Ship Names

--- Quote from: Marauder Zwyrol on January 04, 2015, 12:45:59 pm ---Well, I don't even play much as a pilot. But sure, whatever:
Pyramidion: Furry
Try to Google it in graphics. I dare you.
Spire: Foxy
I like foxes. Not some zoo- stuff though, I'm not into that kind of things.
Mobula: Kitsune
Like I said before, I like foxes. And what's better than fox spirit taking form of cute girl, seducing you and stealing your life essence? Totally worth it if you ask me.
Goldfish: Neko
You know... cats. Catgirls. Stuff and thangs. Don't judge me, I'm weird ok?
Junker: Daniel
Named after Amnesia: The Dark Descent main character, I swear.
Squid: Brzęczyszczykiewicz
Don't even try to spell it. You won't be able to. And that's why I named it so. It's a reference to a movie How I unleashed World War II, specifically scene where main character Franciszek Dolas tries to fool SS officer with fake identity. Just copy+paste it in YouTube.
Galleon: Onii-chan
It's big. Protective. Just like girl's older brother. Considering that girls in anime often call brothers onii-chan and IT HAS FOUR CANONS READY TO UNLEASH HELL AND DESTROY THE VERY ESSENCE OF YOUR PATHETIC LIFE, I thought it'd be the best name for it.
--- End quote ---
Totally, TOTALLY worth it.
Also, Salute for Onii-Chan. Love it.

I'll bite, sounds fun. All of my ships are named after Roman gods and goddesses.
All of my ships have a "RAS" designation, standing for Roman Air Ship (roleplay thing for my clan), but anywho:
Goldfish: RAS Minerva: Minerva is the Goddess of Wisdom, Strategy, etc (whole bunch of other things). Personally the Goldfish requires the most strategy to fly effectively (except the Squid). So I saw this as a fitting name.
Pyramidion: RAS Vulcan: Vulcan is the God of Fire, Metallurgy, and the Forge. Forging Metal > Hammer on Anvil > Ramming > Pyramidion...That's about it. Also my favorite Pyra build used to be Flamer/Carro forward (before the flamethrower buff).
Junker: RAS Neptune: Neptune is the God of the Sea and Earthquakes. While neither have much to with airships, the Junker is certainly the ship that resembles this deity most to me.
RAS Bacchus: Junker is the only one of my ships that has two different "official" names. The RAS Bacchus is the name of my "mine Junker". Bacchus was the God of Parties/Celebrations (as well as Wine). Mine ship > Party > Bacchanal!
Galleon: RAS Mars: Mars is the God of War. Galleons are large Warships. That's really about it for the reason.
Mobula: RAS Pluto: Pluto is the God of the Underworld/the Dead. Mobulas are finicky, but incredibly deadly when flown/crewed correctly. Plus Pluto is just such a cute name for such a strange, derpy (yet lovable) looking ship.
Spire: RAS Diana: Diana is the Goddess of the Hunt, this ship's first load-out was a Merc/twin Gats/ and a Heavy Flak. A long/mid range eviscerating kill-ship. The ship's loadouts have changed since then, but the name has stuck.
Squid: RAS Mercury: Mercury was the "Messenger of the gods", seemed like a fitting name for the fastest ship in the game.

TFW Jub Jub-senpai notices your thread
Yeah, my Goldie has 3 names; HMCS Gold Rush, HMCS And He's OK, and HMCS Champagne. Gold Rush because barrage of golden rockets rushing at your ship, And He's OK because Lumberjack and Monty Python, and Champagne because what does champagne do? It pops the cork. Hellhound also pops.
Riggatto:
My ship names change frequently, but at the moment they are all songs by Jimi Hendrix
Squid (never fly it, but it deserves a name): Hey Joe
Galleon: Little Wing
Pyramidion: Purple Haze
Mobula: Killing Floor
Junker: Motherless Child
Goldfish: Spanish Castle Magic
Spire: Fire
Canon Whitecandle:
Most of my ships are dog-themed because DAGZ, with the exception of my Junker. I'll keep this short and save descriptions for my Junker.
Squid - The Pekingese
Galleon - The Shepherd
Pyramidion - The Bloodhound
Spire - The Daschunde (A dog I despise and a ship I like even less. Go f**k dem sausage dagz.)
Mobula - The Barking Basset (She's loaded with Banshees and Hades, goes in loud every time~)
Goldfish - The Dogfish (Is it a dog, a fish, or a dogfish?!)
And finally...
Junker - The Ballistic
I pride myself in running an effective long-range ship, and The Ballistic definitely does the job well. Its name is inspired both by the role it plays and the song Velocity Shift by Overseer.

I can't help but play it whenever I'm at the helm of my Junker, which might contribute to the fact that I can never hear a damn thing my crew says to me.
