i name all my ships SLS The Green Machine, gets pretty confusing sometimes 

[ubuntufreakdragon]

<faction prefix> M4B1 <old name> Paragon
<faction prefix> M4B2 <old name> Paragon
<faction prefix> M4B3 <old name> Paragon
<faction prefix> M4C1 <old name> Astral
<faction prefix> M3A1 <old name> Apogee
<faction prefix> C4T1 <old name> Prometheus

Helps quite a bit to quickly identify the ship if hit by hyperspace storm on low supplies.

I name my ships things like "chonkler" "big boi" and "sh*tcan" for some inspiration

Once I was bored, so renamed recovered Legion XIV as "Skunk Ass".

For reason unknown, it became a hellborn killing machine, that refuse to die even under AI control for many-many years of active service.

Also, there was Paragon named "Complex Compensation"  That thing dies in most of the battles used.

Call me superstitious, but names sometimes affects something.

@shrek_luigi Please refer to the forum rules about necroing old posts - 8 years is a bit much! I've split the topic off from the old content.

Also, there was Aurora named "Dawson’s Christian". But her beams definitely were not "burned brighter than all beams I'd seen before". Instead, it dies in a very first battle. Unrecoverable.

Probably, I shouldn't fit three phase lances on it. Stupid idea it was.

I'm sorry, it was such a good thread, I just had to necro it

My best design choice for an Aurora so far was to strip it, slap 7 Antimatter Blasters into the front, install Safety Overrides and Aux Thrusters, put the rest into Flux and hand the keys over to my good ol’ Lieutenant Rio Tjon … a reckless officer.

The guy took off screaming, blasted a Lumen straight to hell, rammed a Radiant going 280 and took off behind the REDACTED fleet as I could have sworn I heard a faint “witneesss mmeeeee ..” over the comms console.

Sure, you give the guy a command and he answers with maniacal cackling as you can hear his crew record goodbyes for their families in the background, but the REDACTED fleet was almost as suprised as me.
