NP~ The Nonsense Product: The Merry Company of Jolly Degenerates (info/feedback)

[Karlotta]

Karlotta, the name of the shipyard is literally The Nonsense Factory. It is in Cassini. The part about the Culture is the ship naming scheme usually used by literally every single rogue faction ever . You can find the list here. I am sure you will find a lot of familiar sounding names. Because that is where the source of Rogue names has been since 2009.
If the name is not directly taken from this list, the name follows the ''style'' of that list.
Usually as a contradicting or ironic statement.

Naming your ship Batman is an import. Naming your ship the Cargo Cult, the Little Rascal or the Dramatic Exit - is not.

Since the names "Nonsense Factory", "Cargo Cult", "Little Rascal", and "Dramatic Exit" all appear in the novels of "The Culture" according to the link you provided, how are they not imports? Just because they've been used in disco since 2009?

Don't get me wrong... a little importing for inspiration here and there is nothing bad in my opinion (unlike other people who have been complaining about the Colonial Remnants).

I just don't see how the name being from "The Culture" is as a valid counter-argument against the name being immersion-breaking. That would be like saying "Using the name Batman isn't immersion breaking nor an import because there was The Joker in 2010".
