What are you going to name your Fleet Carrier?

Batteries Not Included was considered but dropped as beeing too long, pretty much the same as: To be used for Ironing only and Objects in the mirror are actually behind you

Edit: Obviously the name of the Herman Melville's novel was censored... Seriously?

This thread, and the other threads on this topic in the past year or so, are the reason why I strongly suspect Carriers will not be nameable. Players simply can't be trusted to keep names "sensible" and FD have neither the time nor resources to properly police it. Prediction: you'll get a random alphanumeric licence-plate-style serial number assigned to it, and you won't be able to change it.

Ahhhh, not fair. I was going to go with Leviathan. That’s a proper, no funsies name full of atmosphere. ;)

The other thing, of course: they're going to need unique names, to tell them apart. Otherwise there'll be a thousand Galacticas, a thousand Vindicators, a thousand Attempts-at-slipping-profanity-through, etc.

If for some reason they allow naming, I think (again, suspect without knowledge) that it'll be first come, first served. And again, once selected, you won't be allowed to change it, ever.

How about "The Pegasus", She has her own glorious heritage before Admiral Cain screwed it up with his/her(reimagined) shenanigans

While we don't know whether carriers will be nameable... that logic does not follow. We are permitted to name our ships, with the only "policing" done being automated with the overzealous profanity filter.
It stands to reason that, if we were able to name our carriers, they would fall under the same restrictions as our ship names.
