Strategy Game Collaboration

Experimental RTS/Space sim Collaborative Coding Project.
The goal is to design a game with structure/settings/balance of Starcraft and scale of Eve Online(i.e. huge space battles, space empires,etc).
Though this wouldn't stop anyone from contributing code/feedback/criticism, i'll be coordinating the project.
All code/ideas should be posted in this and subsequent threads which i'll start as needed.
step #1: We will collaboratively create a name for our project.
Each suggestion must explain why this name fits the project and why its better then any other generic name.

>>94 Here is summary:
>>60 No arguments.
>>62 No arguments.
>>66 No arguments.
>>68 C++ "wide usage" OpenGL "because its 3D" "wide range of hardware" "platform-independent"
"wide usage" is "its good because its popular" -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum
"because its 3D" A graphics library is required to be 3d (game is 3d). Its not a feature or argument. 
"wide range of hardware" As well as any OpenGL wrapper library. Who would use libraries without hardware support?
 "platform-independent" Many languages are, though this isn't not critical as 90% of intended audience uses Windows.
>>69 No arguments.
>>73 "a lot of software developers " -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum
"C++ has been amazingly well documented" I'd won't touch undocumented languages. Its not really a "feature".
"incredible libraries" subjective. C++ require specific compilers and settings to use well, and arcane build process.
"support" this isn't tech support issue. Documentation is what we need.
>>76 "natural choice" subjective.
"fast" partially. If compiled via C to asm.
"very easy to learn" valid argument: used in education of non-programmers.-> Short learning curve
"all the features of LITHP" debatable, though partilyl correct since Scheme is Lisp dialect.
"none of security risks of sepples" valid argument: C++ code is prone to memory leaks, buffer overruns and other exploits.
>>78 "OpenGL support" same as >>68. No valid arguments in favor of OpenGL.
>>80 "time-proven API'" -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_tradition
>>89 "enjoy being the only one able to read the code. "  If Scheme has short learning curve /prog/ would be capable of reading the code and thus negating this. otherwise post implies  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_tradition

On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit.' As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
