Aramendel Amarr Queens of the Stone Age Chimaera Pact	Posted - 2006.09.23 21:15:00 - [61] Edited by: Aramendel on 23/09/2006 21:15:46 I am trying keep a naming scheme similar to Iain Banks culture ships. Sometimes rather straightforward, sometimes quite absurd, often a bit ironic. First started to keep a list of good ship names when playing the browsergame ferion for quick copy-paste, which I am using now more or less at random for EVE ships. Sadly, quite a few names have too many letters. Nice planet, we take it Armed and dangerous Best wishes to Elvis Gravimetric Anomaly Pride of the Empire Here we are Mass dying event Nice to meet you No smoking allowed Pacifists suck! Questions asked later Quick and painless Resistance is futile Take no prisoners To be or not to be To conquer and protect Trick or treats Trial and error Catastrophic malfunction We have a problem Whats this switch doing? Urgent matters Speed is of the essence Accessories included Not your lucky day Piece of junk Take us to your leader Other state of mind Hostile takeover Killer of furry animals This could hurt a little Just looking Swift and graceful That was close System error Let god sort em out Invincible XXVI

Winter QC Amarr Altera Odyssea Tau Ceti Federation	Posted - 2006.09.23 23:14:00 - [64] Edited by: Winter QC on 23/09/2006 23:16:12 I name my ships after Opeth songs. ie, my Catalyst is named "A Fair Judgement" while my Thorax is named "Ghost of Perdition". My ishkur is "Hope Leaves".
Riven Starkill Caldari Regalis Industria Scientia Entreprendre	Posted - 2006.09.23 23:31:00 - [65] Edited by: Riven Starkill on 23/09/2006 23:31:37 I use Roman and Greek mythological names + another word that seems to fit the role of the ship. I try to have the choice of god fit the role of the ship - so for my battlecruisers, I use Mars or Ares. My smaller ships use different gods. Raven- Ares Triumphant. Ferox - Ares Ascending. Caracal - Hecate's Spite. Moa (fitted as a tank) - Perseus' Shield Osprey - Prometheus' Folly Rifter (fitted for courier duty and insta plotting) - Mercury Rising. Badger II - Bagspace (ok - so this one is just plain functional...) Maybe some other names: Vulcan's Fire Hera's Vengance Athena's Wisdom Athena's Spear The bow of Artemis Apollo's Chariot Charon's Lowrider Bellerophon's Pegasus The flight of Daedalus Odysseus' Gambit
Evelgrivion	Posted - 2006.09.23 23:57:00 - [66] Originally by: Dahak2150 Take most of my names from Homeworld/Battletech. Armageddon = Sajuuk Cor Thorax = Skaal Tel (soon to be) Megathron = Qwaar Jet Vengeance = Kuudark And for BT... Prophecy = Invisible Truth Bestower = Prime Mover etc. I see a Homeworld fan :D I name my ships by what sounds cool to me, IE Caracal = Oberon VII (I started without roman numerals...) Ferox = Xanatos Scorpion = Avalon Raven = Avalon High See if you can pick up a trend
Pitt Gallente Loot	Posted - 2006.09.24 00:34:00 - [67] Usually name mine after Cowboy Bebop episodes or themes. pilgrim= jamming with edward viator= gateway shuffle mega= Cowboy/Bebop curse= my funny valentine tyranis= symphathy 4the devl (not enought char allowed for the whole title) etc... tho for my typhoon's and Dom's I name them after an Alice in Chains album title. Phoon/Dom= Jar of Flies 1, 2, 3 etc... *How many must die in the name of God before the Devil is satisfied*
Grau Warder Caldari FTS	Posted - 2006.09.24 01:08:00 - [68] Edited by: Grau Warder on 24/09/2006 01:08:07 I tend to name mine after U.S.N. vessels and aircraft. Mostly aircraft thus far. The Caracal became Strike Eagle,the Merlin is Hornet, Kestrel is a Tomcat, and so on. Battleships on up will be named after proper vessels. Ranger, Enterprise, Nimitz (if I ever fly a carrier), so on. ________________________________________ It's nothing personal. Just business.
mazzilliu Caldari Sniggerdly	Posted - 2006.09.24 01:12:00 - [69] demogod's Tempest... will still draw sigs 4 isk click here
Ma Raia'l Amarr Viziam	Posted - 2006.09.24 01:26:00 - [70] I pick a trait that can describe the ship and then I translate that into Latin. For example; my Bestower is called Saxosus which means "full of rocks", my Prophecy is called "Parramoles" which means "bird of ill omen". Since I fly exclusively Amarr ships I would think giving them proper Latin names would only be fitting. (why Gallante ships are named in latin I will never know)

Leilani Solaris Gallente 0utbreak	Posted - 2006.09.24 01:28:00 - [71] I've got too many ships to remember the names of them all, but usually whatever i'm listening to or thinking at the time..or something really lame and unoriginal
Idara Caldari Cutting Edge Incorporated RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2006.09.24 01:53:00 - [72] I used to name them after birds. Now I'm lazy, so when I get it, it's "Idara's Ishkur" -> "Ishkur" So it's just the ship's name.
evistin Multiverse Corporation	Posted - 2006.09.24 03:25:00 - [73] Badger MK II = Asteroid (jaspet) Domnix = Cargo Container Megathron = evistin's Shuttle Retervier = Asteroid (Veldspar) Brutix = Medium Container Shuttles = Cyno Field ----------- Management and Leadership û The Eve-online Guide
Attak Trioptimum Storm Armada	Posted - 2006.09.24 06:53:00 - [74] I name them after Planetside bases which were in turn named after the gods of ancient civilizations e.g. Faro, Pele, Seth, Marduk, ect. Or I name my ship what it looks like, e.g. Toblerone, Long Brown and Lumpy...
Dahin Euphoria Released Euphoria Unleashed	Posted - 2006.09.24 07:03:00 - [75] Edited by: Dahin on 24/09/2006 07:03:48 "I hate <how I died last time>" latest one is "I hate friendly pos'"

Crumplecorn Gallente Aerial Boundaries Inc. Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.09.24 10:42:00 - [81] Edited by: Crumplecorn on 24/09/2006 10:42:03 Most my ships reference TV programs. Some current ones include: Rukia - Enyo Shinigami (III) - Brutix Ichigo - Brutix Escaflowne - Thorax Puddlejumper - Incursus Actually, my bio lists all my active ships, as well as what happened to the ex-ships. ---------- Nerf Caldaro!
Adonis 4174	Posted - 2006.09.24 11:05:00 - [82] I have so tried to stick to naming patterns, even if only for 1 ship. My rookie ship was the Dora, names after the main character from Day Million (if you've read the story you'll remember the name of the love interest...) My early frigates were named after Red vs Blue characters. My Kestrel was "My Dreams Hereafter" - a reference to Tanith Lee's "Vivia" My Caracal had a name but wasn't around long enough to remember. My Ferox was the Destructive Appetite (3 guesses where that came from, first two don't count) renamed "Adapt Or Die" post missile-nerf, renamed Worth Overdoing when I started passive tanking, then its replacement was the Focus (as in "Pay attention! Don't lose ships!") My Nighthawk is the Shub Niggurath because it's black and carries thousands of missiles. Oh yes, my Badger was called Shorty because it was a shortcut to wealth. For my Badger 2 I was reminded of the film City Heat in which Clint Eastwood keeps calling someone Shorty, so my Badger 2 is called Clint. ----- Russell T Davies is my master now.
Xeno Xandovar Encina Technologies Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2006.09.24 11:29:00 - [83] My ships are named after different death meal bands.

Mr Xofar Minmatar	Posted - 2006.09.24 12:23:00 - [84] I name my combat ships after real or imagined creatures that they remind me of. Thrasher - "Dragon Head" Rifter - "Hydra" Bellicose - "Mantid" (Was "Jackal, until I undocked and discovered that it flies the other way ) My mining ships I name after the ore they mine (mostly) Burst - "Pyro Miner" Thrasher - "Viscous Miner" (or Viscious Miner) Retriever - "Pyro Maniac" [---------------------------------------------] Incompetent
Treylin The Four Aces Maelstrom Alliance	Posted - 2006.09.24 12:33:00 - [85] Most of the time I name my ships after really anything that has to do with Texas.

Taram Caldar Caldari Acheron Vanguard Armada The Shadow Ascension	Posted - 2006.09.24 18:44:00 - [90] I just make up a name, usually. I used to be a GM for tabletop games so I am pretty good at just making names up out of thin air.
