Linque Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Xenosquirrels, activate! radister, I know it can also mean a place to keep items, of course. But store has two meanings that could both be used in the context of the game. That's why I think it's a worse choice of a word than others that are less ambiguous.

Chris Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yes, the Weapon Larder is the only alternative I can see to Stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Wouldn't "storage", "warehouse", "armory", "munitions" or "inventory" be better? But store has two meanings that could both be used in the context of the game. That's why I think it's a worse choice of a word than others that are less ambiguous. Inventory wouldn't work as that is usually used to refer to the personal carrying capacity of the individual troops. Munitions or armoury are also misleading as you store other things in there as well, such as building materials. Storage to me is a place you put your unwanted items that you don't want to throw away. Like putting furniture in storage until you move into a larger house and need it. Warehouse may work although it does have connotations to me of a place to store goods for sale. Pretty much any word you pick will have other possible connotations to some people. My personal preference would be Quartermaster but that may not work for others. Or maybe Temple of the Flammenwerfer'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radister Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Larder, that were i keep the nuts for the Xenosquirrels. I think Store fits better then most words however i can see some people not liking it. Personally I go with the word Locker or Lockup and have Weapon Locker and so. tho General Locker doesn't work too well. Nor should it be good to say Personally Lockup, it be like the place we imprison our staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betuor Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Isn't it 'stores'? I thought that was what it was called. The extra s makes it seem more like the base's storage area. Well, it does at least to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Stores, Stores Locker, Supplies, Supply Room are all the proper terms. I was thinking Armory or Arms Room or Arms Locker, but that isn't really accurate as other things are stored there besides weapons. I think the current label is fine.

thothkins Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Flat Pack Wardrobe - Xenonauts sponsored by IKEA Shed - Xenonauts combine world saving with Landscape Gardening Pantry - Freshly baked biscuits (no pancakes) for every Xenonaut leaving the Chinook! Stores works for me. Not as good as "The Place Where We Keep Stuff" but easier to roll off the tongue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauddlike Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Maybe we should call it Stocked Terran Objects Repository and Extra-terrestrial Sundries. Probably best to just use the acronym though for ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
