What are you going to name your Fleet Carrier?

[2plex]

I guess 'Credit Sink' will be among the more popular denominations.

I'm really hoping to see a Large Marge.

 

[Bob McBobblehead]

Think I'll actually call my carrier 'The albatross'

Hmm, I just named my ImpEagle that.

 

[Old Duck]

I have a new name: FNS Unobtainium

It will be a very unique FC in that it will have a cloaking device that hides it from all players, including myself!

Note - I'm not salty, just having some fun.

 

[Bigmaec]

First I wanted to call mine (if I ever get one that is) Call of Chtulhu or Necronomicon

But also in line with the lovecraft theme and way more fitting is

"LRFC At the Minings of Madness"

Wait... don't you have one of those already?

NOUN
a possession that is useless or troublesome, especially one that is expensive to maintain or difficult to dispose of.

Panthalassa (not that I can afford one)

 

[FurryFailure]

I'd like to vote "Big Bill's Hell" for common names.
For me personally, I'll probably go the way of my Corvette and name it after a semi-obscure war hero who deserve more credit than they got.

 

[Kojak]

SS Diamond Heist

 

[CoyoteXStarrk]

If they decide to fix the problems with the price and the upkeep costs I will be naming mine the Astaria.

 

[Ayerc]

The Salt Miner

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.

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.

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

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.

No need to wait, CMDRs.

Q. Are Fleet Carrier names unique?
A. Fleet Carrier names are not unique across the galaxy and can be changed by the owner. However, each Fleet Carrier has a unique callsign that appears on the Navigation Panel which cannot be changed.
