I'm adding them all to the list. Collation, analysis and dissemination to follow. :wink: IE I'm drunk, it's 3 am, my little wolf just started howling, so I'm going to bed.

You're a good man @Stevetank, no matter what @Montoya says about you!

I made some sweet rhymes once when I responded to @Montoya 's thread about 8 months ago in the Star Citizen forums. He promoted me to head of something but never told me what I was promoted to. 7 months later, I get promoted to Lead Aurora Theorycrafter for posting a picture of a Crucible with 28 Auroras in it. I told my friend to cram as many Auroras in there as possible and that's what he came up with.

I think I'm making some good progress here. Once piracy hits, I'll be on discord more and organizing people for raids. Montoya once said that leadership here is not given, but earned. I plan to earn my ranks here in TEST Squardon using what I learn from other members.

I'm not the best fighter or the best tactician. I'm normally in the top 33% of a server in BF4. But I always surprize people and you won't find many people who can pick things up as quickly as I can. I can easily jump around and help wherever I'm needed. Today, that help is in naming a ship in honnor of Little Wolf.

I'll just earn my leadership one step at a time :)

Good speech. You're making me feel all warm and fuzzy, :slight_smile:

I really appreciate the leadership style in TEST. It's conducive to fun. And the work that the higher-ups have put into making it this way cannot be commended enough.

I for one an excited to see what cream rises to the top when things start to shake out. It'll be exciting and fun and all around a great experience for all. There are some great ideas and thoughts floating throughout our org. It'll be awesome to see some of them come to fruition.

I'm not even shooting for the top. I'm happy with being the leader of a small squadron. So if my pirate commander tells me to grab some men and make a distraction or tells me that we need to grab as many torpedoes as possible, they can count on me to get it done.

I do inventory at work, so inventory in game is easy. I also find good deals on things for work, so I can do that too. I'm good at Math and I'm honest... which are uncommon traits for pirates I guess.

I want to be someone who can be relied upon and that requires trust. So I'm here to earn that trust. I just need to work on it s little at a time and the more that Star Citizen gets built, the more we'll all play and I can earn that trust faster.

I'm actually set up to train rookies since I have most ships that we'll be boarding, lol.

I completely understand this sentiment. And good on ya. Being someone that others can rely on is a damn good feeling.

I'll fly with you anytime my friend. I think our pirating shenanigans will become the stuff of legends.

Don't forget public drunkenness. Or in your case, enabling a drunken Owl.

@Stevetank
My original thoughts on ship names, back on page one, had a ship called "Wolf's Howl". It was my Sabre, named in honour of my little wolf.
Huh. Imagine that. I started the thread, but didn't bother posting my own names. I'm so advanced. Haha.

Aurora LX: Last Resort. I own an Aurora because TEST. If I'm flying her, it's a last resort. Or I'm on a TEST Aurora Op. Which I'm sure will happen. When all the rest of our ships have been destroyed. Ha.

Sabre: Wolf's Howl. This name is staying the same. A tribute to my son, my little wolf. Whatever fighter I end up with will retain this name.

Prospector: The Sentinel. A nod to the sentinel bots from the Matrix Trilogy. And definitely with the thought of combat mining (thanks @Black Sunder for the that term).

Beerfarer (Star-G): War Pig. She's a space sow. She's an armoured space sow made for fleet action. Rear echelon, but fleet action nonetheless. The name fits.

Caterpillar: Owl's Ingenuity. With the modularity this ship is supposed to have, I reckon this can be whatever I want it to be.

Carrack: The Narrator. I intent to narrate my destiny in this girl. To the far reaches of the void. The cosmos. To boldly go where no digital ship has gone before.
That being said, I really hope they add a lot of stuff to find, and a lot of space to explore. Otherwise, all these explorers will become redundant, fast.

If a small salvage ship is introduced, I'll pick one up. Her name will be 'Second Chance'. I figure all the scrap I salvage deserves a second chance, a renewed purpose. As do the ships who I shall be combat salvaging: Obviously they need a second chance, their owner's were simply misguided when they decided to become enemies of TEST.
After going through your list of names again, I find myself drawn to "Howling Wolf" - so near in name to that original Sabre, as well as "Where Wolf" - what better make for a Carrack?

I'm thinking, if I use "Where Wolf" for the BMM/Carrack, then I name the snub "Wolftank" (unless I get a Doom Turtle again - that's a perfect Terrapin name), and use "Owl's Well That Ends Well" for the Reclaimer...because things/ships are definitely ending/ended if the Reclaimer is onsite.

The names actually fit. Quite well. Now I need to get a ship to name "Howling Wolf".

Thoughts?
