I'm finding it hard to come up with a Class for a mega ship rather than just a name for a ship.......

 

[UpUpandAway]

I like Beast of Burden myself. Beast of Burden Class sounds cool to me.

 

[Sir.Tj]

The "NotTJ'sfault" class sounds quite nice.....

 

[UpUpandAway]

How about these for TJ.

Tacenda-Jettatura Class
Taphrogenesis-Jebel Class
Tanti-Jarta Class

Tacenda - Things not to be mentioned
Jettatura - The evil eye

Taphrogenesis - Vertical movement of the earth's crust
Jebel - Hill or mountain

Tanti - Worthwhile
Jarta - Term of endearment

Wow, bidding went from £27 to £100 in a single bid.. lol.

If I could bid that much...and won .. I'd choose "The Donegan."

 

[Valorin]

And immediately "Boaty McBoatface" comes to mind again... Please don't...

 

[iFred]

And the name of the ship is:

"XXX"




*runs*

 

[son of khzvoltz]

Independent class star cruiser

 

[Sir.Tj]

£155 now. excellent stuff

 

[CMDR MadRaptor]

I like Scimitar Class.....that was a beast of a ship!

Or Magellan Class for an exploration type

Or even Copernicus Class

 

[Certacito]

For a megaship with a speciality of supporting mining, it would have to be the "Smeg" Class!

 

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

£319…!

I was about to bid, but I know my luck, I'll end up having to pay it.
I can't afford that! I'm poor....

I also can't think of a good, not already used, class name.

Judging by the amount of "Denogan"s in Special Effect staff, I assume one is the founder.

So how about Donegan class?

CMDR Cosmic Spacehead

 

[Lucius-Darcia]

319 £ is already far out of my reach^^ i'm a poor man.
Intresting charity anyways. Hopefully it will get a name that is not a shame for the whole community

 

[Jenner]

And immediately "Boaty McBoatface" comes to mind again... Please don't...

Get ready for something like that. lol.

 

[Deleted member 110222]

I hope the mega-ship has a black market... No reason.

On a completely unrelated note, my favourite colour is red.

 

[UpUpandAway]

Wow, up to £670.00 right now.

 

[MadDogMurdock]

Maybe worth a punt to get Jabba Class Pleasure Barges into the game

 

[IndigoWyrd]

The "NotTJ'sfault" class sounds quite nice.....

We're naming a Megaship, not a Microship.
