) - Proud Mary ( we like to do it... nice and rough, Source: https://youtu.be/T2T5_seDNZE
) - Here I Go Again ... I seem to be going through a lot of them; they're expensive and never seem to match up to my expectations ( Source: https://youtu.be/WyF8RHM1OCg

Phantoms are
- Wheel In The Sky (BGS manipulation for TDW, Source: https://youtu.be/MxGEVIvSFeY

- Liquid Spirit (that one's the Bubble clone of Waka Wairua, to keep in with the Ghost/Spirit theme. You can never be sure you've actually seen her. I searched some lyrics sites for anything Sprit related and found this. It's a Jazz/Soul/R&B piece I've never heard about before, but it ain't half bad: Source: https://youtu.be/07rb7QQYk7E

- Midnight Tango (are you up for a dance? Combat build, Source: https://youtu.be/a6skDt0ZEGI
)
Viper is
- Chihuahua ( Source: https://youtu.be/y654TxcRuL0

)
Cutter
- Slip Slidin' ( the nearer your destination, the more you're slip slidin' away...

Keep it simple. Name it "Steve."
Rep for "The Sweet"!
If Fdev brings in a ship called Fruit Bat, it could be named Kevin.
I really like the music references - my Courier is “Telegram Sam” and my little red Corvette is called “Metal Guru” - it’s its war cry / CZ music :]

Most of mine are named after WWII ships or aircraft. I have a couple named after cars. The only really off-the-wall name I have is one of my Pythons. It's named "Robigo Taxi Service" for obvious reasons.
Just went through my ship names... too many references! I even saw my homage to "Farscape" with "Pa'u Zoto Zhaan". What was I thinking

I like “War Bast*rd” - it’s quite descriptive of a Corvette’s combat role
*oops it made me censor that^
Well, as you can tell by the (incomplete) list below, mine are quite all over the place... References, spaceship names I used in other space games, planes, cars, locomotives, songs and quite some coined by the look of the ship. And a few named after their role.
Have no clue what I'm about to do. I left when odyssey came out and I was still fairly new. My old squadron has dissolved so I'm pretty lost. Will dabble into legacy today and keep an eye on forums for a Squadron to join
