I think we should find a CA to petition for Muse to increase the character cap on ship names.

But who could we find to take up our cause?

I think some CA's would want that, but being one you get to see what has to be prioritised. That being said, it can't be that much of a difficult change, but then again,  I'm no tech bloke.

I recall there was a time where you could make the ship names as long as you wished. Did some real funky things to the lobby UI if I remember right.
People came up with some amusing things, like covering up their actual ship's classes, rather "creative" lines and whatnot. Got old fast though.

Not that I would know.

I named my Spire, Red Velvet.... Totally not because I'm a Cake and I needed a name for the Spire tournament.... You're silly.

My obviously-romantic newbie pilot boyfriend and I have now named ships after each other. 

My nickname means "bird" in Japanese, and his nickname is Kit, so I have a Pyramidion named "Fox-Bird."

But of course, he comes up with much more beautiful things in my honor. Including "HMS [realnamewithheld]'s Ladybone" and "HMS Pandabutt."




Also I named my Mobula "Fluffybutt." For obvious reasons. Not that I pilot to begin with.

completely superior first post coming through

Squid: HMS Last Argument, a reference to "The Last Argument of Kings".

Junker: Circus Maximus
Spire: Eulogy For Socrates
Galleon: Weep For Nietschze
Mobula: Funeral For Plato

All named because they just sound cool.

Well, all of my ship names are rather dull and humor lacking but here they are,

Eternity's End: Galleon; this was my first ship I ever flew back in the beta days and my flag ship. At first I was going to name her "Eternity" but I stuck the "End" at the end to make it a bit more unique incase someone else wanted to name their ship "Eternity."

Spelljammer: Squid; Spelljammer is a number of things in the DnD campaign setting "Spelljammer". It is the name for a massive and rare ship, and is the name for magical engines used to fly ships through space.

Twilight's Sorrow: Pyra; one of a few mlp references in my ship names. This one received "Twilight" due to the pyra spike.

Fluttershy's Ducklin: Goldfish; Originally named "E.A.F. Fluttershy (Equestrian Air Fleet)" but Squash was being a prick and was bugging me about having non-duck names. Might switch it back due to the lack of the "g" at the end bugging me, and Squash can deal with it.

Quack'n Discord: Junker; My original junker build used 5 different guns, so I named it Discord, same name change story above^.

Crystal Citadel: Spire; Another mlp reference, and it also fit the spire since it seemed to be made of crystal.

Lady L. Mckennitt: Mobula; Tribute to my favorite artist, Loreena Mckennitt.

I renamed my Junker The Musical Manatee, because I have a tendency of getting muse-ical :P
