Possible new names for Lightspeed modes?

[Not-A-Normal-Robot]

Currently, we have some (unimplemented) modes called Lightspeed, and its variants, including Lightspeed LO and Lightspeed HI.

However, there are some other cool synonyms for "extremely fast" present in the English language that I suggest you check out:

• supersonic: faster than the speed of sound (343+ m/s)
• hypersonic: over 5 times the speed of sound (1715+ m/s)
• relativistic: at a speed where Einstein's Theory of Relativity becomes significant, i.e. a fraction of the speed of light. (maybe around 0.1 c, with c being the speed of light) Note: This word is pretty uncommon and people may not understand it.
• lightspeed: at the speed of light (1 c) (currently used)
• superluminal: faster than the speed of light (>1 c)

also I can't decide what label to put on this, it isn't really that big of an "enhancement", more like some cool words that might be a replacement for the current names? idk

ok here's some suggestions:

• Lightspeed LO --> Supersonic
• Lightspeed HI --> Hypersonic
• Lightspeed HD --> Supersonic HIDDEN
• Lightspeed EX --> Supersonic INVISIBLE
• Lightspeed TI --> Velocital Trepidation

also if you're mad that "velocital" isn't a real word, afaik it was first used in Distance Incremental and it's an adjective that means "related to velocity". the players of DI doesn't get confused on what it means so it's basically an "unofficial" word at this point

👍🏼 I guess the format of Velocital Trepidation is inspired from AD? I love those names, sounds really cool

[MrZ626]

Decided to just change lightspeed with hypersonic Now need a new title for Hypersonic-HD, it may look like: [visual]+[destroy/lost], or [memory]+[overclock], I have no idea about these cool names

[Not-A-Normal-Robot]

Velocital Trepidation's actually inspired by Distance Incremental, not AD. Took me quite a bit of time to think of that name, happened while I was very bored and thinking of something to do.

I'll try to think of a name for that. No guarantees, but I'll try to think of some.

😄Thx!

yeah I tried to cheat using ChatGPT, only good name I got was "Visceral Devastation"; subsequent queries only seemed to get worse for some reason.

Edit: I asked the AI to change the second word, the only interesting ones I got are:

• "Visceral Annihilation"
• "Visceral Cataclysm"
• "Visceral Catastrophe"

EDIT 2: I just checked, apparently "visceral" has basically nothing to do with sight, perhaps the AI meant "visual"? Edit 3: yeah it did mean "visual".

velocital is not a real word in the English language.

Unless you are fine with coining new words for the game, then never mind

[Not-A-Normal-Robot]

ik but it should be easy to interpret its meaning tbh
