CedricB Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 The Star Wars Timothy Zahn books.... Name of Grand Admiral Thrawn's ship... also the name of a mythical creature. I chose Oni for the name of my ship. Just because it means "Demon" in Japanese. I also named my fighter that...

HiPingScoba Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 I named mine for Tolkien, it means dark-elf in elvish. Or literaly dark-speaker (quendi being the word for speaker and elf interchangeably). Mor being dark, used also in Mordor, morgul, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandus Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 First of all, your way into Tolkien. Can you actually speak Elvish? I have a friend who can...scary. To stay on topic, I used the ship name GCV-Defiant for my CC. The only other name I'd ever use, when I was playing a different race/caste/career is Orcus Aquinus. It means "Bringer of Death" in Latin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 I go with Bandus on the Latin names. Mine is Prosterno, which in Latin means Bringer of Destruction, just as I explain in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigoku San Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 My good old ship is the Infinity's Abyss, I don't really remember where or how I though it up, just that it had a nice feel to it. Used it for a long time, since the second time I got my hands on the free version of BC3K 1.x. Sometimes though I like to use its sister ship, the Eternity's Well.

Serondal Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 I have two ships, one of them is a Battle Cruiser MKII named Soulblade which is the last name of man who took Serondal in as a Child and became his father. He's named his ship the Soulblade for the purpose of remembering him. The second ship belongs to my other AE Charles Bradley (My name, woah ;P) And it is named GVC Louisville which is where I obviously live. I've always liked ships named after Cities and States. That ship is a Nightstar and hasn't at much success. I can't even seem to destroy an enemy figter with it! Any whoo, those are my current ship's names.

Psirat Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 I always call my main AE Psirat, so I always make a play on this in the asset name. I just moved up to an Aestrom (much different from a MkIII), and moved up to the name PsiLance. Lance 'cause we're playing calvary, focusing on ground ops, and also it's a pun on Silence - which I hope to do to my enemies. So far, I've been the one silenced. We decloaked under a raider station, hoping we were in a blind spot. We were disabled in under a second. Ooops. (Restore) Ground ops have been a little more successful.

Raven Posted December 21, 2002 Report Share Posted December 21, 2002 Well, my main ship is the Dragon's Daughter (no relation what so ever to Wody's). I also have the Goddess Fire and the Black Revenge. The names are fun, original, and have a nice mythological air to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rworbey Posted December 21, 2002 Report Share Posted December 21, 2002 I started by using a number of traditional RN ship names, mostly but not exclusively WWI & WWII battlecruisers, carriers, and cruisers (seemed somehow appropriate!). These included Repulse, Renown, Courageous, Glorious, Invincible (didn't last long!), Intrepid, Indefatigable, and Fearless. My current ship is the Firestorm class GCV Valeria Victrix, named for the Roman XX Legion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos2 Posted December 21, 2002 Report Share Posted December 21, 2002 If I am to say anything, I've named my ship (GCV-Rickenbacker) after a dropship that originated in 2nd part of the System Shock game. My first ships, however, were named after RN ships, but not from WW2 - GCV-Leander, GCV-Trafalgar etc. Now my ship's got this name. And I'm proud of it.

Thomas Braun Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 I think it stands as a tribute to creativity that there are so few Starwars / Startrek ship names out there. I didn't see a single Enterprise or Executor, except of course that the Enterprise was (is?) a real carrier and I seem to think the Executor was a destroyer.

IceCold Posted December 23, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 The Executor is the name for the super star destroyer that crashes into the death star in Return of the Jedi. It is Darth Vader's command ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
