Ahem... is there a reason I can't name my ship?

I finally decked out my Cobra to where she is a mean green bounty hunting machine and I was trying to come up with a good name for it when I realized... we can't name our ship in game! What the...And while we're at it, why can't I customize my ship, or customize my hud... as a matter of fact I can't even really look at me ship without zooming in on some hardpoint :(

Anybody know if there are plans for this stuff?

Also what's a good name for a bounty hunting ship? :p
 
I thought naming ships was supposed to be an intended feature.. haven't really heard much about why it's not or when it might be.
As far as a name.... timmy or Bob has a nice ring. Or if you like exotic names how about lamp, or greenhouse or maybe mutant unicorn?
 
I always name my ships, even though I can't show them in game yet! One day, I hope. I have my Viper, the "Should I be Worried?" and Cobra, the "Unforeseen Circumstances" - is just fun to name the ships! There's a thread on ship names somewhere.
 
Naming ships would be fun, unless you interdicted "the little peashooter" which turns out to be an elite anaconda armed to the teeth while you're in a cobra or something
 
I think it might have been in one of the DDA's, but for now you just have to role-play it. FD already has to vet Commander names so they're G-rated, and ship names adds another layer to that. Maybe we'll get it eventually.

Meanwhile, I'm flying "The Rapidity of Sleep" in my head, at least.
 
I want to name my Python "Norfolk Enchants". Coz that what chance you have if you meet it.

Well technically you can name it whatever you want, you just cant type it in or see a graphical representation. I mean I named my dog Millie, but I didnt tattoo it across her body anywhere, and I still manage to remember what I named her.
 
I shall call mine, thingymabob.....

-shouts over the bar- 'Hey Dave, Have you seen my Thingymabob?'
-Dave replies- 'I think it's in the drawer next to the whatjamacallit..........'
