I have such genius names as "Primary me!" (Kestrel), "Plywood" (Drake) and "A bird am I" (Condor).. The rest of my ship names are even worse but I still think they beat the standard names

Edited by: Cpt Branko on 26/01/2008 19:51:41 Here's my ship names:
Rifter: "Mostly Harmless" - in hopes people will fall for it. Thrasher: "Tiger" - short range AC ganker. Rupture: "Galley" - it reminds me of a old pirate ship, is a great pirate ship Cyclone: "Tiger II" - it reminds me of a big Thrasher, what can I say? Hurricane: "TridesetCetvorka" - gets is name from a old Russian tank. Flimsy armour, good mobility and gank

I usually name my ships to a type or theme, my Drakes are "the Rage" (currently on the Rage V, VI, and VII) My Ravens the Fury (Fury, Fury II), my Cerberus The Anger, not sure what I'll name my Nighthawk in a few weeks half the fun is naming I think, when fitting a ship. Another one bites the dust. |

I rename my ship a lot, sometimes even multiple times a day.
Why?
I try to adapt to Local, when I see a guy in there, a few months old, for example named "newguy", I rename my Drake to "newguy's Drake".
You'd be surprised how many pirates come to 'visit' you when you're in a belt :-)

I use mostly names taken from the Homeworld RTS game. Be it a class of ship (Taiidan are the best, they're exotic), a location, or something that just fits.
Malediction - Raachok Vengeance - Kuudark Comet - Diirvas Slicer - Tenhauser Gate Ishkur - Diamond Shoals Maller - Tiifal Phantasm - Sea of Lost Souls Sacrilege - Koshiir-Ra Zealot - Skaal-Tel Absolution - Guardian of Kadesh Damnation - Karos Graveyard Raven - Skaal-Fa Abaddon - Sajuuk-Cor Megathron - Qwaar-Jet Soon-To-Be Paladin - Ghosts of Kharak
If/when I ever get a carrier it would be the Saarkin-Cho
Although occasionally I use some names from Battletech (Crusader - Kerenky's Blues, Navapoc - Strana Mechty) or some random ones (Ferox - Backwards Cormorant, Cormorant - Backwards Ferox, Pilgrim - Skinwalker). ----------------

Typically I give them something that includes my corp's ticker, for example "SBSW miner", "SBSW dogfighter", "SBSW destroyer". Remember that if you are destroyed in glorious combat, the wreck will have the name that you gave the ship. And you want people to know it was you, right?

I don't really care if they recognize my ship AFTER I've been blown up... I just don't want them to know who I am or where I am (from scanner) BEFORE any possible explosion

Edited by: Wynsdae on 28/01/2008 17:04:31 Mining Barge named "John Henry", and a hauler named "Nostromo", and a Jaguar named the "SS More Powerful Than Superman, Batman, Spiderman And The Incredible Hulk Put Together."
Had to abbreviate the last one to "SS MPTSBSATIHPT." Family Guy ftw.
Others I have left default or it wan't a particularly memorable name.

I always rename my ships. Sometimes I like to name them something they are not like "Zerkar's Badger MK II" when they are really a BS (LOL) but only when I am messing with Low Sec. Most of the time I prefer other languages for my ship names.
My Ferox was named "Vehementer" My Hurricane is named "Ventalis" My Maelstrom is named "Abwehrkraft"
Whatever sounds good and has a good meaning to it that fits the ship in question tends to be my naming style. One of my mates lost her Drake so her 2nd Drake got named the "Revinant" and her Raven is named "Nevermore". +++++++++++++++ I saw the Sign...!

I used to name my ships whatever I wanted to - was pretty fun.
I had names like:
My Lil' Mojito Retribution's Blade Confluent Fury Whiskey Tango Fox McNubin Chronic Slowass Quebec Trebek Teknicolor Dreamcoat etc,etc,etc.
But when it came time to jump into a ship with a different fit or whatnot, i'd end up forgetting what mods were on it. (I have about 35-40 ships, so keeping track gets difficult)
So I started to apply some sort of logic to my ship names.
Fleet 1 [CRD-MPSw] would be a name for one. the letters in the brackets all stand for something.
CR = close range D = DPS M = MWD P = Point (warp scram/disrupt) Sw = Stasis webber
Right off the bat, i'd know around abouts what setup i'd be jumping into.
Also, Fleet 2 [MRT-MPTp] would signify MR = medium range T = tank Tp = target painter
You get the idea. Helps when you're in a rush

Edited by: Micheal Dietrich on 28/01/2008 18:56:00 My names are usually linked to movies in some form (generally whatever I'm watching at the time)
Raven: Nevermore (that's a given) Drake: Widow Ferox: S.S. Reliant Salvager Cormorant: Lucky#Sleven Kestrel: Kelebra Condor: Bird of prey (complete with cloak) 3 badger 2's: Serinity
And I used to have an amarr destroyer flying around in minmater space named Slaver 1 but it was blown to pieces during a war.
And even though I only buy a shuttle to get from point a to point b each one is always named Easy Target Unsuitable signature removed. Navgator
Do you realize how long it took me to size that right to use!?!?!?! |

Battleships get named after impact sites: Vredefort, Tunguska, Sudbury Battlecruisers named after battles: Vimy Ridge, Leliefontein, El Alamein Everything else gets named at random, though I did name my Hawk "Spenser" ------- Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience. |
