Ship Names

[CMDR ROGER]

Exploration Conda - Endurance, nicknamed after the titular ship from Interstellar. The first journey of this ship was to a black hole near the bubble.
Combat Conda: Apollo MkII (this should be fairly obvious)
Keelback, my first SLF-compatible ship - Dan's Space Brick
My Combat Python, named Spearhead, doesn't directly reference anything, but its ID is TT40, a shorthand way of saying 'Type 40 TARDIS'.

 

[The Roofus]

Python - Easy Tiger
Mamba - Love Me Like A Reptile
Chieftain - Sweet Marijane
Eagle II - Scrappy Doo
Krait Phantom - Centennial Condor
Krait II - Big Sky

I own othe ships, but they're the best names IMO.

 

[Probably_Chook]

I have:
Attack Chook (iEagle, my first dedicated combat ship)
Raft (chief)
Omelette of Death (surprise surprise, Krait MK II)
those three are my favourite names, but I also have the egg which is a t6 as well as a few other ships with somewhat reasonable names.

 

[RyuStaar]

The Galahad - FDL
New Horizons - DbX
The Endeavor - AspX
The Hammer of Dawn - Corvette
The Black Lung - T10
Taylor's Fury - Vulture (Dual PA Vulture nicknamed after my GF; small but powerful)
Boundless - Chieftain
Infinite Dawn - Python
Staar's Bastion - Fleet Carrier

Those my Mains

Mine are pleasingly pragmatic and boring with a touch of intrigue... like garlic, butter mashed potatoes with a touch of cayenne. This pleases me.

Vulture – The Ronin (The Masterless Samurai)
Cobra Mk III – The Ranger
Python – La Pequeña Mula (The Little Mule [context of workhorse with undertones of being a drug runner])
Dolphin – The Skipper (The Captain [context of showboating])
Eagle – The Scout
Imperial Eagle – The Jester
Diamondback Explorer – The Shimanagashi (The Dishonorably Exiled)

Now I would have guessed the first one to be based on polar exploration while the second is a Battlestar Galactica reference.

Apollo MkII is named after the NASA mission. How's Battlestar Galactica? Sounds interesting

One of the characters in the original Battlestar Galactica was named Apollo.

Both Apollo references being of course of the Roman reference to Greek god Apollon...

The one from Star Trek?

Eh, had to amend my post a few times, those Greeks & Romans writing the same differently...

 

[RellTyr]

For some reason I like 5 syllable ship names with noun - adjective structure that describes the ship or it's role:

Radiant Judgement - Ferdelance
Majestic Rapture - Beluga
Glistening Skyweaver - Courier
Divine Elegance - Cutter
