[[Diplomacy] Carnegie]

Ah, yes, the whole (function)Conda trope. How did that not make it to the list?

Exploraconda
JumpaConda
PlasmaConda
WarConda
CargoConda

And I have a StorageConda where I keep all my extra modules.

Choo-choo-choo, come on and do the 'Conda

Oooh, Rataconda is very common among the Fuel Rats!

There's something about the Adder that always makes me think of a Citroen 2CV.

I'd say more like a Fiat Multipla.

FGS - Federal Fun Ship

 

[Quantis Trap]

Challeger is a beefier Chieftain, so I call it Beeftain

 

[GraXXoR]

Krait - Kr8

As seen in some YT comment - "Gr8 Kr8 m8."

Gunboat has been used before for a missile FGS
Discoconda, anyone?

Both added.

 

[Codger]

I call the Viper MkIV the “mini-Python” cuz that’s what it is.

 

[PiLhEaD]

My nickname for the Viper IV is ViV, or Vivvy.

You might think that it should follow that the Cobra IV should be CiV, or Civvy, but no, I think of that as 'mini-me' for the Python - not in shape more in type of role it fills.

e. Spooky I wrote my post before seeing Codger's - great minds etc etc.... [yesnod]

 

[Lightspeed]

Keelback.... also known as a Lego Ship

 

[Schmack]

I have my own nicknames for a few ships

The Python is the "Pee-thun"
The Anaconda is "Fat Mat Vat" since it has G5s often
Vulture is "hornet"
Beluga is "Love boat"
Cutter is "spatula"
T9 is "hockey puck"
iEagle - Top Gun
iCourier is "Spy vs Spy" (you'd have to see the comic to get the reference)
Cutter is "The Bear" (for reason's I've posted here before)
SLF is "space bat"
FdL is "Fiddle"
Dolphin is "Flipper"
Type 10 - slot hog

Nothing for the new ones and haven't thought about some of the others.

A looooong time ago on these forums, someone referred to the Fer de Lance as a “clown shoe”.

 

[JesusRocks1988]

Can't believe the Cutter and Beluga haven't got any euphemistic nicknames listed yet...

 

[Commander Biscuit]

Type 10 Defender = Amazon Parcel. Because it wont go through the mail slot.

 

[Qohen Leth]

SRV - golf cart
Sidewinder - Rewinder

 

[Vandaahl]

There's something about the Adder that always makes me think of a Citroen 2CV.

Oh? Its more like a Space Shuttle to me.

 

[GoldenSilver484]

A looooong time ago on these forums, someone referred to the Fer de Lance as a “clown shoe”.

I still call it one because of that.

Can't believe the Cutter and Beluga haven't got any euphemistic nicknames listed yet...

Well the forums are supposed to be family friendly. But who has time for that?

I sometimes call Cutters the imperial (), especially if they're chrome.

The Beluga is either Saud Kruger's mistake or the winged dumpster fire to me.

The Cobra MkIV is as close to a small pad Python as you can get, so I call it that. I also think it's a better ship than the MKIII.

 

[iolair]

Cobra Mk III: Cobby or Cobby 3
FDS: Federal Drift Ship
Viper Mk IV: VIV

 

[IndigoWyrd]

Orca: The... dough from which dill bread is made, that I can’t post here, because, well, look at it.

Corvette: Warvette, what else is it good for? Absolutely Nothing.

Cobra 3 : The Opinion - everybody has one.

Imperial Clipper : Cheerleader. It’s pretty and goes down easy.

Imperial Cutter : Imperial Clutter - go to any CG, you’ll understand.

Sidewinder, Eagle, Imperial Eagle : Coins. Shoot them with Force shells, you’ll get it when you’re done laughing.

Type-9 : Flying Warehouse

I think those are all my common ones.

 

[[VR] M4st0d0n]

Hauler best ship sounds in game. I call it the HypnoToad.

 

[Loki TDD]

Cobra Mk III: Danger Noodle, Snek, Slippery Tube Dude, Slither Hiss Doggo

don't forget nope rope

 

[GraXXoR]

I'm thinking of pairing up these selections with my One Glance Ship Reference into a PDF book with general ship stats, flavour text and a few nice photos.
