I finally got a good name for my favorite ship.
Mustang Delta: Whirlwind it suits her well
And maybe not so original, but still
Warden: Bulldog it really bites hard
I know, that's why I choose the name, she earned it ;)
Atta-boy. Also, forgot to tell you, 'Whirlwind' is great too. Well done

Let's see... mostly, they'll be named 'Spai?' or 'Dontgankmebro!!!'
Granted, any Aurora I own will be 'AGM-65.'

I've only named a handful of my ships. Specifically the ones that I know for a fact that I won't be getting rid of. Their names are:
Super Hornet: Black Betty
Dragonfly Yellowjacket: Outrider
Buccaneer: The Lady
Aurora LN: Astral Bastard
Freelancer: Victrix Patientia Duris ("Vic" for short)

Nice. I like it. Especially "The Lady".

MY only change to my fleet is the addition of a Drake Buccaneer, appropriately named Biltong Meat Facsimile.

Which ship of yours have you named "hangover"? Oh, wrong question, ahem: Which of your Auroras have you named "hangover"? :D ;)
Buccaneer-HMS Yakarryoff Mebooty HMS=His Magnificent's Service
That's the only drunken inspiration so far.

I'm a fan of the Hawaii 5-0 TV show, and I recently observed that in the TV schedule there is a one-word description of that week's episode titled in the Hawaiian language. So I decided to see if any of the Hawaiian words would fit for ship names. Jackpot!
Vanguard Warden with Harbinger BUK- Ka Haunaele(Rampage)
Super Hornet- Kanaka Hahai(The Hunter)
Terrapin- Honu(Turtle)
I hope neither of these names mean "Lunch", "Dead Cat" or "Sitting Duck" in Vanduul.

Retaliator - Imminent Defenestration
Because I'm going to break the windows on your expensive ships and send you straight out into the vacuum. And I want you to know that.
I learned the word defenestration in Prague - they helped kick off the Thirty Years War by throwing some local politicians out of their castle windows. One is purported to have survived the event by landing in a giant pile of horse shit. No joke!
Hornet FC7-M - ???
Sabre - ???
Gladiator - ???
I have CCUs for days. This is the only ship which I can't melt - it's attached to my package.
I have a list. Haven't decided yet. Wanna vote?
Quietly into the Night - Independence Day reference. Best. Speech. Ever.
Iniquitous Ruse - IT'S JUST NOT FAIR. There was time now. All the time in the world. But it was just an illusion.
Subtle Semantic Satiation - Ever get really tired of listening to a song? Think something is overplayed? Want ADI players to have to grab a dictionary? That is this.
Aimed True, Not Friendly -chuunibyou for days. Partially inspired by the Culture series.
Condolences - I apologize for all those holes in your ship. An apology as a ship name both implies way too much confidence and amuses me personally.
419 (or 419 FoeHammer) - I love OG Halo.
Joker & the Thief - Great song. I will be blasting it battling the Duul.
Fatal Error - See Aimed True
Mechanical Failure - See Fatal Error
Formidable Silence - I like stealth ships. Figured I should have some rift on silence. Not happy with it yet.
Sinister Silence - See Formidable
Malevolent - It really is just a great word. May combine to form Malevolent Condolences. Oooh. I like that.
Malevolent Condolences - See Malevolent
Dire Tidings - Game of Thrones. The book, not the show. Yes I am one of those pricks. Yes, I gave it a chance. I couldn't stand the way they handled the Battle of the Blackwater, or the Battle of Craster's Keep. Yes, I probably did just misspell that.
Hull B or Hull C - Arbitration Opportunity
Margin Call
Irrational Exuberance
The Madness of Crowds
I Told Them It Would Trickle Down!
Pareto's Torpedoes
Giffen's Goods
Semi-Strong Market Efficiency is a LIE!
Because what fun is it working in finance and having an economics degree if you can't make fun of it?

my newest ship The Terrapin. Her name will be 883 Ironside. little play on words. hope she lives up to her name
Alas, the Riff Raff has been melted for the time being and the Electric Mayhem has been CCU'd into The Sir Timothy Claypole - a Hornet Ghost.
My services will be for hire, or for want of a better phrase: Rentaghost! (1970's/80's UK TV reference, hence the name Timothy Claypole)
