What did you name your ship and why?

[Keon]

Mine are all puns:

Quackentosh
The Flying Duckman, yes coldcurse, that's a pun on you.
Quack of Doom
Quackpot
And then the SS Totally Meta Pyra, which is some stupid loadout I want to play like all harpoon

[Captain Smollett]

Wow, I've never seen the Quackentosh out in the wild, but let me say that that is an awesome name.  Salute for that.

[SkyKrabbe]

Pyramidion - Krabbe's Kestrels
A term of endearment for my ship and crew that won four matches in a row. We at one point in the fourth match were taking fire from two goldfish and some how we survived. In some kind of miraculous feat of engineering, gunnery and captaincy we killed both ships in a prolonged firefight.

[Spasmic Monkey]

Well here they are...

Goldfish(flagship): Vanilla Ice's Bohemian Lovechild

Reason: I watched the Adam Sandler movie 'That's My Boy' one day and Vanilla ice acts in it.  I then thought of the name Vanilla Ice's African lovechild, was listening to Queen at the time and jazzed up the name to become the one and only VIBL.


Pyra: The Sensual Hippopotamus

Reason: It started off as the Dirty Hippopotamus but i thought the Sensual sounded more classy.


Junker: Three Tit's Mcgee

Reason: For some reason it reminds me of the three boobed girl for Total Recall.


Galleon: HMAS Man-Panties

Reason: It used to be the Ambidextrous Pimpslap because of the heavy guns on either side but then muse reduced the character limit so i named it the 'CBF naming this' ... and then for some reason thought 'man-panties' sounded funny.


Squid: HMAS Goat Explosion
Reason: I knew a band named Goat Explosion and i thought that it was the coolest name in the history of mankind.

Spire: HMAS Fully Erect

Reason: The shape of the spire ...durr

If a dev is reading this please don't take away my ship names... with your character limit you already reduced the mighty Lovchilde to the V.I.B.L(in game) and you also took my heavy flak cannon from me.... these names are all i have left

[N-Sunderland]

True fact: the flak nerf, as necessary as it was, was partially responsible for the collapse of SMAC.

[Gorath]

I'm very disappointed I haven't seen any ducks with a ship named Marvin

[Alordex]

Spire
The Pillar of Autumn

Mostly because it sounds cool, and its a SPIRE.
Also, reference.

Pyramidion
The Hard Hitter

Its laced with explosive cannons and stuff. Im not very creative.

Galleon
The Juggernaut

Its big, slow, and takes alot of damage.
Must I go on?

Squid
Little Leo

I named it this mostly due to the fact that it is small, and uses alliteration.

Woo.

Junker
The Sky Oddity

Not sure why I named it this. Might have been because of the wierd loadout I gave it.
It sounds cool none the less.

Goldfish
Gimp Fin

Because finding nemo.

Win.

[Redorio diVario]

Here are my ships. Most of them have polish names so I will also include translations. Of course some names may change in the future.

1. Galleon - Żuraw (Crane)
Because galleon looks a little bit like a harbor crane to me xD.

2. Goldfish - Podniebny Kurak (Flying Chicken)
It's a reference to the Sea Chicken from the cartoon Mad Jack the Pirate.

3. Junker - Wszystko się sypie (Everything is falling apart)
Because of the overall impression the junker has on me. It looks a little bit like it was about to fall apart xD

4. Pyramidion - Trollolodion
Because of 2 Mercury Field Guns installed in front of it. We call this a "trolling tactic" to harass enemies from large distance and destroy their armor, engines and guns so that other ships in our team can destroy their hull.

5. Spire - Netch
Because of the creatures that can be seen in the game Morrowind and recently also Skyrim: Dragonborn.

6. Squid - Ogórek (Cucumber)
It's just a big flying cucumber, isn't it?

[Lord Dick Tim]

Lol, Squid, the Sea cucumber.

[Ofiach]

Squid - PewPewMcShooty. Just cuz

Goldfish - U.S.S. Nemo, self explanatory. We need another fish themed ship so i can make the U.S.S. Dori.

Junker - Bobaganoosh, MXC reference

Pyrimidion - Guy LE dushe, MXC reference

Spire - Buffy because it looks like a big wooden stake, bring on a vampire level now!

Galleon - H.M.S. Smallpox, The ship made me think of the Nina and the Pinta and then smallpox blankets! History!!

[Nostalgium]

Pyramideon: Freckled Crow - The ram puts me to mind of a crow's beak. No idea where the freckles came from, though.

Spire: Roaring Cockatiel - Due to the profile of the balloon, with the raised "sail" at the back, and the stumped "beak" in front, and the "eyes" on either side of the balloon.

Galleon: Gilgamesh - A grand name for a grand ship (that I never fly).

Goldfish: Rampant Sparrow - Named as such because it appealed to me at the time, and I flew it quite recklessly.

Junker: Brazen Orca - The balloon reminded me ever so slightly of a whale.

Squid: Humming Mackerel - Alcohol was involved.

[N-Sunderland]

I've renamed my Junker, since Ugly Duckling wasn't very creative.

HMCS Anatidaephobia. Inspired by...

[Captain Smollett]

Nice!  Far side and ducks in one fell swoop.

[ZEE]

Gallion: I like mortars.
All mortars in all slots. 

[Machiavelliest]

Galleon: Gilgamesh - A grand name for a grand ship (that I never fly).
