my newest ship

[me_b_kevin]

the naming of a ship on this server is tricky...well except if your making a military or faction ship...what about independants?

i'm making a junker character and i'm having trouble naming it....simply because i don't want it to look like a faction ship which would make more threads about "who are ___?" but i also don't want to look like a non RP player with just a wierd name to play by.

the ship i'm making will be either a freightor or transport....so it's too big to use my character name.

so...

would just a name like:

Troep
Chatarra
Mazo
Marteau
Tirata

would that look bad? or should something be added to make it look ship nameishy?

Me, I run around in a trasport called Boss.Mk.II, so I don't think using a name is a bad thing.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

i'm trying to stay away from numbers...if i were going to name a space ship i'd probably not put a number on it ya know?

and i don't like using spaces because it puts a sightly _ in between them, i guess i could use a dash or puncuation?

hmmmmm....how about this:

Troep-IV.U

i kinda like it

I'm not saying that you have to use numbers, I'm just saying that I did. I like that one, BTW.

Troep-IV.U

it's kindof a hidden funny, if you can figure it out i'll give you a yankee dime

anyway...so that would pass as a ship name?

My Junker Transport goes by the handle of the "Happy Albatross", with credits going to his generally cheerful disposition and the seagoing legends wrapped up with that particular bird 'o flight.

I say point your nose at particular bits of Junker lore/stomping grounds and pick 'em out based on where your fellow is hailing from. 'Jersey's Pride' or somesuch.

Just my two cents.

I like the character_name|ship_name variations, like the one you use with the Necrosis.

I think the whole who the bleep are the <insert tag here> occurs only when there are 5-7+ players using the same tag and confusing everyone.

i kinda had to do it with Mon'Star...

see, the way i see names in FL is basically what your ships computer reads from the other ships computer

in terms of fighters it'd just be the name of the pilot, but with bigger ships i imagine they would have to register them some how and that should be what your in-game name should reflect.

with Mon'Star i needed to put his name in it because well he's kinda got an infamous name so the computer would be showing that as a warning...maybe?

this guy is a nobody so i would think it should just be the ship name

My trader is 'the tradeship Miranu', named simply Miranu. Doesn't have to be anything fancy... just as long as it has some special meaning. Mine does, and I'll give a penny to anyone who knows.

@Zapp: EV override? EDIT: Escape velocity games...

I name my fighters by their pilot name

When it come to capital ship, except Gunboat(dunno why...) I name then with an Historic ship name

Ex: HMCS_Athabaskan which is my cruiser
