Eh, you'd probably want to use the Hiragana まる instead of the Kanji 丸 cause your way would more likely be thought as "Round Kitten" Or "Kitten Pills"
*(ADCK's Kitten pills, now with 70% real kitten! Sold separately O_o )

I'd probably go the hiragana こねこ for kitten as well just for balance.

Oh and Maru would go before Kitten in this case.

So まるこねこ (Ma Ru Ko Ne Ko) is what I'd go with.

On a side note, Google is a pretty good translator, but I prefer http://www.eudict.com as it gives the meaning of the word and can do Romaji.
But it takes some getting used to, not very user friendly.
Or google hiragana/katakana for charts.

I'll edit the texture tomorrow. Thanks for the advice, everyone. I speak little Japanese, and all the strange symbols confuse me.

Hi RyanHoots. I have a request. Would it be possible for you to change the words "the downgrade" to "it" in your thread title?

How would you feel if you had an oxp and someone else posted a thread title saying(indirectly) that it was not worth using? You would not like it or you would be lieing.

Smivs has wonderful ships and doesn't need the bad PR in a title that people will browse and get a bad impression before even looking at his stuff. And it may even subliminally prevent people from even looking at his Boa II Clipper Class.

From the looks of it you like his ship. From the point of good ettiquette I believe a neutral title is the right thing to do. I had to say something because monkey see monkey do and negative titles of other peoples' oxps would have a bad effect on the moral of this board in the long term IMHO.

How would I change the title? I can see what you mean. Sorry about that, Smivs.

No worries, although I had thought of mentioning this myself

Just click on 'Edit' on your first post in this thread, and you can change the title. Maybe something like "Boa Clipper - is it really as great as everybody says?"

I do know by now that it is as good as it seems. It survived a full-scale Thargoid invasion navy reserve mission! If I was in a Cobra Mk. 3, I would have been killed.

I was joking about the title, but am glad you like the ship.
