Salvager Catalyst:
Cat :3
-
Salvager Cormorant:

-
Jita fishing Nereus:
Corpse Wagon
-
Jita fishing Atron:
Necromonger Express
-
Naga:

(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:

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.
