What did you name your ship and why?
Zuka'Esrai:
Pyramidion — The Furious Vakari
If you fly with me, you know she's the most well-oiled machine in the skies! Originally came to be because the word Vakarian was banned, thus preventing Vakarian's Fury from being a thing. Named after my favorite Turian on the Citadel (more gorgeous than Rivendell). She's battle-hardened with the Reach of the gods, but she cannae turn worth a quad.
Goldfish — Pillar of Awesome
A stolen Halo reference, she's aptly named because she's got outrageous firepower in a single direction. Originated back before the lumberjack had an arming time, when you could pin anything to the ground regardless of range. Oh the glory days.
Squid — Thane of Whiterun
Ah the Thane, a masshup of Thane Krios and Skyrim. She's got the Flexibility to match the Vakari and all the commanding glory of a Thane!
Junker — Glory of Khar'Shan
The Junker always seemed the most Pirate-like to me, aside from the Galleon. She's a pitiful mashup of used parts and glorious design decisions, something you'd expect from skypirates! Aptly named because she carries herself with the awful swagger that we've come to expect from the Batarian Hegemony.
Spire — Indomitable
The Indomitable was once a glorious vessel, capable of single-handedly scorning scores of foes! She suffered a bad fall, and is now regulated to the role of glass cannon and general insult flinger. Desperate for attention, she's prone to random acts of furious ramming.
Galleon —MSV Hugo Gernsback
Another Mass Effect reference, the Hugo is duly named because I often perform maneuvers which most deem physically impossible with little regard for the crew's sanity. She'll colonize you good.
Piemanlives:
I Recently named my Junker The Fat Manatee, cause that's what I see it as.
Lovex Lazil:
I only have one ship named.
The ship is my Goldfish and it's called "Deadman's Hope"
The reasoning behind the name is simple; I can't pilot to save my life, and myself and crew usually die really fast :D
Gryphos:
I'm quite a fan of Norse mythology, so I named each of my ships after one of the nine worlds.
Pyramidion: Svartalfheim
Home of Dark elves, destruction etc.
Junker: Niflheim
Realm below Helheim (basically hell), full of junk etc.
Spire: Asgard
Highest realm, Spires are tall
Goldfish: Midgard
Middle realm, run-of-the-mill
Squid: Alfheim
Elves, fast, nimble
Galleon: Jotunheim
Realm of giants, Galleons are large
Echoez:
Junker: Maelstrom
Inspired by the Matari 'Maelstrom' battleship from EvE, the race's ships all look like scraps of metal put together, and this battleship is considered one of the most versatile, just I think of the Junker, a very versatile ship.
Goldfish: Schism
Inspired by the game with the same name, it's a game like Cyan's MYST and it had some airships very similar to the goldie.
Pyramidion: Abaddon
Abaddon, in hebrew, is a place of destruction, just like the Pyramidion is a destructime machine of death.
Spire: Myst
The Spire is a puzzle to me, so I guess the name of one of my favorite puzzle games (despite never finishing it >.<) is fitting. It's all weird and tall and it reminds me of the places in Myst's worlds.
