What did you name your ship and why?
James T. Kirk:
I hear those Cake people are recruiting.
riningear:
My obviously-romantic newbie pilot boyfriend and I have now named ships after each other.
My nickname means "bird" in Japanese, and his nickname is Kit, so I have a Pyramidion named "Fox-Bird."
But of course, he comes up with much more beautiful things in my honor. Including "HMS [realnamewithheld]'s Ladybone" and "HMS Pandabutt."
Also I named my Mobula "Fluffybutt." For obvious reasons. Not that I pilot to begin with.
completely superior first post coming through
Admiral Telephosphor:
Squid: HMS Last Argument, a reference to "The Last Argument of Kings".
Junker: Circus Maximus
Spire: Eulogy For Socrates
Galleon: Weep For Nietschze
Mobula: Funeral For Plato
All named because they just sound cool.
Captain Phil:
Well, all of my ship names are rather dull and humor lacking but here they are,
Eternity's End: Galleon; this was my first ship I ever flew back in the beta days and my flag ship. At first I was going to name her "Eternity" but I stuck the "End" at the end to make it a bit more unique incase someone else wanted to name their ship "Eternity."
Spelljammer: Squid; Spelljammer is a number of things in the DnD campaign setting "Spelljammer". It is the name for a massive and rare ship, and is the name for magical engines used to fly ships through space.
Twilight's Sorrow: Pyra; one of a few mlp references in my ship names. This one received "Twilight" due to the pyra spike.
Fluttershy's Ducklin: Goldfish; Originally named "E.A.F. Fluttershy (Equestrian Air Fleet)" but Squash was being a prick and was bugging me about having non-duck names. Might switch it back due to the lack of the "g" at the end bugging me, and Squash can deal with it.
Quack'n Discord: Junker; My original junker build used 5 different guns, so I named it Discord, same name change story above^.
Crystal Citadel: Spire; Another mlp reference, and it also fit the spire since it seemed to be made of crystal.
Lady L. Mckennitt: Mobula; Tribute to my favorite artist, Loreena Mckennitt.
Piemanlives:
I renamed my Junker The Musical Manatee, because I have a tendency of getting muse-ical :P
