Notice that it only says that there are four names. However I've noticed two others that are after the preq. The first extra name for each chassis I've seen for most (how do you say "chassis" plural? chassises?), but the second extra name i've never seen before. Anyone know how it is used, and what determines whether or not one of the extra names is used? Here is an example of the chassis section for the gravship chassis. "Deeathsphere" and "Doomwall" are the extra names.
Gravship,M1, Skybase,M1, Antigrav,M1, Skyfort,M1, 8, 2, 0, 0, 1, 8, Gravity, Deathsphere,M1, Doomwall,M1,
