What did you name your ship and why?
Mod Josie:
As the battleships of the Royal Navy are often named after brave and honourable personality traits - I have endeavoured to name mine after some less valued flaws in the human psyche.
These names are subject to change - but I love them all the same. Each ship's name starts with the Call-sign VSS (Very Sugary Ship - as these are ships of the Cake Navy).
Enjoy.
Goldfish: Abdicative - Skittish - runs from trouble.
Mobula: Diffident - Shy - lack of self confidence.
Spire: Circumspect - Wary - unwilling to take risks.
Pyramidion: Misanthropic - Distainant - lack of trust in others.
Galleon: Aristarchic - Critical - unwilling to accept blame.
Squid: Pettifoggery - Squabbling - quibbling and annoying.
Junker: Prevaricative - Untrustworthy - hard to ascertain their intentions.
macmacnick:
Mobula: Target Practice — large surface area, the wide frontal profile allows for easy hits.
Spire: A) Olympic Torch — Its like a Beacon, especially the balloon, and gets lit up easily.
B) Jacob's Tower of Pun — Full of Puns and Fun for Jacob, as he gets to use a Lumberjack, along with shooting puns.
Squid: The Val Jean — Star Trek Reference: Referring to a Maquis Raider ship from Star Trek: Voyager.
Galleon: A) Egotistical Maniac — Referring to the ship's inflated personality-like feel, and has quite an attitude.
B) Deluxe Paperweight — This version of the ship acts quite ineffective, or at least potentially will be, and as such is basically a
huge, deluxe paperweight.
Pyramidion: Kobayashi Maru — Another Star Trek Reference: Referring to the Dismal chances of winning.
Junker: A) The Creepy Zuka Doll — A reference to the Codex of Zuka; Aptly named, as it it quite effective at killing (or at least injuring)
the enemy team's ships.
B) 'Fatal' Attraction — Mine/Harpoon Junker; name comes from its attraction being only sometimes fatal.
Goldfish: A) Pastry Perfection — Being Cake-perfect, when I'm feeling optimistic about winning.
B) Delta Flyer — Yes, another Star Trek: Voyager reference: As the Delta Flyer is quite fast in Voyager, this name is used in
Crazy King/Resource Race/King of the Hill matches, as of the need to go fast (using moonshine or kerosene) to get to that point
Mepic Von Shreck:
Jacob's Tower of Pun was amazing.

I've always liked the single-adjective names for ships. So I picked the one adjective I admire most in others, and try to follow in myself.
It's also a reference to something else... That's all I'm going to say about that.
