What is your Flagship named?
« on: April 10, 2024, 06:34:15 AM »

So after deciding on the name my current Flagship should be known by, I got curious what cool/hilarious names the community has come up with for their ships.

My favorite flagship was named the Atomic Punk, an Onslaught (P) from the Indies Expansion Pack.

If we're talking randomly generated names, I once had a flagship called "Glory to the Stars" which sounds cool.

If we're talking names we input ourselves, I bounce between "Transcendence" or "Visionary", usually depending on how quickly I get my desired flagship before naming a temporary one after playing long enough.

Unrelatedly, I also like to call my Radiant capitol "Twice-Shattered Kintsugi". I say unrelatedly, because I've never used it as a flagship so technically it doesn't count as far as the topic in the OP is concerned.

The last flagship I used, that I personally piloted, was a Nova with the randomly generated name TTDS Sigma Prince.

In general, the Remnants get some pretty good names.

Charlotte.  Always mobile, usually a frigate, often an Arma Armatura strike craft.

I just keep whatever names my ships come with, including the faction prefix. It gives them a bit of background and identity.

If I use Ziggurat, I occasionally rename it to "Vindicator", named after the Precursor flagship in Star Control 2.

One way or another, most playthroughs I end up with an Odyssey named Jester's Choice and an Omen named simply Raptor. Though I have to admit sometimes I just sit there renaming my entire fleet for an embarassingly long time. I do love to do ot though.

I usually grab a XIV Onslaught and name it 'Final Argument'.

Alternatively I name it 'X of Y' with X being its general fleet role (tanks are Shield, assault ships are Sword, etc) and Y being the planet name of my faction 'capital'.

So to chime in with a few more good ones I've had

After a Helldiver obsessed friend dissed the ASS Bootylicious for not being democratic enough, I named a ship after the best ship name another friend came up with in that game "The Fist of Family Values"
I even labeled it a DEMOCRATIC Battlecruiser

The most memorable Flagship I had before the ASS Bootylicious was definitely one of the first ones I had
I tried the Spacer start with the ever increasing debt, roleplaying that it was my character's Child Support payments
And naturally my Paragon in that run ended up being called the Child Support

Also should I just rename this thread to just all ship names? Since it doesn't matter all that much, and mostly just went with the Flagship one because those are the ones I tend to name myself.
ALSO ALSO loving all the answers!

I usually go with "The Pale Horse".  While not "technically" a flagship, as I cannot myself pilot it (Usually a Rampart or mod-similar cruiser/capital class Exploranium AI ship), it is my main champion called upon to most all major fleet engagements.

Per mythology, the Pale Horse is Death, slaying all, with Hades following behind him with jaws open to receive to the afterlife all that the Pale Horse kills.

Unsurprisingly, I follow through with the other 3.

My main fuel hauler (usually a Prometheus or if using faction mods some capital-class tanker) is the Black Horse.  Bringing fuel to bomb planets, thus bringing famine, as the horse should.

My main cargo hauler (again, either an Atlas or a faction-mod capital freighter) is the Red Horse.  I tend to use AIRetrofits and build out a droid army for all my raiding / Nex invasion efforts, thus bringing the machine equivalent of like 4000 marines to wage war, as the horse should.

My main carrier is the White Horse.  Kitted with wings upon wings of wasps, they are about as close to pestilence as you can get.

Thinking about it now, I guess I have been derelict in my RPing.  I should name another cargo hauler Hades, to properly receive the "dead", in the form of supplies, metal, weapons, etc.

Sounds like it should be a Salvage Gantry instead of a cargo hauler
