Adder: Pinball Wizard, THEWHO
DBX: Tin Can Hero, LEGEND
Challenger (AX Fit): Pest Control, SPLAT!
Chieftain: Kharak Hymn, KUSHAN
Corvette: Specter of Kharak, SJET99 (Done up in blue and yellow, just like the Pride of Hiigara)

(Can you tell I like Homeworld?)

Typer-10: Human Resources, FIRE4U
Type-9: Agora, MARKET
Krait Mk. IIL: Enigmatic Age, SPHINX
Beluga Liner: Bellasaurius XVII, RESCUE (used to be ASPIRE when a luxury liner, now my rescue ship for burning stations)

I've got others, but those are the ones that stand out in memory. I'm generally in the DBX or Corvette these days, but I use my Adder a lot for surface missions just because I love it so much.

My mining ship, a Python is the Monkey Business, ID LFD-03. Points if you get the reference.

My explorer, a DBX, is "Monkey See" with ID of "Mnkydo".

And my combat Chieftain is "Wabbajack", ID: PB4BTL (I once saw a minivan with the plate "PB4WEGO" many years ago when I was a kid, so over 25 years ago) and that was my inspiration)

My AX build ship, whatever it is, is going to be the "Bug A-salter". I'm thinking of ditching the gauss meta for it and using shards in order to fit the name more appropriately. Might not. We'll see.

Whenever I build out an FDL, she's going to be the "ASS Vorpal Blade". Again, points if you get the reference (and, no, it's not a direct Lewis Carol reference. Only 2nd hand).

A shiny sixpence for anyone who can guess the theme of my ship names from just my signature, and no glancing at my profile for that would be cheating you cads!

They all follow the same pattern, selected for their connections to my local area and it's history. I do so enjoy these threads and seeing what varied themes and naming conventions everyone comes up with; you're an imaginative bunch!

My Anaconda is named 'Hastam Argentum'. I wonder if anyone can guess what that's an obscure reference to?

My other ships are named...

Python - Disco Volante
Krait Phantom - Crean's Legacy
Asp Explorer - Star of Hibernia
Type 7 - Alba Varden
