Ship Naming

[Arindor]

I wouldn't mind ship naming, but aren't there far, far better things for FD to spend time on than this? Atmospheric landings for instance. How about a better crime and punishment system? Or combat logging? Or even NPC's that aren't borked? <Insert issue here>?

In my case a Cobra.

Is it like this?

Nose art and ship naming would be pretty awesome.

Additionally it'll be interesting if you can apply a prefix to your ship to give an idea as to what it is, ie MV (Merchant Vessel), IMV (Imperial Merchant Vessel) etc.

Alliance Space Ship

How about "DAVE" and "TRACY" on the ship's canopy?

Ship naming OP, needs nerf!

 

[Shintai]

I wondered how long it would take for people to notice

I'm currently docked at an Orbis station named Cummings Dock in CD-86 4. Ships with silly names can't be much worse than that. I've said it before and will say it again, real world ships have silly names as well. I live in Miami. I see stupid names on boats every time I'm near a dock

I didn't say i opposed the idea. Just a bit torn But i'm sure i can survie seing the "SS George Bush did 9/11" suiciding into space stations. A minor hit to my immersion won't break the game

Let's hope it's not like paint jobs and bodykits a paid store item. 2.5 € per name…

To be honest I'd be quite happy with this. Bit of extra revenue for FD for a cosmetic item and might filter out trolling names...

As much as i think the idea of giving your ship some personality is awesome. It is almost inevitable to not come across ships named "SS y0l0sWag#420" and the likes. So i'm a bit torn on this

Know what you mean, but don't quite see that to be any worse than a commander named after a certain german dictator.
Which is in game, so peculiar naming rules in place at best.

My Orca will be Steely Dan, as in Steely Dan III from Yokohama.

It's got the shape for it already.

 

[Fenris Wolf]

I look forward to ship naming in game. I've been naming my ships since day one and loads of other folk have too.

Trying to think what the Ford Cortina of space is.

As for the whole thing if you have to pay for it..nah.

How do you generate the steam?

I know a bloke who has that as a last name, nothing really that funny........... Oh wait a minute.

In proper tradition, ship naming should be completely RNG. Random Name Generated. Here comes my Cobra "ö ejrpqwcjrü3 j4kr" MkIV.

Oi! That's my Cobras name you copy cat!!!!

 

[RhymeRhyme]

My white Python is called ----- Cocaine

aka Columbian marching powder. [hotas]

I'll reserve Boaty McBoatface.

Damn, got here too late.
Guess I'll reserve "Shippy MacShipson" (calling it Shippy MacShipface would be too close to it being called 'really really drunk' in swear words [downcast] ).

Cockpit Cats! - Yes please, pretty please.... Also Talking Parrots that can be trained. Devs - please drop everything else this second and concentrate all efforts on this money spinning (for you) add-on for the cockpit. I mean Commanders would pay through the roof for that Parrot (especially when it starts saying "Pew, Pew, Pew." when the guns are firing and "run away, run away" when the shields go down). [hehe]
