Since others are picking nits, I will to. MMORPG is actually a derivitive of RPG. RPG is derived from RP. Ever since children have been pretending to be Knights, soldiers, whatever there has been RP. Adult RPG's have been around in a formal fashion since the middle ages, and MMO's are the latest in theRPG trend

If I recall correctly, this stands for "Portalized Object". It is a developer term that was used commonly in beta, and stuck. More and more people are now dropping this term and simply using MP ship to signify these ships.

Ya the portalized object is the term it comes from, its also in the holocron that way. The thing I had with calling them MP ships is that also refers to the Y-wing, Agressor and the Krayt.
