I’ll start…
most of my ships are called “luv”because the Amarr people have lots of love S3
my anathema named "Im a hound “
my DSTs are called "Obsidian” because i think is a fitting name for impels
some times i do variations just because i have LOTS of the same ship on the hangar and need to know what is what
so i do “R- luv” (because r type game)
or “R-luv-leo” because there is a r type game called leo and I’m called leo to
“luvx” , “rluvx"
some of my punishers are called “pu” , and my succubus , “suc suc” or some variation
I have a Corax named “U-571” because it looks like a German U-Boat. A Raven named “Nevermore”, an Astero named “Pixel Fear”, and my trusty mission Drake that I lovingly call “Big Juicy”…
I have always had an Ishkur named Mighty Flea. It gets a lol out of local every once in a while.
Mr Epeen
Someone brought this subject up a while ago.
I name my ships to mislead others.
HKIA (Hello Kitty Island Adventurer)
Here’s some of mine:
-
Mining Venture:
Asteroid (Veldspar)
(and similar ore names) -
Salvager Catalyst:
Cat :3
-
Salvager Cormorant:
Not a cat :3
-
Fireworks Catalyst:
Holiday Dragon
-
Garmur:
Sith Force Choke
(if you don’t understand why check the ship’s hull bonuses and it should be obvious) -
Jita fishing Heron:
Corpse Grabber
-
Jita fishing Nereus:
Corpse Wagon
-
Jita fishing Atron:
Necromonger Express
-
Naga:
Tiger Claw
(as it looks and opens /closes similar to the ship in the Wing Commander movie) -
One of the Algos fits:
Pegasus
(from Battlestar Pegasus as it looks similar) -
Old first (PvE) Atron:
Skyraider
(just 'cause it sounds cool, later also as I got the Cylon raider scanning animation SKIN during the first Guardian’s Gala event and also a reference to the real-life fighter aircraft)
-
Old first (PvE) Catalyst:
Thunderstorm
(due to the sound all the guns make) -
Gila:
Thunderbolt
(continuing the naming convention and due to the sound the missiles and their explosions make) -
Gnosis:
Golden Compass
(due to looks and also reference to the mvoie) -
Sunesis:
Sunesis
Btw always funny when people don’t rename their ships making it extra easy to find them, especially when they have a killright on their head and fly something juicy.
I dont get it
Thats why I have several ships named things like* “Lucos Kell’s Orca”
(*Illustrative example, I only actually use names of real players)
For a while I called mine Das Boot.
I also have a Vexor called Vexy McVexface…and a Raven called Rocinante.
True Sansha Skiff - Nightmare was too many characters iirc
I used to name my ships after Iain Banks ship names of the Culture, I still name some ships SacSlicer though!
I name my ships:
.
Or:
. .
Sometimes when I’m feeling saucy I’ll name it: “-“
Why not …- - -…?
Is what I name shuttles.
I did however name all my Epithal’s Didgeridoo!
Because - - - is pretentious.
My Enyo is called “Only Time”
Why not Wild Child, or Only If?
Had to look…
Loki, Hveðrungr
Curse, Acurseaponyou way back when…
And I just found…
They striped all the large rigs off the frig I called Antique.
Edit; Support ticket?
Why not?
I heard CCP is reimbursing lost orcas from pvp now.
