How important or valuable do you think that the fact that you can name your ship really is? Honestly, I don't know, then again my gaming experience is very limited, hence the search for enlightment from Testies.

I think it really helps with immersion. Also, I think having a named ship will help (some people) connect with said ship, make it more theirs. Perhaps prevent people from making arbitrary / reckless decisions.
I dunno, I really like the idea.

If I can help it my ships name will become famous/infamous.
The Millennium Falcon is unmistakably a different beast to the other YT-1300's that came out of the Correlian shipyards.
Really depends on your reputation. Surely everyone has heard of Dread Pirate Roberts, but that's because he has a reputation to keep. As you play with your ships and impact the society around you, your ship's name will start developing noteriety.
Serenity... wars will be fought over that name. I put $5 on it.

As long as I can name my ships after each of the Golden Girls and my favorite Madonna song titles, I'm good :D (if not a tad stereotypical)
You'll have to register them?? I cant say ive heared much about the subject

People have dreams of notoriety or infamy. As such, they want a ship that is instantly recognizable as this or that asshole's vessel.
Not a big deal unless you have a issue with ego management.

So far only the 600i and the Drake Corsair has had model-specific reservable names in their concept sale, so you can call your 600i or Corsair the "Serenity" and no one else could call theirs that... their 600i or Corsair, that is.
CIG has said if they limited names across the board you'd end up with "S3r3n1ty", "Sirenetie" and all sorts of other combinations which would look stupid and suck all sorts of nuts (paraphrased, not their actual words), so although it is a Warbond perk on the 600i and Corsair, it's not across the board... add to that it's only going to be for those warbond pledges, everyone else in the game who gets a 600 or Corsair can all call it the same name, as long as it isn't a reserved name, so there can still be twenty "Devils Donut" Corsairs in the 'Verse if that isn't taken in the Concept Warbond stage.
Every other model of ship in the 'verse could have a Serenity, in fact they could have twenty Auroras all called that.
No problem, as with everything CIG thats just the plan up until this point, so keep in mind it's always all subject to change.Thanks for the info NafNaf
Also, 32 ASCII characters is your limit so don't call your ship Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis as it won't fit.
Ship Naming Guide
With the introduction of the Vehicle Canvas feature in SC Alpha Patch 3.13.0, players will gain the ability to name their ships. Even more exciting is that these names will also show in game on th...
I had a list of awesome ship names ready to go, but I've changed my method now, to a bunch of names that are nonsensical but deeply meaningful to me. Should be good for a laugh.
It's kind of hard to think of 32 character words, but heez I was going to call mine Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicov because it reminds me of Slavic names. The I thought, Naw... I can't even remember that and used a 5 letter Anglo Saxon name that means Hunter.
You don't have to name a ship right away. Just whenever one strikes you is fine.
The Porcelain Throne will be remembered for ages to come, tell me, would you have the masses sing your name in praise as you raid the galaxy for unknown treasures?
lol, I would have thrown even more money at CIG if they had actually said that in a press release or official post haha

I was under the impression that CIG was going to use a similar method to ship naming as STO. I'm curious to see how this looks in it's final form.
I'm showing my inexperience here,
1) What is STO's ship naming method?
and
2) What is STO?

In a nutshell.. many people can have the same ship name, what is different are the registration numbers
Ahhh, many thanks, yes that does sound exactly what they plan in CIG, interesting to know it exists already :)
