I name my ships whatever I find funny. My Loki is named the USS Defenestration, I got a Damavik named Tax Write-off. My DST is named FedEx Truck, despite being more reliable than anything FedEx has. ---

When I name something I get attached and getting attached to ammo ( which is what ships in EvE are supposed to be seen as ) in very silly. So I keep it simple: Velator-1, 2… Catalyst-1, 2… Venture-1, 2… Sometimes I’ll name a destroyer like Karura or Phoenix for fun and confusion 🙂 ---

Each of my alts uses a different naming convention for their ships based on what I think their “personalities” are. My Faction Warfare warrior has cutezy girly names for her “instruments of death” if you will, my station trader has quirky funny weird names, my main character has names based on species names of invertebrates, fish, etc. ---
