So what would you like Dan to call this new edition?
My current thoughts are:
What are your thoughts?
Starmada: This Time It's War!
Starmada: the Ultimately Perfect Edition Renowned for Making Atonishing Navies!
A bit long and tortuous, but I like the acronym...

So what would you like Dan to call this new edition?
My current thoughts are:
[list]
[*]Starmada: The Mayan Edition (Dan suggested this one)
?
Well, if we are considering the Mayan calender, perhaps Starmada: The Final Edition! 
Since we have had the Admiralty Edition and there is a Fleet Operations version, and this version seems to combine some aspects of the two with some new ideas, maybe something like Starmada: Fleet Admiral, Starmada: Fleet Strike, or maybe since it is a new direction for the game, Starmada: Vanguard.
In the end, the title matters not to me, but hey, Dan must market to the masses!

This new edition will make it quicker to resolve each ship's weapons fire. As a result, it will be easier to play more ships. It will make playing Fleets much easire. So either of the name that include the word Fleet would be good. Perhaps Starmada, Fleet Combat Edition.
Might be a bit of a names clash with the SFO system, though...?
This is true. How about Starmada; Task Force Edition.
Great minds think alike...:)
Starmada: Warlord's Edition
When even the Admiralty is not sufficient
Or
Starmada: Universal Edition
Which leaves little room to continue in the future, but by then someone will have thought of another name (Starmada: Omniscient Edition :mrgreen: )
I don't like Starmada: Task Force Edition . Reminds me of the failed publishing company called Task Force Games.
I don't like Starmada: Warlord . Reminds me of another SFU game called Star Fleet Warlord.
I don't like Starmada: Final Edition . Because you never want to make the customer think that this is the last version of a product. (i.e. it ends with this edition).
Of course, that is just me. How about:
Starmada: Empire Builder Edition
Starmada: Fleet Builder Edition
Starmada: The Empire Edition
I don't like Starmada: Final Edition . Because you never want to make the customer think that this is the last version of a product. (i.e. it ends with this edition).
Well, according to the Mayan calender and a seemingly endless supply of additional Prophets of Doom, it would be an accurate moniker unless Dan revises the system again before the end of the year!
Erik
No one commented my proposal for an exception name... 
Seriously, why not 'Starmada: The BattleGroup Edition'...?

Don't forget the huge amount of horror franchises who produce one "final" installment, but then continue to make further sequels anyways.
Sure, Starmada doesn't have much to do with horror movies, but I can say the same thing about the Maya :mrgreen:
Starmada: Apocalypse!
Starmada Twelve
Epic Starmada
Advanced Starmada
Oh I just got one!
Starmada: Escalation
Leaves plenty of room for further editions, assuming the world doesn't end this year
I like "Starmada: Battle Group Edition"

No, the world cannot come to an end. I have too many minis to paint.
Marc
How about Starmada Sky Marsal Edition

Anybody worried about not finishing painting their minis in time can donate them to me ... and no you cannot have them back next January! 
I would point out that the Mayan calendar is cyclic not linear and last time the 'world ended' only the Mayans noticed. The rest comes from Fundamentalist Christians misreading the book of Revelations. The book is about the wows of 2nd century Rome not the 21st. :roll:
So anyone wanting to get rid of any spare Pounds, Dollars or Euros ... no not Euros before the end, can add them to the minis parcel under the same conditions. 
Now back to the thread
I do like the idea of 'Sky Marshal Edition'. A bit David Webber but what else do you expect from a StarFire fan? I also like Starmada 12 as an idea, we can then just continue adding the year to each of Dan's new versions. Though what we do in 2099 I don't know . (The Century Pill Bug!!)
Starmada: The New Beginning.
Starmada: Ascension
Starmada: The Somewhat Premature 20th Anniversary Edition
If that's too long, drop the "Somewhat Premature" bit.
I still think the best name is
Starmada: MMXII
or perhaps
Starmada: MM12
This is Starmada 2012 -- and it feels right against the idea of the company being MJ12 (or MJXII for that matter)...
Agreed. I like "Starmade: MM12"
If it was a choice between MM12 and MMXII I would go for MMXII as its 'right' on all counts both the year and the MJXII 'pun'. We could then look forward to MMXIII and ... and ... MMCI 
.
Of course we can then have sub titles "Squadron Ops", "Fleet Ops", "Special Ops", "Carrier Ops", "Imperial Source book", "Klingon ARMADA" etc.
So the new version could be STARMADA MMXII: Squadron Ops or just plain STARMADA MMXII with a new source book being STARMADA MMXII: Imperial Sourcebook
The advantage of this is you could then know which publication matches which version of the rules.
