Your favourite ship names. Let's all point and laugh.

[Elliot Coleman]

Here are my ship names:

Dolphin - Lucidity
Eagle - Lancer
DBX - IEV Odysseus
Cobra III - Cadairne III (best I can tell it means "scr*tum" in gaelic)
AspX - Midnight Rider
T-6/T-7 - Government Mule I/II
Chieftain - Dullahan (the headless horseman...I love this ship but it loses its cockpit quick)
Python - Coyote

edited for stupid childish filter

 

[EUS]

Sadly, despite being the mildest of naughty words now (and a classical girls name) my 'fun' ship names get blocked out.

Mulva?

 

[here_it_comes]

I killed "Fiddy Spence" last night.

 

[Speedcuffs]

Ah yes, I have a fast long haul delivery Conda, 'Hexenkopf Kurier', which is not funny, but the filter wouldn't allow 'Beryllium B<censored>'.

Always liked one Commander's mining Python 'Arthur Scargill' and the Thargoid botherer Keelback 'The Probulator', Commander Kzak, I think.

 

[Achtung-Goomba]

I’m too serious and not at all imaginative enough to think of witty names for my spaceships, so I’ve gone the compromise route and seriously named them after local celebrities and history. We’ve got the Henry Bolckow deep space miner, named for a local industrialist; the Keelback Dorman Long, named for a old metalworking firm was originally a S&R vessel but after being hastily refitted as an armed and up-armoured merchantman for the Ackwada CG was renamed the Infant Heracles which is one of my favourites, referring to the old industrial power of my homeland. My first dedicated combat build is a Crusader, Green Howard after the area’s local army regiment, but that one hasn’t really sparked my fire so to speak. But my proudest ones are the long range DBX Juninho Paulista, so named for the greatest player I’ve ever seen in local football colours, and my forthcoming possibly-a-Mamba heavy fighter build which shall be named the Viduka in honour of the second greatest Australian hero since Ned Kelly.

My Krait Phantom is "Interlopper-01", planning to get Krait MK2/Python for combat (I am not a combat person but you lot FORCED ME - more or less) - this will be called "Grah!". Both names are references to No Man's Sky (words used by one of the races in the game)...

 

[nosleepdemon]

Can't go wrong with "Mission Target".

Yesterday I saw an NPC called Jules Verne flying in the system I'm in, pretty sure it's not the first time I've since him in ED either. Flies pretty well for a dead person.

 

[Werewolf13]

T-9 - Lumbering Toad
T-7 - Happy Mule
Dolphin - Little Bit
Krait Phantom - Alphadore's Buddy

The other 5 ships I own all have reasonably appropriate names for their class and function.

 

[Phill P]

Dolphin - Ecco.
Asp X - Cleo.
Phantom - The Millennium Pancake.
Cutter - Mid Life Crisis - because it wouldn't let me call it [male appendage] extension.
Beluga - Bengaluga - because it has the orange and black flame livery and someone said it looked like a tiger.
Courier - Fedex.
DBX - Jiminy - because someone said it looked like a grasshopper or a cricket.
Corvette - specially engineered for burning station rescues, runs very cold - Ferrari Fridge.

 

[Mesolithic]

I have a ship called "Beer Krait". Well, it made me chuckle.

 

[Deleted member 182079]

Bold Move RS Haul - Shieldless T9
Imperial Clutter - Sidewinder
Keely Minogue - Keelback
Haute Vulture - Vulture
Krait Battle AX - Xeno Combat Krait
Judge Judy Executioner - Corvette

The rest is too mundane to mention.

 

[Borko]

Judge Judy Executioner - Corvette

Lol. I actually spotted this one in your sig a few nights ago. My son and I were laughing about it. Top form, sir! o7

 

[Bottom Hat]

One of my game friends calls his combat Corvette System Authority, which I think is quite clever!

 

[Michael Whatever]

I have a stripped out explorer anaconda called "long distance relation" - ship.
& a combat FDL called "Dances with Lasers" because it does.

Would love to be able to use longer names.

 

[Borko]

In the brief time I flew an FDL (before I remembered I hate it), I christened it I Can Haz Ur Stufz. Seems appropriate given the FDL’s chief use.

 

[Iron Body]

Everybody laughed when I named my ship "Titanic" for DW2.
But she's still going strong with over 2m ly in her now.

 

[Sysmon]

In the brief time I flew an FDL (before I remembered I hate it), I christened it I Can Haz Ur Stufz. Seems appropriate given the FDL’s chief use.

My FDL is called "Tailchaser", named after Fritti Tailchaser and not (necessarily) after one of my pre-marital pastimes.

I have a Beluga named Colin after my grandmother.
