What is the name of your exploration ship?

AspX - MCS Skywalker
Took my first Sag A*/BP/Colonia roundtrip in it, and in that time, the final Star Wars movie came out. Hence the name :)

Imperial Clipper - MCS Sakura
The actual ship in use on thr CEA2 expedition.
I am also interested in the Nintendo Wii + its games (Retro time! :D) and in the games on that console, more especially Wii Sports/Party, there is a (pretty skilled) CPU opponent called Sakura. She directly caught my eye when I played Bowling on the Wii as a kid (she popped up in the background). That was love on the first sight and since then, she is my favorite Wii Sports character 🌸💖

What means this "MCS"? It stands simply for: "MaultierColt's Ship" ;)

My Asp Explorer Asparagoose is gathering dust in space dock while I’m playing about in inhabited space, but in a week or so I’m going to have it resprayed in a nice red scheme (red ones go faster, innit) and rename it after a local hero, the Juninho Paulista. UTB!
 
Exploration ship for my 42 Galactic regions tour (two third finished so far, currently in the bubble again):
T-6 "Nomadius" (ID "T-Sexy" ;) )
Recently accquired and engineered: Anaconda "Maxaconda" (jump range 80 LYs)
Currenty outfitting and refueling my FC "V.P.I. Circus Maximus" (V.P.I. = Vehiculum Publicum Imperatoris)

You see I have a faible for Latin (real or fictional sounding) names.

Skimmed over the first pages of this thread and didn't find a post by me, but what would have been my answer back then is still my answer today:
Asp Explorer: Jolly Jumper
 
I'll throw in my hat here.

Flew my AspX, Myo, for a long time. As in Paula Myo from Peter Hamilton's Commonwealth Saga.

After returning to the Bubble and starting potato surveys, I flew about 80k ly in my Phantom, Watergrass, from Ann Leckie's Ancilary series (my heart is a fish...)

And lately, looking to go back to basics, I have been shaking down this Lemon that I bought and kitted for 30+ ly:
