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
McFly C0LDFIRE RUDE Alliance	Posted - 2009.01.02 07:23:00 - [30] My best names for ships I've used so far... Rohk - BigStick Nightmare - Zap!

Rondo Gunn Caldari Perkone	Posted - 2009.01.02 08:13:00 - [31] Song titles, lyrics, band names, whatever insanity happens to wander in front of my minds eye. shin ku myo u
Sheriff Jones Amarr Clinical Experiment	Posted - 2009.01.02 08:17:00 - [32] Spathi Eluder. Yehat Terminator. Ilwrath Avenger. You get the point My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.
Tippia Raddick Explorations BlackWater.	Posted - 2009.01.02 08:19:00 - [33] Inconsistently. No sig for me, thankyouverymuch.
Tollen Sendek Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.02 08:26:00 - [34] I like to name my Ships with stuff that come out of Warhammer 40K novels myself :) I now have a basic frig called "Hawk of Asaheim" after some Space Wolf Thunderhawk, a frig called "Bellus", and so on... For heavier ships I like to use stuff like "Wrath of Pardua", "Divine Retribution" and the like :) Cry Havoc, and let slip the dogs of War!
Mr Ignitious R.E.C.O.N. The Firm.	Posted - 2009.01.02 08:28:00 - [35] i tend to name my interceptors in lolcats fashion, everything else is probably genitalia. Originally by: CCP Zulupark WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
Avalon Champion Gallente Defence Evaluation Research Agency	Posted - 2009.01.02 08:30:00 - [36] Yep, i try and name the ships, either using Arthurian Legend, or demon names, eg Cov-ops called Myrdin Wylts, and a Phobos called Mephastopholies. General use ships are named for the purpose, eg, Hacker for Radar Sites, Excavator for Magnetromagnetic sites, Ice Breaker for macks, Manic Miner for hulks.
Karann Minmatar Locus Solus	Posted - 2009.01.02 08:42:00 - [37] Originally by: Minny Sky Anything other than your characters name indeed, and if i'm out and about probing usually someone elses name
sha kaan	Posted - 2009.01.02 10:17:00 - [38] I name all my ships after 'chevaliers du zodiaque' characters. Like 'Gemini Kanon', 'Dohko' or 'Radhamantis'. Why keep the geekiness confined to just playing MMO after all?
Polysynchronicity Amarr MEK Enterprises	Posted - 2009.01.02 10:38:00 - [39] My primary mission running ships are all "Righteous Blade" and a number. I'm currently on an Apoc, "Righteous Blade XXVII", which says something about my missioning skills. ;) On the PVP front, there's been Polysynchronicity - Only covops I ever bought, been around for over a year without getting popped. Lucky Griffin - I named it this after I flew it from F4R to Amarr through hostile 0.0, without seeing a single hostile. Most of my PVP ships I name by holding ALT and mashing the numpad until something interesting came out. My favorite so far is ALT-3331. Try it! ----------
TimMc Gallente Brutal Deliverance OWN Alliance	Posted - 2009.01.02 10:56:00 - [40] Originally by: Khraunus 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... My archon is named "r4petrain"
Kaijusan Gallente gallach minig Corp New Eve Mining manufacturing Organisation	Posted - 2009.01.02 11:07:00 - [41] I name mine after German or Italian warships from WW1/WW2
Sorum Daemoth Insidious Existence RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2009.01.02 11:19:00 - [42] My ship names are constructed something like this... [Character Name] has [Random STD] Otherwise clever puns or movie quotes and whatnot work just as well. *You just got WTF EXIT ganked!*
Maria Kalista	Posted - 2009.01.02 11:27:00 - [43] Oh a mix of stuff. Sometimes just the shape inspires me, so my Apocalypse = "Black & Decker Drill" And the Harbinger looked like a cross to me so its called "Golden Cross" then using one for salvaging which is named "Bone Collector" because of its function. And I named the Sigil "Big Ugly Bug (BUB)" cause it looks like something that just crawled out of a deep dark moist icky pitt. Originally by: AkRoYeR ...the beauty of EvE. You have to live on the edge all the time. If you don't stay frosty, you will die! Best game ever!
Atedar Kerane HeXstoof	Posted - 2009.01.02 11:33:00 - [44] I find myself an english dictionary, close my eyes, and find a random word. If I don't like the word, I just find another one... Usually Im pretty lucky and find a good word in the first go...
Trilton Toth Caldari Navy Guard	Posted - 2009.01.02 11:35:00 - [45] My corporation has a policy for all ships to use the designation "CNG." For example my Raven is "CNG. Landra".
Rivur'Tam the united	Posted - 2009.01.02 11:36:00 - [46] they are all named around the genitailia .. ...

Cibo Seidensha Amarr Biotronics Inc. Alternative Realities	Posted - 2009.01.02 11:50:00 - [49] Either names of fiction characters I like... or stupid puns like Sentimental Sentinel and Arbitraitor Arbitrator ...
HexPee Caldari Thunder Catz	Posted - 2009.01.02 11:59:00 - [50] Edited by: HexPee on 02/01/2009 12:00:29 Edited by: HexPee on 02/01/2009 12:00:12 Enyo: MyNutzEnYoMouth Badger: No Good Loot Badger 2: Completely Empty Most everything else just gets named whatever type of ship it is like Crow or Generic Crow (although I have named a few of my 'ceptors after race cars or speed related euphemisms, ie Draggin Wagon). I think everyone should name their Stabber or Thorax after something schlong related....
Lui Kai Better Than You	Posted - 2009.01.02 12:00:00 - [51] I usually name mine with a joke that only I think is clever, and no-one else ever gets or cares about. I feel fairly standard in this regard. ----------------
Sheriff Jones Amarr Clinical Experiment	Posted - 2009.01.02 12:50:00 - [52] Originally by: Cibo Seidensha Either names of fiction characters I like... or stupid puns like Sentimental Sentinel and Arbitraitor Arbitrator ... Wouldn't Arbitrary Arbitrator be better My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.
Thenoran Caldari Hegemony Enterprises HEGEM0NY	Posted - 2009.01.02 12:54:00 - [53] Yarrbinger ------------------------ Low-sec is like sailing along the coast of Somalia...
Therlite	Posted - 2009.01.02 12:58:00 - [54] I buy most my ships of contracts, and I keep the names the previous owners gave the ships.
baltec1 R.U.S.T. Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2009.01.02 13:02:00 - [55] bomber - space prawn badger II - LEEROY!
Cibo Seidensha Amarr Biotronics Inc. Alternative Realities	Posted - 2009.01.02 13:32:00 - [56] Originally by: Sheriff Jones Wouldn't Arbitrary Arbitrator be better I didnt plan to go for Ubuntu themes there, but might consider it. ;)
Kara Mitsui The New Era HUZZAH FEDERATION	Posted - 2009.01.02 13:47:00 - [57] I always have trouble, looking at a list of random-named ships, remembering which is which. So now I name them as anagrams of the real name, you can spot them pretty easily once you get the hang of it. And some of them are really funny. The retribution I am flying now is called 'Burrito Nite' Hurricane = 'Reach Ruin' Megathron = 'Hot Engram' http://wordsmith.org/anagram/
Aurevoir Connard	Posted - 2009.01.02 13:56:00 - [58] I like to name my ships after characters from the wizard of oz. I have Tin Man, Scarecrow, Dorothy, Cowardly Lion, Toto, Wicked Witch, you get the idea. When I get a carrier I'll name it Flying Monkey's.
Angus McFlaf Federation of Freedom Fighters	Posted - 2009.01.02 13:57:00 - [59] I usually go for Scooty Puff Jr. or Scooty Puff Sr.
Ryoji Tanakama Caldari Firestar Drive Yards	Posted - 2009.01.02 13:59:00 - [60] My Vulture, with maxed fleet bonuses, is 'Benevolent Authority' and my Charon is 'Inevitable Bounty'. Tempting fate? Maybe. Most of the others are a play on words too, also based upon the function and/or class of ship.
Ag3nt 5mith Amarr Dark Rising Inc.	Posted - 2009.01.02 13:59:00 - [61] Like a few people have said in this thread i start my ship name off with HMS and then what ever takes my fancy really at the time For instance my Salvaging ship is called HMS Hoover.
Deus Letus Chooch Inc.	Posted - 2009.01.02 14:02:00 - [62] Didn't the Scooty Puff Jr. have a serious design flaw? I used to name my Battleships after my wife, but then they would get blown up and she would start accusing me of doing it on purpose to get back at her cause she doesn't like it when i play eve. Now I just look at them and decide based on role and look, and what I am drinking at the time. Be surprised how many Old no.7's and Scotch on the Rocks I have spread about.
Angus McFlaf Federation of Freedom Fighters	Posted - 2009.01.02 14:10:00 - [63] Quote: Didn't the Scooty Puff Jr. have a serious design flaw? Yes, that's why i call the next one Scooty Puff Sr. when it blows up
Laina Delapore Caldari Red Sun Industries	Posted - 2009.01.02 14:19:00 - [64] Like many others out there, I like to 'borrow' my ship names from Iain M. Bank's excellent works of science fiction. Hence names like: Yawning Angel (Badger) Gravitas Free Zone (Merlin) Liveware Problem (Drake) Killing Time (Harpy) Just a shame that EVE only allows so many characters for your ship name, so I can't use other favourites like "What Are The Civilian Applications?" and "Frank Exchange of Views." If I ever have a freighter, it's getting to be called the Sleeper Service.
Leviathan9 Gallente Royal Hiigaran Navy	Posted - 2009.01.02 14:26:00 - [65] I use names that sound cool. I don't like using stupid names. ---------------------------
Cygnus Scott Caldari Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2009.01.02 14:27:00 - [66] I name most of my ships, a few like my shuttle or some of the lower rank T1 Frigs I don't bother to name. My Rifter is named the Hellbilly Choppa. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
Sheriff Jones Amarr Clinical Experiment	Posted - 2009.01.02 14:28:00 - [67] Originally by: Leviathan9 I use names that sound cool. I don't like using stupid names. So..."Peepee", "GerbilSmasher", "Trokh the Rokh" and "Eric"? My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.

Ghengis Tia	Posted - 2009.01.02 14:48:00 - [69] Edited by: Ghengis Tia on 02/01/2009 14:49:05 My Minmatar ships are named after Native American chiefs/warriors: Cochise, Geronimo, Sitting Bull. My Caldari BS's are named after Apache tribes/individuals: Coyotero (a vicious band of Apaches) and Mangas Coloradas(Red Sleeves, a warrior). My other ships are named after either function,Norse mythology, or brilliant humor. For example my Mammoth is named "Tusk".
Chris Liath Gallente Red Dwarf Mining Corporation space weaponry and trade	Posted - 2009.01.02 14:49:00 - [70] I name my ships in latin. Deus Ex Machina - God from a machine. What else can it be used on, than the Megathron? Dies Irae - Judgment day. For the Hyperion In Excelsis - In the highest. For the Deimos Memento Mori - Remember you're mortal. For the Thorax And so on. "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
Kweel Nakashyn Minmatar Kernel of War Tau Ceti Federation	Posted - 2009.01.02 14:59:00 - [71] Originally by: Chris Liath I name my ships in latin. Deus Ex Machina - God from a machine.

Gypsio III Dirty Filthy Perverts	Posted - 2009.01.02 15:58:00 - [73] Originally by: Arkeladin 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 :) I named my very first BC "Hood". It died ten minutes later as I jumped into a camp.
Washell Olivaw	Posted - 2009.01.02 16:06:00 - [74] Dragonnames from Dragonriders of Pern. With blue/green/brown/bronze matched to the appropriate ship class, gold is reserved for capitals I'm yet unable to fly. Though I am now getting the ability to fly other races and thinking of keeping the dragonnames restricted to Gallente. Originally by: Signature Everybody has a photographic memory, some people just don't have film.

Dark Soldat Caldari Dirty Deeds Corp. Axiom Empire	Posted - 2009.01.02 16:41:00 - [76] Ships i name in the memory of my first corporation. They usualy are ''Obnoxious mans Raven'' or if the name doesnt fit ''Obnoxious mans Ship'' and when im frisky i name them after SGA/SG1`s ships If you are reading the above post you are not very bright.I live in Russia. I wear the fufaika, valenoks and the shapka-ushanka with the red star.
Sheriff Jones Amarr Clinical Experiment	Posted - 2009.01.02 16:53:00 - [77] I once named my shuttle "CryEngine" and jumped into a gatecamp. Everyone else lagged out My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.
Dassad Tahara Amarr Imperial Zoba-Tahara	Posted - 2009.01.02 16:58:00 - [78] I have a little system for naming whatever I fly: <Actual ship name> <Character initials>-<Three digit number>/<Two or three letters that indicate its purpose> So for example, my Bestower (which for me is a "Cargo Vessel") is named: Bestower DT-501/CV Not at all clever or entertaining, but I like the uniform naming for my ships and I'm never ever lost for a name.
Mikal Drey Minmatar Priory Of The Lemon Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2009.01.02 16:59:00 - [79] hey hey not only do i name my ships all my more permanent ones get called by name. My current ship naming convention is email style :) Muninn = [email protected] Rapier = [email protected] Huginn = [email protected] my broadswords all have been named using highlander references Ramirez's Revenge is my last surviving one
Highwind Cid	Posted - 2009.01.02 17:01:00 - [80] Originally by: Vall Kor Originally by: MeestaPenni Saw a battleship the other day named; "Don't Repackage". Apparently someone learned a valuable lesson. Ouch.. Why do rigs get destroyed or more?

Sakura Nihil Stimulus Rote Kapelle	Posted - 2009.01.02 18:05:00 - [83] Anything I think of, from last names of people I've known IRL, to geographic features on the planets (Mercury to Mars), star names, or just generally good names from the English language. I do have a tendency to use one-word names, though, nothing fancy like "Justified Atrocity" for me. Football? Hell yes.
Daoi Sith	Posted - 2009.01.02 18:26:00 - [84] usually shuttle or caldari shuttle,amarr shuttle, etc this helps with being scanned down as well as delaying your wreck getting looted by people who arent paying attention
Barbens Sky Net Industries	Posted - 2009.01.02 18:41:00 - [85] I always name my ships random things. I only change them when travelling through 0.0. I'll pick a stargate name and change it to my ship name. It does confuse some :) BaRbEnS
Bish Ounen Gallente Best Path Inc. Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2009.01.02 19:09:00 - [86] I have several different naming schemes I use. Sometimes I name them based on the general appearance of the ship, sometimes I give them just a random, cool-sounding name. Lately though, I've been using song titles and Lyrics for name inspiration. So many songs have really cool sounding titles and lyrics, and I just abscond them for my own. Tactical Logistics using the last T1 Frigate hull!

Helena Shun Caldari United Capsuleers' Corporation	Posted - 2009.01.02 22:44:00 - [92] Edited by: Helena Shun on 02/01/2009 22:45:55 Edited by: Helena Shun on 02/01/2009 22:44:57 I use the following format: ABC-01D Where A is the first letter of the ship's race... (or corporation in case of ORE ships) B is the first letter of the class of ship... (In case of collision, use acronyms) C is the first letter of the type of ship... (In case of collision within same class and race, use first few letters). 01 is a fitting indicator used to track fittings... D is a letter incrementing after each ship bought (if required, another letter is appended, representing a base 26 number for ships numbering above 26)... So, for example, my second moa (Caldari Cruiser) using my fitting labeled 6 would be called CCM-06B My tenth gallente shuttle (Shuttle craft, shuttle class) would be called [here is a special case since no fitting is applicable, it is using label 00] GSS-00J My first amarr Abaddon (Battleship) using fitting 1 would be called ABsAb-01A Not a perfect naming scheme, but it does the job.

FarosWarrior Amarr Sonnema	Posted - 2009.01.03 00:08:00 - [94] I normally give my industrial ships (think freightorz hulks and the lot) just some stupid random names... Hulk is named Om Nom Nom Nom for example and my obelisk is named Koelkast (fridge) and my industrial sized haulers are just Mover I, II etc.. as for my other ships they normally go after a faction from my story, the ORS. and mostly with mythology (flagship name is ORS Atlantis, another is Sparta etc.) Cheers, Faros

Sidrat Flush Caldari Life is Experience Rally Against Evil	Posted - 2009.01.03 00:17:00 - [96] I name my ships after discworld characters. I have most of the main characters from Ankh-Morpork already, I might have to get new ships just to be able to use more names. Rincewind is the name of my badger mk 2 that has warp core stabs to help it run away. Sergeant Colon, is the dependable but slow, and long employed Raven. There's more of course, the Drake was named after lord Vetinari, some don't really have a reason, but I like Carrot Ironfounderson for the Hulk and Corp. Littlebottom for the mackinaw. I rarely have time to do nothing but think about names any more but when I did I took it seriously. -------------------------- Life is about memories the more the better.

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. oh , the culture ship names is the best: "liveware problem" "now we try it my way" "don't try this at home" "you'll clean that up before you leave" "subtle shift in emphasis" my nyx is named Banzai Butterfly , after a song by the swedish group quit your dayjob. The lyrics go something like this: "die die butterfly , die die butterfly , banzai butterfly....." I am always yelling it in PvP :-D . you'll never jump alone
Artassaut Minmatar Oblivion Amalgamated	Posted - 2009.01.03 01:03:00 - [100] My names have "Rocket" in them, and a characteristic of the ship. Providence = 0.001MN Rocket.

FLORIAN HUTTER	Posted - 2009.01.03 01:37:00 - [101] I usually go by the look of the ship for inspiration. unless it's gonna be a PvP ship then it gets a number. Navy Megathron: Obsidian Knight Enyo: Sir Galahad Ishkur: Minimum Maximum All Itty's: NPC Decoy Currently thinking up a suitable name for an Ishtar and Deimos. Thinking Something Insect-like for the Ishtar Because of the carapace. I do think the names Iain M Banks comes up with for culture ships is amazing. Gunboat Diplomat being one of my faves.

Grendelsbane	Posted - 2009.01.04 06:31:00 - [130] Originally by: Vall Kor And if so, how do you choose the name? I name mine after British WWII ships. Running around in "So and So's Cyclone" is really asking for it. Sometimes fleets will name themselves according to a plan to reduce scan clutter. If you can't think of something witty, the good old "Asteroid (Veldspar)" will work fine. I've also had a grand time renaming my shuttle "Grendelsbane's Hyperion" and such.

They are: Dominix: Locus Trashmaker Catalyst: Locus Trashgrabber Badger II: Locus Trashhauler I also had a blaster Brutix named "Tap Tap the Red Nose," ala. Yoshi's Island.

Arthalion Thoidon Caldari Splint Eye Probabilities Inc. Dawn of Transcendence	Posted - 2009.01.04 10:50:00 - [137] All of my approx. 210 different ships have name and with some many ships it can get hard to stick to a single logic, still I tried. All my amarrian ships( except for my second hand navy apoc) are named after places near where I grew up. Used to be in the village itself, is up to a 20mile/30km radius by now. Most other ships are named for either a quality they are supposed to have( according to their info) or what they look like. This leads to names like: Trash Can, Ironing Board, Jawa Crawler and I forgot the rest. Of course there are also people with a (very) twisted sense of humor in this game. In an older 'ship's names' I once read someone had called his hurricane Katrina.
Typhado3 Minmatar Ashen Lion Mining and Production Consortium Axiom Empire	Posted - 2009.01.04 11:18:00 - [138] anime characters and animals (usually australian animals), also will add the occasional strange name such as naming my ship after some random red in local. mastadon = appa hulk = geko mack = skink tempest = stingray gas harvesting phoon = minmatar but plug scimitar = shinobu scorpion = bluering ccp fix mining agent missions % pls

Atharax	Posted - 2009.01.04 11:57:00 - [140] My ships got rather unimaginative names. The Nightmare is currently named 'Space Oddity' but used to be 'HSsslich' and if that german name doesnt tell you anything go google Rammstein. But sǝɯɐudıɥs uɐɔ ʎ11ɐnʇɔɐ ǝq ǝpısdn uʍop and that I use that for Assault and Interceptors class ships, so my Vengeance for example is named ɐɯǝxɔǝ.

Discrodia Gallente Independent Miners Guild	Posted - 2009.01.04 12:43:00 - [141] Yup. I'm in my Deadspace-addicted stage ATM, so most of my ships have asian-sounding first names and latin-ish second names. I'm weird I know. I like whales... I'm donating 300 mil towards an Orca BPO. Did you notice this is my sig? _______________ I mine rocks. Bigass rocks. :D
Triffid PieMuncher	Posted - 2009.01.04 15:05:00 - [142] I name my ships after pies,,, so Pork, Steak & Ale, Cherry etc etc Only exception is my cov-ops named BOOT.INI because it disappears

Starting with CNS (Caldari Navy Ship, what can I say? Caldari at heart :) ) then after that, add a name relating to electric. To name a couple.. (I'm still collecting names for Mythical/legend names so all my ships are named after them, again must relate to electricity.) All t1 frigates, C.N.S. Ramiel (angel of thunder) I to whatever XX Raptor - Thunder Speed, Speedybolt (Close tackler) Crow - Barak (Barak \b(a)-rak\ is pronounced ba-RAHK, BARE-ek. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "flash of lightning".) Manticore - ThunderClouds Blackbird - ThunderWave (paralyzing attack from pokemon ) Nighthawk - ThunderHawk Rokh - Thor's Hammer Raven - Thunderer My hauling ships however, are named differently. Looking for a name for Rhea (as soon as I get one :s). Maybe Obese Man? Charon - Little Fat Man bustard - Big Fat Man ----------------------------------- Peace through power!

Mire Stoude Cash Money Brothers	Posted - 2009.01.04 22:56:00 - [147] Edited by: Mire Stoude on 04/01/2009 22:56:45 Usually things that make me giggle like "I ****ed in my pants", things from favorite shows or songs like "Aurora Chair" (Farscape), or something that represents how I feel about a ship like "This ship sucks".
Sophil	Posted - 2009.01.04 23:07:00 - [148] I always name my ships something. I did alot of solo 0.0 roaming in taranis before and I used to name my Taranis 'Taranis #1' 'Taranis#2' and so on, but I lost the number (think I was on 28) so now it's only taranis :)
leboe Dark Star Cartel Molotov Coalition	Posted - 2009.01.04 23:14:00 - [149] when the suicide/speed nerf was inevitable, I went through 5 suicide ganking brutii named "Nerf Nanos [1-5]" im also going through kestrels that are simply their number, spelled out with letters, with occasional variations (such as "ate") I think you can tell one's attachment to a ship by their name, my real pvp ships get their own names; lego starwars, raging bull, altscout, rook? (next falcon gets named checkmate)
Berandus Agustus	Posted - 2009.01.05 00:06:00 - [150] i named my mining cruiser "Delinquent Miner" and my hauler "Porkchop express"

Todd Doughnut	Posted - 2009.01.05 11:38:00 - [153] Originally by: Xthril Ranger Originally by: Taak Coram 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. oh , the culture ship names is the best: "liveware problem" "now we try it my way" "don't try this at home" "you'll clean that up before you leave" "subtle shift in emphasis" my nyx is named Banzai Butterfly , after a song by the swedish group quit your dayjob. The lyrics go something like this: "die die butterfly , die die butterfly , banzai butterfly....." I am always yelling it in PvP :-D Yeah - I just wish there was no character Limit so I could fly "The anticipation of a new lovers arrival"
fivetide humidyear Gallente EXCESS10N	Posted - 2009.01.05 11:47:00 - [154] a few of mine sing for (absolution) butterflies and (hurricane) limiting factor (megathron) death and gravity (phobos) grey area (ishtar) forgot teh cloak (anything cloaky) my favourite ethics gradient (sleipnir) need longer ship names too, to get the best iain m banks ship names in

Neddy Fox Gallente Paxton Industries Paxton Federation	Posted - 2009.01.05 13:24:00 - [158] "7 Inches" for the Itt4, and "8 Inches" for the Itty5 :) Lepricorn for the Obelisk, will need to find a proper name for the Anshar. My main ISK making Domi is "Heart of Gold" from THHGTTG. Megathron is "LongShot" from Larry Nivens Ringworld. The rest of the (pvp) ships are lost too many times, and named "..." for being more anonymously. ---- [PXIN Recruiter] PXIN Recruitement thread

Gabriel Karade Celtic Anarchy	Posted - 2009.01.05 15:11:00 - [161] Even though it's years since I read the books, I think I've probably been naming all my Megathrons after Stardestroyers from the Thrawn trilogy... -------------- Video - 'War-Machine'

Jack Gilligan Dragon's Rage KIA Alliance	Posted - 2009.01.05 15:34:00 - [164] Edited by: Jack Gilligan on 05/01/2009 15:36:47 Usually my ships are all named Defiance but I have assigned unique names to my capital ships which are named after notable World War II warships, one is USS Yorktown and the other USS West Virginia. USS Yorktown was a carrier that was lost in the Battle of Midway, but delivered the dive bombers that sank the last Japanese carrier winning the battle. USS West Virginia was actually SANK during the bombing of Pearl Harbor but was raised, refitted, and served with distinction during the war. --- My opinions are my own and do not necessarily represent those of my corp or alliance.
Antiquus Altercor Minmatar Phoenix Propulsion Labs Lost Sheep Domain	Posted - 2009.01.05 17:26:00 - [165] American, Ozzie, Kiwi and Japanese ships that fought in the Solomon Islands or New Guinea area during WWII. Frigates are named after Destroyers or smaller ships (one is PT124, the only US PT boat to sink a Japanese destroyer single-handed), Cruisers and Battlecruisers are named after Cruisers, and BS's after BS's. Industrials are named after Liberty Ships or Victory Ships. The only exceptions is a Rapier named The Sweet P, which was the nickname of the USS Portland, and a Sacrilege named the Johnston, which never fought near these places but during the battle of the Leyte Gulf charged a huge Japanese formation including the Yamato, the largest battleship ever. Johnston and it's captain Lt. Cmdr. Ernest Evans didn't survive the battle, but they accomplished delaying and distracting the Japanese fleet allowing their targets - escort carriers who Johnston was escorting - to escape. 141 of the 327 men on the Johnston survived the battle. I have another Sacrilege named the Samuel B. Roberts from the same battle.
Yareko Taguichi	Posted - 2009.01.05 18:08:00 - [166] Originally by: Mecinia Lua I name mine. Generally from Norse mythology, Star Wars Ships, and/or Emotions. So your names would be like "Envious Chewbacca Odin"? I always change my ships name to the default name except without my chars name in front. Gives them information they had already, nothing more nothing less.
Antiquus Altercor Minmatar Phoenix Propulsion Labs Lost Sheep Domain	Posted - 2009.01.06 00:56:00 - [167] Another way to name a ship would be ship names from Banks Culture series - like Grey Area, Don't Try This at Home, It's My Party and I'll Sing If I Want and Liveware Problem. Great series.
Karrade Krise Galatic P0RN Starz	Posted - 2009.01.06 02:36:00 - [168] I've gone through so many ships... I tend to call them Priest Seeking Boy if people in local knowing what I'm in wont affect anything. If circumstances come about of course I'll change it in midstride, just to confuse them. Voluntold, New Webcomic
Bo'Tox Amarr Arkor Inc	Posted - 2009.01.06 03:04:00 - [169] Named my retriever to "Fetch, Fido, Fetch". PS: Fido now sits in station like a good boy as he is getting old and I use my Exhumer now... but I keep it around for the odd mission when I feel I can loose it....So dont bother scanning for it!
Marcus Xavier Minmatar Xavier Institute for Higher Learning	Posted - 2009.01.06 03:08:00 - [170] They are all named "Черная перла" in GW or "Perle noire" in Curse. My dinghy, er, shuttle is named "S". ---------------- Mutatis Mutandis
