[RFC] Eagle Class
 
#2
The Whistler Services Eagle class has to be one of at least four a bunch of classes competing for the name. "Eagle" is a name with huge historical and cultural weight to it; consider the phrase "The Eagle has landed". Most of the others would be exploration-oriented landing craft, though, so there won't be as much confusion involving the WS Eagle class as with the others.
I'm not sure what the problem is with container craft, though. Well-made ISO containers are pretty indestructible even before being 'waved; it's hard to imagine anything using a similar amount of materials being more rugged. (I kid, but only a bit. I can understand the attraction of not flying around in a big ruddy-brown steel box; even if I think aesthetics and ergonomics are the only reasons, they're pretty good ones!)
