Oh you know it, a V8 big block. Odd thing is, if you watch the full opening, his mining ship bares more than a striking resemblance to the ventures. ![Rochard Big Daddy 427](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/3/b/e/3be92f1650a567b007decd2d8bb7ff21cfbda1f9.png) It looks like he pulled the mineral cargo bays. I purchased the game about 7 years ago from a bargain bin at GameStop. Itā€™s the Linux version and I got it for $2.99 great game and no longer available on Steam. o7 ---

All mine are named ā¤ usually, I use to do a lot of wormhole stuff. Mostly special Drifter holes with some friends. And they used this symbol so we knew who was who on DSCAN. Kept the tradition alive, it is a little annoying however when you have the same ships with different fits, so Iā€™ve started to vary it now my hanger is so large. But it is a personal code so it is not obvious what the fitting is lol. ---

> [@Takeda\_Sanjo](#): > > my hanger is so large This is what is called **hoarding**. The cure being to cull your fleet by visiting a **ganking** system near you. To be successfull, the ships you offer to the ganking gods, must have officer fits and carry sufficiently valuable cargo to make the culling worthwhile. It is customary to say **Good Fight** after a culling and tip your gankers, the tip depending on the value of the ship, mods and cargo. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/5/c/0/5c0bcff6a5576e74c24e707b4cc8943847640eeb.gif) ---

All of my gang support ships of any one type will share the same name so that my team mates know who they are seeing on Dscan. For example, all of my Maledictions are named ā€œSomething Wickedā€. My hunting and fighting ships have individual names, and i will sometimes change the name while i am out and about. ---
