I keep waffling on a couple ship names. I'm sorry, but this is important, haha.

So I just thought of a name for my Terrapin (which may yet become a Redeemer):
Failure to Communicate.

It fits the theme with the rest of my aptly named pirating privateering fleet:
Pillar of the Community
Upstanding Citizen
Moral Authority
Diplomatic Relations

And two speeder bikes (yes I know I changed them, but I think they fit better this way)
Law and Order (rather than Character and Integrity)

My Carrack is the only oddball right now. still sitting on We Shall See for her.
I have a few ideas though:
Founding Father
Legal Counsel (or Advice)
Letter of the Law
Legal Aid
Man of Integrity
Impeccable Character

I think y'all get the idea. Suggestions shopping the same vein?

Just look to Judge Dredd for inspiration:
Lawmaster
Lawgiver
Justice 1
H-Wagon
Iso cube
Justice Dept.
Fist of Dredd

You get the idea ;-)

If I get you correct you're looking for suggestions to name your Carrack.
In that case, I may have some:
Justitia (That's the name of the woman with the sword and the scale associated with justice)
Aequitas (same woman but instead of a sword she wields a cornucopia )

And I wouldn't be the Cookiemonster if wouldn't suggest some cookie related names:
Cracker
Cracker of Justice
space cracker
JusticeCracker
...
You get the idea...

Ooooh, a naming thread. Most of my ships do not have names yet, but I'll share the ones I have. Names can change as concepts change.

Reclaimer - Silent Bob
I play Warmachine and one of my armies is The Protectorate of Menoth. In this army there is a caster called the Reclaimer. He has taken an oath of silence and no one knows his real name. So when referring to him, most people I know just call him Silent Bob since there are other models called Recalimers. It's just an easier way to refer to him since he's THE Reclaimer of Menoth and the other models are just reclaimers.

Cutlass A - Burt
Named after the sound it makes when you fire 5 or more Mantis guns at the same time.
"BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!"

Cutlass B - Ernie
Brother to Bert (sounds like Burt) from the show Sesame Street. Can't have a Burt without Ernie.

Herald - Kali
Named after the Linux distro that is made for testing security. It's for ethical hacking. I use it for free wifi at hotels.

Polaris - Tombstone (unconfirmed)
This is basically my Aurora, so I plan on dying a lot in this ship but only after successful 28+1 bombing run. That's right, all 28 torpedoes and then the final explosion to end it.

Caterpillar - Rammy (unconfirmed)
Because I plan to carefully maneuver my ship around all obstacles by using the 'parking sensors' on the front.

Crucible - Thug Boat
Sounds like tug boat and I plan on using it for pirating. Makes sense in my head.

IDRIS - Sheath (unconfirmed)
Named after something that people put their Sabres or Cutlasses in to keep them protected.

Carrack - Maxton
Just a good strong name for a good strong ship.

I approve. Especially Thug Boat. Huzzah.
