Inspired, really good choice :)
Thanks brother.
Well, yesterday I've had an inspiration, thinking about the Starfarer. This is such an ugly ship, huge, strong built, with a compact, bulky body. It somehow reminds me of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". So, there it is, the grand ugly dame of space, Sams "Hunchback" :)
That's a great name. Your Hunchback and my War Pig can fly together.
I think 'The Negotiator' sounds pretty cool. Kinda like a parody of the Terminator too...
I'll use both The Negotiator and Diplomacy. One for my Bucky and one for my Redeemer, which I'll be picking up eventually.
Your victims...er, I mean "clients" will suspect nothing!
Right? That's just a fine, upstanding, pillar of the community. Nothing to fear there.

I haven't named any ships in SC yet, but presuming I start with a Reliant and Carrack they will be christened "Tasty Bits" and "Vortex Chariot".

Also presuming I find privateering to be as lucrative and fulfilling as I hope, I'll be naming hundreds of other ships. That'll be fun.

So thoughts and things started happening. I know, I know, it terrifies me too when my brain muscle starts doing stuff and things.

Anyways, a theme has started to emerge based on the naming of my Caterpillar, 'Pillar of the Community.

As such, my Drake family:
Caterpillar: 'Pillar of the Community - I've explained my reasoning on this one earlier in the thread. No need to beat a dead horse.
Buccaneer: Upstanding Citizen - Fine Upstanding citizens, just doing an honest days work in the asset reallocation division.
Cutlass: Moral Authority - we just want to make sure you're on the right track, not being led astray, tempted by the evils of the 'verse.
Dragonfly: Integrity - men of integrity are needed. Its a dangerous verse we live in
Dragonfly: Character - just because you are a character, doesn't mean you have character. ;)

The rest of my fleet:
Sabre: Diplomatic Relations or Diplomacy - the ship you send when you want to discuss terms like civilised folk.
Prospector: Geological Negotiator - someone has to open up talks with the rocks. Or just open up the rocks.
Starfarer Gemini: War Pig - for now. This ship may become a Carrack. When she does, she'll be named for my son. I've yet to decide on the name, and if/how it'll follow the theme.

What what what?!? Come back from the near death my beautiful thread. Arise!

Is my fleet still the same as the last time I posted? Do I have anything new to name? Are there new TESTies who require this thread to fill their lives with joy? So many questions that shall be answered oh so soon.
