Here are the names that I have picked for my collection :

StarFarer - "Tiny" - Taken from Robin Hood, Little John was a very large man
Constellation Andromeda - "BattleStar" - The look of this ship reminds me of the battlestar Galactica ship
Freelancer DUR - "Serenity" - This ship reminds me so much of the ship from the FireFly series
Redeemer - "Tyrant" - I am going to have some fun in this ship, so a mischievous name needed
Buccaneer - "Rebellion" - Pirate ship, so needed a name in relation to that
Prospector - "Canary" - Mining Ship.. seemed fitting..
Aurora - "Javelin" - As it's all pointy

Dragonfly (1) - "Gin"
Dragonfly (2) - "Tonic" - Just to be able to say " Oh no, you've crashed into my Gin and Tonic"

Greycat (1) - "Bert"
Greycat (2) - "Ernie" - For fun

(buying this weekend)
Caterpillar - "Vulture" - Picking the bones of derelicts

With recent changes I decided on names of my ships. In honor of my Spanish/Mexican heritage I wanted to pick traditional ship names from the Spanish armada. I failed at doing this so...
My cutlass shall, until a better name is found, be called Huevos Con Chorizo!
My DF will be The Bandido!
Maybe El Bandido ;)?

Caterpillar: Invisible Hand. Grevious's flagship AND a economic theory! I find it appropriate since I will be "redistributing assets" in it all the time.

Cutlass Blue 1: Night Haunter. Favorite Primarch from 40k. Night Lords are fucking boss.

Cutlass Blue 2: Iron Price. We do not sow.

Buccaneer 1: Bhaalgorn. One of my favorite ships in EVE to fly, Blood Raiders (pirate faction) Battleship

Buccaneer 2: Cacklin' Kraken. I think it's funny.

Herald: Silver Queen. No real reason for this one, mildly inspired from Queen Anne's Revenge and Dany from ASOIAF.

Dragonfly 1: Laughing Coffin. It's a deathtrap, may as well enjoy the ride.

Dragonfly 2: Silent Horizons. I just think it's a cool name.

Dragonfly 3: Gnarly Harley. It's a space bike.

I'm still trying to ascertain what my fleet will end up looking like.
As she stands right now though, well:

Caterpillar: Owl's Ingenuity. The ship is highly modable. Ergo, she can be whatever my mind can come up with. Imagination is key. Name may be slightly pretentious, but ask me if I care? Go on, ask me. (•v•)

Sabre: Wolf's Howl. Still named for my son, my little wolf.

Buccaneer: I was about to name her "Gentle Persuasion". But the name tickled my wee little mind, so I went a searching, and found that name in use. Sorry @MikeAlphaTangoTango, you apparently inspired me.
Perhaps: Persuasive Negotiator, Ongoing Negotiations, or simply, The Negotiator. I shall think on this.

Star Gemini: War Pig. She's still the same ugly, wallowing sow I fell in love with originally.

Dragonfly # 1 & 2: Pebbles and Bam Bam

Dragonfly # 3: Rented Mule. This is how I intend to ride it.

Think that's it for now.

How about Diplomacy? (or Gunboat Diplomacy)


When all else fails, you can always use diplomacy!

So today I had a flash of inspiration:
I've been calling my Caterpillar my "'pillar".

With the good and charitable work I intend to do with the asset reallocation department, and being as that work will stand to ingratiate said department into the community, I believe I shall rename my caterpillar 'Pillar of the Community.

That is all.
Thank you.

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" :)

Huh, suddenly the naming is done. Wouldn't thought about it yesterday, but suddenly there they are:

350r is black, she has an "r" - thus it will be my "Raven".
Aquila will be "Pandora" - because she was the first and she is a beauty; ever will be.
Caterpillar = "Mad Cat"
'farer = "Hunchback"
Carrack will be the "Epimetheus", as for obvious reasons and because I didn't want to give her the name "Prometheus", which is kind of lame imho.
The Prospector probably will have no name. Its just a working asset, a tool named "RUV" - Resource Utilization Vehicle.
Leaving the Freelancer MAX. I think, to complete the family, I will give her the name "Pyrrha". ;)

Thats it. Lets hope that I can avoid buying more ships :D

I think 'The Negotiator' sounds pretty cool. Kinda like a parody of the Terminator too...
