Vall Kor Minmatar	Posted - 2009.01.02 02:40:00 - [1] And if so, how do you choose the name? I name mine after British WWII ships.
TimMc Gallente Brutal Deliverance OWN Alliance	Posted - 2009.01.02 02:41:00 - [2] Yes, simply to make scanning me down harder. Usually entertaining things like references to films or tv shows, or just copy the name of an asteroid field.
Artemis Rose Sileo In Pacis	Posted - 2009.01.02 02:41:00 - [3] Edited by: Artemis Rose on 02/01/2009 02:41:20 With whatever word(s) comes to mind first. *** Currently Playing: Trolls from Outer Space Current Equipment: VISAcard chain mail, +2 Amulet of Epic Whine, Self Banstick +2 WTB: +666 E-peen killboard stats
Minny Sky	Posted - 2009.01.02 02:43:00 - [4] Anything other than your characters name
Kessiaan Minmatar Army of One	Posted - 2009.01.02 02:45:00 - [5] I used to, but I go through pvp ships like water, so now I just name them <hull class> fit #<fit number in EFT>, so I know what ships have what fitting since I got tons of them now.
MeestaPenni Gallente	Posted - 2009.01.02 02:45:00 - [6] I give 'em the dumbest names I can imagine. Turns out to be pretty dadgum dumb. Saw a battleship the other day named; "Don't Repackage". Apparently someone learned a valuable lesson.
Vall Kor Minmatar	Posted - 2009.01.02 02:46:00 - [7] Originally by: MeestaPenni Saw a battleship the other day named; "Don't Repackage". Apparently someone learned a valuable lesson. Ouch..
Clementina Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2009.01.02 03:18:00 - [8] I have a note in Eve for naming conventions for ships. So when I buy and outfit one, I can usually open that note and grab a name from off it, if I am not inspired already.
Reven Darklight 256 FREELANCERS FREELANCER ALLIANCE	Posted - 2009.01.02 03:45:00 - [9] I usually name them after a ships from either real life or from TV/Movies that are more or less of the same class, frigs, cruisers etc. Ie I have a HMS Hood around somewhere as well as an andromeda ascendant
Johann Callasan	Posted - 2009.01.02 03:46:00 - [10] Originally by: Vall Kor And if so, how do you choose the name? I name mine after British WWII ships. Ya, usually with some dumb pun based onthe ship's class name. As a example, my Drake is the Gallopin' Goose :)

Arkeladin	Posted - 2009.01.02 03:47:00 - [11] Originally by: Reven Darklight I usually name them after a ships from either real life or from TV/Movies that are more or less of the same class, frigs, cruisers etc. Ie I have a HMS Hood around somewhere as well as an andromeda ascendant Naming a ship the Hood is just asking for it... after all, remember the Hood :)
Khraunus Amarr Suddenly Ninjas Tear Extraction And Reclamation Service	Posted - 2009.01.02 03:47:00 - [12] Pirates gathering intel on potential targets ITT. Most importantly, how are you supposed to tell whether this is part of my post or my signature?
m3talc0re X Caldari Heavens Gate Consortium	Posted - 2009.01.02 03:59:00 - [13] Edited by: m3talc0re X on 02/01/2009 03:58:52 I tend to have a set naming convention to all my ships. Caldari battleships get like shark names, except for my Rokh, which is the U.S.S. Ruination btw :P My Raven is the U.S.S. Hammerhead, CNR is U.S.S. Tigershark. My Harpy is Spider Bite, I can't remember the others off the top of my head :/ Oh, my Domi is Spud Launcher :P -------------------------- Wait, what now? Yes, I was Anubis Assassin, this will be my new main XD
Cyprus Black Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2009.01.02 04:00:00 - [14] Yes, but the name depends on what the ship is used for and what it may look like. For example: if I'm flying a Thorax used for ganking and piracy situations, it's pretty clear what to name it based on what it looks like and it's purpose. ______________ Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Sidus Isaacs Gallente	Posted - 2009.01.02 04:09:00 - [15] Edited by: Sidus Isaacs on 02/01/2009 04:09:18 Originally by: Vall Kor And if so, how do you choose the name? I name mine after British WWII ships. In PvP, always rename your ship. The Culture ship names is my favorite.
Taak Coram Gallente Outdated Host Productions	Posted - 2009.01.02 04:31:00 - [16] Originally by: Sidus Isaacs Edited by: Sidus Isaacs on 02/01/2009 04:09:18 Originally by: Vall Kor And if so, how do you choose the name? I name mine after British WWII ships. In PvP, always rename your ship. The Culture ship names is my favorite. Banks is brilliant with his names. All my ships' names are sentence fragments from any random song I happen to have in my head at the time.
Khraunus Amarr Suddenly Ninjas Tear Extraction And Reclamation Service	Posted - 2009.01.02 04:33:00 - [17] Edited by: Khraunus on 02/01/2009 04:33:06 I usually name my ships after a certain attribute they have. My Crusader is 15km pulse, my vengeance is Expensive Tackler, my Pilgrim is Surprise *******, etc. Edit: Good lord, I can't believe they *** that out... Most importantly, how are you supposed to tell whether this is part of my post or my signature?
Xailia Unsteady Corporation	Posted - 2009.01.02 04:40:00 - [18] I name mine after celestial bodies. Take that how you want. "The sky above the port was the color of a television, tuned to a dead channel."
Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2009.01.02 04:52:00 - [19] Give all my ships two part names, usually the current serial number of the ship and some two part name, Like GND 04 Morning Glory is my 4th domonix Ive owned. Pre Order your Sisters of Eve ship today
Tanith Darkstar	Posted - 2009.01.02 05:07:00 - [20] depends on the ship and it's purpose: Salvager: trash collector, loot sweeper, etc Mining ships: Ore nibbler, Rockcrusher, Ice bucket, etc Combat ships: Hey Moe! (stealth bomber.... I miss that ship), Iron Rain, Disco Duck, Sparkles Transports: Dead Cow (my freighter before I sold it...), OMG Tanked Transport ... was Generic Hauler Alt But yeah, I hate the Bob's Reaper stuff... so i change it

Mecinia Lua Galactic Express Burning Horizons	Posted - 2009.01.02 06:16:00 - [21] I name mine. Generally from Norse mythology, Star Wars Ships, and/or Emotions. Thoughts expressed are mine and mine alone. They do not necessarily reflect my alliances thoughts. Your signature is too large. Please resize it to a maximum of 400 x 120 with the file size not exceeding 24000 bytes. If you would like further details please mail [email protected] - Mitnal
Epegi Givo Amarr Tundra Wolf.	Posted - 2009.01.02 06:22:00 - [22] I either name them a name from a SWG server (bria, interprid, tempest, etc) or something totally misleading like "Aristotle's Omen" for my zealot. ------------------------------------- Originally by: Karrade Krise Originally by: Epegi Givo This is my sig, or is it? Now the only thing I can think of are Yard Gnome Ninjas...
King Rothgar Death of Virtue	Posted - 2009.01.02 06:25:00 - [23] I always change the name of my ships, whether or not I give them a name like "Santa" (now destroyed hurricane) or "Hurricane 019" depends on if I feel the ship deserves a name. Typically permanent ships have a name while expendable ones have ship type and incarnation number next to it. Sometimes I don't even bother with that and will just delete my name before ship type.
Dragonwell Republic Military School	Posted - 2009.01.02 06:28:00 - [24] I name all of them. I used to use something like AAC-1779 Blindhammer (Or something to that effect, I don't think this would fit) for "Amarrian Assault Cruiser" [Number] [Name]. Now I just slap a name on there and call it good. *** Awake in a Space-Dye Vest Struggling with Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence Falling Into Infinity toward a New Millennium While trapped inside this Octavarium.
Biscuit0 GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2009.01.02 06:36:00 - [25] Set name... "."
Argyle Fennrison	Posted - 2009.01.02 07:04:00 - [26] Yes, I always name my ships. Usually with my wife's name ending in Wrath or Punish, because she hates games in general.
fuxinos Caldari Guys 0f Sarcasm	Posted - 2009.01.02 07:09:00 - [27] Edited by: fuxinos on 02/01/2009 07:11:06 ... a Gallente Helios probership named "Spacebug" ... cries a bit ... BEFORE CCP changed the hull .... sobs my poor antennas :,( i want my antennas back!
Davina Braben	Posted - 2009.01.02 07:16:00 - [28] Edited by: Davina Braben on 02/01/2009 07:16:34 If nothing else you should take your name out of the name. I name mine after songs or things out of books or anything that makes me giggle for more than five seconds.
zibelthurdos Hoshi's Mining and Logistics	Posted - 2009.01.02 07:20:00 - [29] Edited by: zibelthurdos on 02/01/2009 07:20:56 i currently have a hulk named hogan, and 2 orca's one named willy and the other named shamu. in my last corp we had a freighter named glacier. i used to have a helios named roadrunner. whenever i got through a gatecamp i'd post a quick "Meep Meep" in local and be on my way. ----------------------------------------------- Don't think of it as dying, Think of it as leaving early to avoid the rush
