What did you name your ship and why?
Captain Magellan:
Squid: U.S.S. Arrow
Based off of the ship that Captain Magellan (who was a character I based off of Lord Nelson from my Pathfinder Campaign (hence my name)) piloted. However, the ship that Captain Magellan piloted was a class suited to ramming but the name still fits the Squid.
Goldfish: U.S.S. Stottlemire
Entirely void of back story, just a random idea surge from my AMAZING head.
Spire: Korinth
I needed a classy name for my epic ship so I randomly took the city Corinth, and replaced the C with a K, and PRESTO! An epic ship name.
Pyramidion: Polarus
A misspelling of the star. At first, I didn't realize I had misspelled it; but when I did, I kept the first form because the U looked much better than the I. Sue me.
Junker: Illithid
A fantastical creature that is the racial enemy of Githyanki. Totally and completely void of a back story.
Galleon: Yet to be constructed
The title is self explanatory. I haven't flown this one.
Letus:
Oh man...
Okay so I guess I'll TRY to explain
Spire -- Cucumber Kumquat: NateDawg told me to ._.
Squid -- Forrest Gump: Well. Squids are fast right? Forrest Gump runs alot, so run, Forrest, run!
Goldfish -- Lumbering Jack: The name used to be the Omnom Nom Sandvich, but the Goldfish is a "Lumberfish." Then one day I had Monty Python's "Lumberjack Song" stuck in my head for who knows why....probably because I was watching Monty Python...
Pyrmidion -- Pÿrmähërmäfürgër: If you were ever on NateDawg's ship, and we were against a Pyramidion...that's what he called them. I threw in the umlauts because I could.
Junker -- Nautical Nonsense: ...to be honest...I have no clue why.
Galleon -- Omnom Nom Sandvich: Originally named "Nintendo 64," because...well those things last forever still, and "Areallylongnameforashipyouwon'tbelievehowlongthisis," but after an unfortunate glitch...had to be renamed something short. The Omnom Nom Sandvich came from what was originally a Lumberjack Goldfish that was going to be named the "Uncommon Ship" since it's loadout was uncommon, however, I missed the "c" and it came out the "Unommon Ship," then evolved into the "Nomnom Ship," in which...well...evolved into the Sandvich.
These ships--with the exception to the Pyramidion--aren't set in stone and will most likely change over time.
N-Sunderland:
Updated ship list:
Pyramidion: HMCS Duck Pharoah
Goldfish: HMCS Aquaduckt
Galleon: HMCS Steel Drake
Spire: HMCS Duck Hunt
Squid: HMCS AeroDuck
Junker: HMCS Ugly Duckling
HMCS is, of course, "Her Majesty's Canadian Ship". So the Canadian equivalent of HMS.
-Muse- Cullen:
My Squid has jumped between Delirium and Gustatory Hallucin(ation, sadly, the name is too long.), cos I think a mental illness is a good name for this thing, and tasting things that aren't there is also pretty wack.
My Spire is called the Rickenbacker, after System Shock 2's main ship. Fun game.
Big Fat Bob:
Pyramidion: Big Fat Pyramid - Red Pearl - Blue Pearl
Goldfish: Big Fat Goldfish - Red Pearl - Blue Pearl
Galleon: Big Fat Galleon - Red Pearl - Blue Pearl
Spire: Big Fat Spire - Red Pearl - Blue Pearl
Squid: Big Fat Squid - Red Pearl - Blue Pearl
Junker: Big Fat Junker - Red Pearl - Blue Pearl
and when I hate someone, wanted to show them who's the boss, my ships name is: Let me kill you
