What is the name of your exploration ship?

- Start date
My exploration Anaconda named Flexair from that fun meme video and its ID is BALKAN from where i came from. We had our ups and downs got our selfs from almost no fuel to wonderful blazing explosions from accidental hits. And its my companion trough the space journeys
The Asp - Explorer 'Celestia'
All of my ships are avian/mythologically themed, and need to have some connection to whatever activity or ship type they are. My explorer phantom is thus called the Minokawa, a giant space bird with feathers made of metal that could swallow the sun.
Seemed appropriate.

Asp Explorer, "Messier"
Kudos not because of the name, but because you got so high above the GP and with 36ly jump range ship... Is it some publicly known POI, or did you discover that place?My Exploramba 'Cachaca Cobalt' 5,000 lys above the plane. She's more of a Grand Tourer really, boosts to 642m/s, jumps 36lys with SRV installed
What's wrong with the name?
The POI was an FC jump or 2 away from Rackham's Peak (HIP 58832), I'm using the mamba to 'tour' systems but the FC is getting me there.

Ohhh... OK, from your post, iI got the impression you got there on your own... Kudos withdrawn then...
And the name is cool, as long as you can occasionally take a sip...
I love ship names, both coming up with them and hearing other people's. My two exploration ships are the Vagabond (DB-X) and Perseverance (Anaconda)
There are my two most-used:

AspX Exploration build - advice and comments needed and welcome
Why not get the best of both worlds and just do some short trips in the meantime? I noted that I always start missing the action in the bubble after roughly a week. So what I do now is use neutron boosts to get into uncharted regions fast, then quench my exploration desire, and when I am...

I named my three explorer vessels after the probes we sent out and a space shuttle (I know, not very imaginative).
My first one was an AspX named Pathfinder. Sold the original one long ago. Picked up a new one when I went on a spree and bought one of every ship. The new one's currently sitting in my home station waiting for me to get back and work on it some more. I'm trying to turn it into something that can put up a bit of a fight if needed (or desired) instead of a long-ranger jumper.
My second (and main one) is an Anaconda called Voyager. It was my long-range jumper for a while but I recently changed its loadout to make it more of a science vessel.
Third is a DBX called Discovery. I had wanted to make it my science vessel, but it didn't have the internal space I wanted so it's currently now more of my Bubble hopper instead of an exploration ship. I'll probably keep this as the one I use when I get those tip-off missions. Speaking of which...
I have a Krait MkII named The Bloody Pearl that I originally built to do the illegal data collection and retrieval missions. I've also used it to go to the Guardian sites a few times, so it's done its share of exploration.

I approve of this naming scheme. ^^
My favourite exploration vessel is a Krait Phantom which I named Hrimfaxi. ^^
Crusty's Curlew
Python with a Mechanist Blue Paintjob
HMS Curlew was a MineSweeper in the royal navy.
Curlew is a common name for sea fairing ships centuries ago.
I also believe it is a type of bird, too lazy to look it up.
