In a big voice: Well Ladies and Gents, Drake is currently leading the race for names with One hundred percent of the entries! Do we have anyone else mighty enough to challenge him? And what about those descriptions? I'd reckon there nearly as important as the name itself!

The 2nd one looks like a good liberty ship, or maybe order.
Pst, don't let Dboy know i said this but, That would make a great order bomber!

I mostly lurk around Media Center these days.

That first one reminded me a little bit of the Talon. Not sure why. Probably the squashed-flat cockpit. Looks a bit stealth-bomberish

Been here since Discovery 4.77 (lurk mode engaged)

I have recently met and discussed with Atalawohisdi the trader that flies the Caribe. Just so everyone knows, I engaged in Sigma 13. He flies through half the system before going back to New Berlin, where he cruises from one side of the system to the other, hugging the sun as close as he can. All the while, he flies near Battleships trying to scrape me off. I finally send out the white flag, and move back to Sigma 13. However, it was a ruse, and he bit. Knowing his trade route, I interdicted the trade lane and the chase began anew. It ended, an hour after it began, with me retreating, out of Countermeasures and getting very irritated.

He kept boasting how he has never been caught; I'd like to see him beat until he begs to pay, then beaten some more.

- Best day ever.
