[WIP] Compiling a list of ship nicknames v 2.

Do you have any abbreviated / meaningful / insightful / descriptive or just plain humorous names for any of the Elite Ships?

I mean names you might call the ship model itself rather than names you assign to your particular vessels...

"Cheese Wedge" for the Added, for example, might be interesting but "GSV Practically Dead" isn't really what I'm looking for.

Probably easier just to read through the list and see what sort of thing I'm looking far rather than listen to m wittering on.

Remove "Fer-de-Lance wannabe" and "Baby Ferdie" from the Viper mkIII and put it on the Mamba instead.

Where is the MIG?
add it to the Courier asap!
I also liked to call it the "ear cancer" when it was waaay too loud. I think they fixed it some time ago...

The Python? I call it the Pirathon...

Cobra MK3? Flying Pizza?

DBS - Stealthie ; )

Click to expand...

Baby-Ferdie or Mini-de-lance has always been the Adder, tbh. Similar loadout, but smaller everything...

Also Clippy or iClip for the Clipper
Noobwinder for sidey

That's all I got...

I used to have a Type 9 I had named "The Fat Lady".
You could use that for either the Type 9 or 10 as the name would fit both (with plenty of room to spare. :D )
