Community input: Name that Freelancer! - jammi - 05-23-2025
Hello!
While resolving outstanding development tickets, it has come to my attention that NPC freelancers currently have no name range defined for large vessels. This is why Freelancer pirate trains spawn with the name "unknown unknown", for example.
I figure it's time we fix this, and as a bit of fun, I'd like to crowdsource some suggestions. This will be the pool of names Freelancer NPC large vessels (transports and gunboats, effectively) will be able to pull from.
Those could be place names from regions Sirius already draws from, i.e. the nations associated with the Houses. Bespoke ship names are also fine, however if I see any memes or anime references, I will move heaven and earth to bring a ban down on your head.

ExamplesI'm also going to provisionally be adding the prefix IFV for Independent Freelance Vessel (or possibly just a blank space) unless there are any other suggestions.

While we're at this topic why not open up some of these minor NPC names for "canonisation"?
For example if one wanted to retire from roleplaying a character that was a transport captain, it would be a nice touch if it could still exist in-game as an NPC.
Same could be applied to bar NPCs. Like, imagine going to a Freeport and there's Bessie Bishop BHG NPC telling me how she used to be an adventurer like me before she took a blaster shot to the left wing.
