Naming of a ship

Noob question - how do people see your ship's name if you don't have a name decal? Does it show up in comms alongside your CMDR name? Is it visible in HUD when a ship is targeted? Or is the name basically for the player who creates it?

Yep if you target it you'll get CMDR/NPC name and ship name. Your own ships name if you've given it one is displayed on the top right of your HUD.

The ship name is visible in the HUD when a ship is targeted.

And ship names, unlike Commander names, don't have to be unique, correct? There could be 1,000 ships named Enterprise, for example.

to be honest i want to steer clear of the usual sci fi names, they are usually so obvious it makes me cringe. i half expect to see cmdr han solo and his millennium falcon flying around day 1 lol

The Millennium Falcon is the most iconic spaceship ever for me personally but there's nothing really like it in the ED universe as there are so many cool looking ships and ones suited to different purposes.

I know, ridiculous right? I have it nailed though: Cmdr James T Kirk and the Enterprise

I'm sure it's been done to death but I'll be naming my ships in a Culture style. Iain M. Banks was pretty good at humorous names as well as names describing why you should steer well clear of certain ships.
