing to fight aliens. "COURAGE AND EXPLORATION" or "BEYOND BRAVE" Hm, its interesting to mull over Quote
Elydo Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 "Xenonauts - Place your bets now" or "Xenonauts - Locus vestri beneficium iam" Alternatively, being unoriginal; "Xenonauts - Make the rubble bounce" Quote
Gauddlike Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 If it wasn't flattened, it wasn't Xenonauts® Quote
Bagsman Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 How about something like "Etiam non timebit ignotum" (We shall fear no unknown) playing on the "I shall fear no evil" from Christian.. stuff. My other ideas were "Purge the Deep" (Expurgate abyssi) or "Purge the Unknown" (Expurgate ignotum)... Something like that. Quote
Wolfpox Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 If its more than 7 syllables, it won't work Quote
Elydo Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Nice hat-tips to the inspirations for the game there Bagsman. Quote
Leto Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 'We are all xenonauts' You can go all directions with this Like : forget the cold war, we have real enemy now ! Quote
Straker Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 1. Service With a Smile 2. No Quarter 3. Last Hope of Mankind 4. Come and Get It 5. Cry Havoc 6. Earth's Finest Hour 7. Don't Let The Moon Hit You on the Way Out Quote
Sathra Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Those sound more like things you'd paint on missiles... Quote
cjc3271 Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 How about the speech the President made in the movie "Independence Day", or something from or paraphrased from that speech? Such as: "We will not go quietly into the night. We will not lay down without a fight." ... or something along those lines. I very much do like the Latin motto suggestions, though! Those are nice!

sadbloke Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Why not the obvious "Oderint dum metuant"(Let them hate so long as they fear) , directed at the Extraterrestrials obviously Quote
moonchild Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 What about "Xenonauts: We fight the unknown" ? Quote
Nfire3 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Purge the Xenon! or Xenonauts: Bag'em and Frag'em Quote
Sathra Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Xenonauts: Bag'em and Frag'em Shouldn't that be the other way around? Seems kind of counter-productive. Quote
Nfire3 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Shouldn't that be the other way around? Seems kind of counter-productive. It was meant more of as the whole mission where you bag a few of them and then frag the rest. Quote
radister Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Hmm what about Xenonauts: Rays Of Sol Like Rays of hope, but mixing with the defense of earth theme. but might be abit too cryptic Quote
GrumpySage Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 The aliens will be much easier to hit once they are tangled up in a bag. Quote
Joeneren Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 "Kill 'em all and let the scientist sort 'em out!" Quote
anotherdevil Posted December 7, 2011 Author Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Why not the obvious "Oderint dum metuant"(Let them hate so long as they fear) , directed at the Extraterrestrials obviously but who says they hate us? We don't know what their motivation is... they could just be really evil! Xenonauts: Bag'em and Frag'em Much easier to frag them once they're in the bag Sathra! Edited December 7, 2011 by anotherdevil Silly little things like rayguns Quote
Straker Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 As for their motivations, I remember reading back in the old X-Com days (whether it was an interview, an article, or fan fiction) that the aliens were basically Space Locusts. They would travel from planet to planet, pillage and plunder all useful resources, then move on. As for us, we are useful for our genetic material to strengthen themselves, slaves to build more ships, and as food. They're not evil as we understand, just amoral. The only thing about us they fear is that they recognize that we have the potential to be better than themselves psionically. As for mottos, how about: E Pluribus Unum ("Out of many one") - A common phrase I know but it could represent the unlikely banding together of the various Earth forces during the Cold War. Currently used by the Estonian Scouts Battalion. Viribus Unitis ("Joining forces") - For the same reason as above. Currently used by the German Heerestruppenbrigade. Quote
Sathra Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 @AD: My original response was actually much more...amoral. Disturbingly so, so I didn't post it. Never know who's reading. @Straker: Sounds like a fanfic. I vaguely remember an article/interview with the creators and they didn't really plan out the background either. Did for the later games though. Quote
