What did you name your ship and why?
James T. Kirk:
Goldfish: USS Enterprise
My favorite ship, and it comes with the username.
Squid: Ricky Bobby
Because if you're not first, you're last.
Pyramidion: LEEEERRRROOOYYY
I ran all gat, and a friend of mine (In his Pyra christened the "JEEENNNKKKINNNSS") ran mortars and we blindly rushed into battle.
Galleon: Fighting Fire
Early in my experience with the game, I was having trouble taking down a quad-manticore Galleon, so I tried fighting fire with fire. It failed miserably, but the name stuck.
Spire: Tire
It rhymes.
Wazulu :
My ships are an odd brew of Culture, some British, all strange.
Pyramidion-The Black Lagger. A delicious pun on Rowan Atkinson's Blackadder, and it originates from a game with Lehran, Cul and some other fine fellows in which we managed to win despite me disconnecting around 8 times. Upon reconnect (which is often) 'Blacklagger Connects Again!' can be heard.
Squid- Grabbin' Pills. An ironic mention to the two situations in which health is not an abundant resource. While there aren't zombies in Guns, I do love it when some co-captains change their ship name to 'Pills Here!'
Galleon- Gangplank A mention to the only non-scurvy ridden pirate to ever sail these air currents. That, and he heavily reminds me of RethBurn, simply because he was his Skype profile picture for a month.
Goldfish- Gandalf's Beard A mention to the old Wizard himself, I chose this as the trail of rockets from the Hwacha is almost as long, but half as powerful, as that white beard.
Junker- Change to Engineer I doubt the survivability of Junkers without 3 Engineers, and calling the ship such helps the newer players understand my reasoning.
Spire-Glass Cannon Epitome of the Spire.
Zenark:
Junker - Revenant
Its dead pieces of other ships...plus it sounds cool :p
Pyramidion - Crimson Chin
Here comes, the Crimson Chin! *RAM*
Squid - Scorpion
Fast little bastard that disables prey with claws (Gatling Gun), then finishes it off with a sting (swing around to use mortar). It also breathes fire from its ass (flame thrower)
I've been playing with names for the others, I'll get back to you on them.

That may be my new favorite ship name because it epitomizes what a captain should expect from his crew.

I've been flying my junker a lot recently, It's pretty durable, someone described it as the Galleons little cousin during a game a while back.
