Ships Ship names

Alex Brentnall · Jan 4, 2016

Not in game yet but I know a lot of people have names for their ships. I've spent a fair bit of time coming up for names I think suit most of mine, it took a long time and I'm still missing a few but I can explain most of my names. Pretty sure I've seen a thread about this but I can't find it and the last time I recall seeing it was in April last year!

Here's my list in full:

Model	Status	Name
Anaconda	Exploration/Fuel-Rat	Flagship of Eir
Python	Combat	Bulwark of Lembava
Imperial Clipper	PvP	Blinding Fury
Fer-de-Lance	PvP	Váli
Lakon Type 9	Trade	IFS Great Republic
Federal Gunship	Combat	Vectra
Orca	Incomplete	Lucys' Flight
Asp Explorer	Exploration	Boundless Freedom
Lakon Type 7	Trade	IFS Redoubt
Vulture	Combat	UCF Fire Dance
Diamondback Explorer	Combat	Pilgrims Arc
Federal Assault ship	Combat	UCF Challenger
Imperial Courier	Combat	Thunder Child
Asp Scout	Exploration/Combat	Robust Pioneer
Federal Dropship	Incomplete	Twisted Metal
Cobra Mk IV	Exploration/Combat
Cobra Mk III	Mining	Ellusive Harpy
Diamondback Scout	Combat (Stealth)	Hoenir
Viper Mk IV	Combat	Invictus
Imperial Eagle	Combat
Adder	Exploration	Voidstalker
Lakon Type 6	Trade	IFS Steel
Viper Mk III	Combat
Eagle	Combat	Normandy's Blade
Sidewinder	Basic-Multirole	Rudimentary Scrap
Hauler	Trade
Keelback	Combat-Trader	IFS Shroud
Anaconda	Mining	Narada's Tribute
Imperial Cutter	Trading	Emissary of Duval
Federal Corvette	Combat	Soverign Torment

IFS - Independent Freight Service
UCF - Universal Combat Force

I've also got IFS Colossal for the Panther Clipper and Axiom for the Beluga when they come about.
Note: Ships are in insurance cost order up until the Keelback, the ones under those are not in my hangar...yet.

Would love to hear some of your names as well as any suggestions for the 5 I'm missing.

I have just two ships at present.

Federal dropship called "The Scow"

Diamondback scout called "The Beast" (its armour value is 666)

SpaceMonkeyBoom · Jan 5, 2016

Current Ships:

-Asp Scout, default livery (until more are available)
"RUN FOREST RUN"
for running the high-paying missions from Obsidian Orbital, Maia

-Type 7, green livery
"DOLLA DOLLA BILLS YO"
for grinding trade routes

Next Ships:

-Python, red livery
"BIGGER THAN A BREADBOX"
for trading rares

-Keelback, orange livery
"BIGGER ON THE INSIDE"
just to have, because I love the T6!

Dream Ship:

-Federal Corvette, any livery
"BLACKEN YOUR EYE"
because I love big ships

It would be fun to have:

-Orca, white livery
"SAUDI STYLE"
for being tasteless and offensively excessive

Glyphon · Jan 5, 2016

Current Ship
-Orca, Ice Livery
"HMS Hipparchus"
for being offensively excessive

If you can't tell by the name it's an exploration ship.

Dream Ship
Beluga Liner...one day

HereticPilot101 · Jan 5, 2016

Current Ships
Python, the "FNS Incorruptible"
Type-9, the "Two Kids' Tuition"
Imperial Clipper, the "FNS Leviathan"
Imperial Courier, the "FNS Dove"
Upcoming Ships

Federal Corvette, the "FNS Last Horse of the Apocalypse"
Asp Explorer, the "Chasing Infinity"

FNS=Federal Navy Ship
I should also mention that I have no allegiance to or rank within the Empire. The coronation of Arissa Lavigny-Duval allowed me to acquire the two Imperial ships, which is why they're christened with FNS.

Flash_Baggins · Jan 5, 2016

Asp: Ship with no name MKII (So I can make a parody of horse with no name)

Cobra MKIII: Bessie (Like Nessie but better!)
Python: Monty
Adder: Blackadder (Because BBC)
Vulture: Spock (Because i always think Vulcan is the name of the make and not Vulture xD)
DBE: Moist Von Lipwig (I was reading a bit of Terry Pratchett at the time and of course the colour)

Also my 5 Haulers: Challenger, Endeavour, Atlantis, Columbia and Discovery (Entirely original I know

)

By the way, here are other treads about name and history of ships:

CMDR Corlas · Jan 5, 2016

Recently slimmed down my garage, so I am down to:

Agincourt - Anaconda multipurpose that leans combat
Scipio - Assault Ship multipurpose that leans combat
Miklagard - Python miner
Bad Habits II - Asp exploration ship
Desine - Viper Mk III fighter

I also have an Imperial Eagle and a Viper Mk IV, both combat focused, that are in need of names.

Thanks, just gave me a bit of inspiration for my Adder which I'm tentatively naming "Voidstalker" unless anything better comes up before I next fly her. A brief google tells me it's a Warhammer 40k ship but I couldn't care too much really

I may also steal "infinity" at some point, maybe for the Cobra Mk IV... Got a few ideas bubbling again. Thanks everyone, and thanks to Kancro for the links

Mine are named after my favourite goddesses...

Cobra (mk3) - Freyja (Old Norse goddess associated with sexuality, magic and death.)
This is my main ship I use for smuggling and piracy.

Vulture - Kali ("the black one"; Hindu goddess associated with power and destruction.)
My combat ship for war zones, kill-stuff missions and assassinations.

Type 6 - Minerva (Roman goddess of Wisdom, associated with trade and commerce.)
My trading ship, obvs

Cobra (mk4) - Hecate (Greek goddess linked to the moon, magic and witchcraft.)
Planetary explorer / attack ship.

My Cmdr's RP is of Welsh descent from the Pwyll system, so all my ships have Welsh names except one special one.

Anaconda - Y Cawr Aur (The Golden Giant)
Python - Y Ddraig Las (The Blue Dragon)
Imperial Clipper - Y Brenhines Wyn (The White Queen)
Imperial Courier - Y Dywysoges Wyn (The White Princess)
Imperial Eagle - Y Llances Wyn (The White Maid)
Vulture - Y Tarw Ci (The Bulldog)

There's a number of others, but the standout is my old Asp Explorer. When I set out in February last year, she was "Y Ddraig Las" When I got back after 100,000ly and 4 months, she got renamed to "Faith Manages". She's been moored at Jameson Memorial since, only taken out once to keep the old hand in.

... but if you're Welsh and live in Wales, is it not valuable to learn Welsh to keep it alive, like an old tradition?
Or do you literally mean you don't "speak" it, as in vocally?

-- Curious

I can't "speak" it, at least not quickly enough to keep up with a conversation.
I can understand key words when it's spoken to me, and I can grok the meaning from the written word. Every child is taught Welsh in school from Infants through to options in high school. The thing is that unless you use it and practice it, you never get better than a passing knowledge. One thing that anyone born and brought up in Wales can do is pronounce placenames.
