:ban-hi Hello all! So I was looking through my ships list a few days back and all I saw were the boring default ship labels, so I started coming up with a number to put on my bigger, impressive, and more important ships, here's some of the names I wrote down:
(I will definitely add to the list over time.)


Binary Sunset
Parabola
Avalon
Xion
Avenging Angel
Avenging Dawn
Avenging Flame
Rising Ambition
Malevolent
Annihilator Eternal
Unstoppable Nightfall
Infinitum
Dark Avius
Untouchable Dawn
Rising Tide
Riptide
Breaking Point
Advent
Unstoppable Riot
Bitter Dawn
Screaming Fire
Dark Sider
Reptile
Broken Angel
Breaking Dawn
Star Audience
Blood Shadows
Steel Ghost
Undertaker
Lateralus
Trekka
Revelation
Lonely Flame
Rise of Eternal
Capital Punishment
Hell's Own Fury
Kiri
Manic Dawn
Avalanche
Requiem
Radiance
Shadow of Hell
Death's Echo
Forgotten Storm
Blackbird
Binary Storm
Final Stand
Falling Fire
Unknown Tyrant
Tyrnat Blade
Tyrant Flame
Tainted Drift
New Hunger
Poison Ivy
Wasteland Terror
Tyrant's Wrath
Obsidion
Perfect Enemy

I don't think too many of these are names of other ships in movies and such, so they're somewhat Original.

Feel free to use 'em yourselves, Tell which ones you like the most, and feel free to post some that you've come up with as well!

If my mission goal was pissing off the entire ATF fleet, then consider it a success!

Personally I don't like naming my ships with proper names. Too much going on to remember what name is what ship and what its role is.

If you are stuck for names, here is a good site that I use a lot for random names: http://www.seventhsanctum.com/. Thats the first thing I thought of when I seen those names, looks like the seventh sanctum name generator output.

Caught me, lol, I was listening to Tool while I wrote up the names and I felt they'd work pretty well as ship names Music

There's a ship renaming option, you don't have to memorize it, it should be in the 'advanced' tab in either target ship/station or player ship. And fun fact, I actually wasn't using seventhsanctum for the names and here's why: I wrote up this on my school computer, I just opened it and it's blocked, I swear it was my own work Wink I'll have to check it out btw Smile

Yea... My problem is that I have too much happening at once. Sure I could name it like (as example) Radiance - M1 - Heavy Support - Group 2 - Main Route, for the patrol groups, Then repeat that for all the capital patrol groups then all the personal capital escorts. Then throw in the station/sector defenders, all with unique proper names (capital ships only).

Thats what i'm getting at. Too much for me to process in a meaningful way. I mean I can't even remember most peoples names lol. Even if I only named the current ship I am flying I still look at the assets window and go "WTF is that!?, oh right thats me!"

I know what you mean, I'm horrible with names too LOL I usually keep the ship name in parentheses, like so:

Binary Sunset (Python)

Or if the names is too long I just put the ship class:
Binary Sunset (M1)

But i hear ya, I don't name ALL my ships, usually just the big capital ships, like my tyr, kyoto and I, only the meaningful ones Wink And it does take a while to rename them all, but if you're running a massive fleet op then it might be worthwhile to go through and give them some special denotation, especially if you have a couple of the same ships. Also, I just don't name my fighters unless it's my personal ship.

Im lazy with names too - I just stick RF at the start (Roguey Force - no idea really why I picked that), then add a number at the end. ie. RF Titan 1 etc.

I've gotten my own Allignment tag, TPM (Thorn Private Military), adds a nice touch Wink
