What do you name your ships and why?

[Narayan]

I've had the same ship names for a while and they are probably due for an update.

G W Bush: for the Goldie and squid I mostly just picked it to troll euros back in 2013 cause they all hated bush. Might have to update this to trump if it seems like it would have the desired effect. At one point all my ships had this name. I'm also from Texas home of the former president who is still quite popular here.

Kersploosh: for the pyra and spire cause that's kinda what they do to other ships. It also seemed like a really annoying name to see you got killed by.


America F Yeah: for the gal cause those quad hwatcha's bring a lot of freedom and democracy especiallly if the hull is down. Also for euro trolling.

[Lascuarin]

Mine have a bunch of self-deprecating names

Junker is Cpt. Worse than Junk, Spire is Goodbye Victory and so on.

The only one with different name is my Pyramidon, which I recently renamed as Benoit since I abuse a lot of the ramming abilites of the ship.

I recently renamed my ship to 'ready up' because READY UP.

[Unarmed Civilian]

Might as well put the ship names I have for now. In inverse order of how unlikely I am to change the name.

Mobula: Roasted Marshmallow
- First ship I named. Was named during a time when flamers were much more common and Mobulas were new.
Pyra: Reverse Overhead
- A callback to Chivalry. Not as overpowered as at first glance. Still overpowered.
Galleon: I'm with you Brother
- "Together! For the light, Brother!"
Junker: Put your grasses on
- "Nothing will be wong."
Spire: Challenging Work.
- "... outta doors. I guarantee you'll not go hungry 'cause at the end of the day, long as there's two people left on the planet, someone is gonna want someone dead."
Goldy: Buff Heavy Clip
Squid: GFA Scuttler
- Mercantile Guild name. Probably changing it to "Newbie Nightmare" next time I fly it.

Junker: Put your grasses on

Take my salute

Junker - the sitting duck

goldy - the flying Ootoot

- yea i broke theme but it was a text convo that was just too good
