Edited by: Triple Entendre on 12/02/2010 22:04:17 Most of my ships end up named whatever I feel like at the time. The more guns on them, the more likely to be something such as "The Negotiator", "The Ambassador", "The Diplomat" and "Public Relations".
Saying that, I also have a tendency to name ships things like "Hell's Catflap" and, whenever I feel like darting about like an idiot in an Incursus, it has to be named "Jousting Snowmobile".

I name all my frigates 'Epeen's Raven', all my cruisers 'Mr Epeen' and all my BSs 'Velator'.
I have an average of 250 shipd and that goes up or down by about 25 a day so taking the time to name them is not on my agenda.

I like naming my ships, probably my favourite part of fitting one.
Some of my recent and recurring ones:
Dominix - Lumpernicus Mk. # Myrmidon - Slippy Occator - Dos Puro Viator - Stubby Stogie Ares - Ka Brutix - The Feral Monkey Helios - Sledgehammer/Battered B-wing Shuttles - Shuttling, Shuttled, Shuttler, Shuttlee Cyclone - Rocket-powered Chainsaw
I find, when in doubt, a bit of ad-libs can get you a good ship name.
1. The
2. "funny-sounding or ludicrous adjective"
3. An obviously non-space/sea-faring mammal
The Horny Weevil
The Massive Titmouse
The Dainty Llama
etc. etc.

Edited by: Sumelar on 13/02/2010 00:35:51 On my main, I name them after Futurama characters.
Hyperion - Super King Megathron - 80's guy Dominix - Clobberella Vexor - Captain Yesterday Ishkur - Brannigan's Love (hard and fast)
On my alt, I usually name them after weapons. Hurricane - Ribauldequin Claymore Claidheamh da laimh
I also keep the names when a ship is destroyed and add numbers to the new ones. For example, I'm on my third domi right now, so she is Clobberella III.

I tried using the Greek alphabet for a while, but got lost between destroying and selling and buying ships.
Now I just take the role I use the ship for and change the spelling a bit: Salvaging Destroyer: "Savlege" Mission Myrmidon: "Myssioner" "It also means "Honest thought" in Estonian (Aus M)te)" |

My Minmatar ships tend to be named after various types of shark. There are some variations in this naming convention, depending on inspiration. eg. the interceptor I use as a shuttle is named "LOGANSR1". Salvage Thrasher is called "Jammy Dodger" Savage 'Cane is called "Jammy Dodger II"
My Raven is "Quoth The" One of my Drakes is "Papa he‘e nalu"
