I was just wondering: What does everyone call their ships?
I alwayse call my shuttle "Cardboard box", my Scout ship "Flying pencil" and my later-on ships generally get called "Talon" or "Bird of prey"
What about everyone else?

Hellfire is one I used a lot. Other than that I used Black Diamond, Big Boy, and Jasper a lot.

Look at the stars, that's your life. Look at the dirt, that's your life too. Look to all sides of yourself and see what really isn't your life, but a fantasy dreamt of by others and forced upon you in whole.

i start off with a ford pos, then call the first few which are able to hold their own in combat daedalus, then i get to the big boys and call them dreadnought (no relation. i started this in ev, well before there was a chance of a redundant name)

I always leave the shuttle with its original name, and I always call my scoutship Scout -- creative, huh? A sampling of names for my more credible fighting ships:
Touch of Death
Arcturus
Enigma
Star Parrot
Widowmaker
Death Wish
Sabre
Z.S.S. Blimp
Monster
R.S.S. Raptor

My warships/fighters are usually one of the following:
S.S Deathwing
U.E.S.C Marathon
Boomer
S.S Cheesecake
V.S.S Borb (my "shoot me with hunter missiles" ship)
Manus Celer Dei
I call my shuttle "The Brown Streak". Then I upgrade to a Krait, and call it "You'd be blue, too!" Pirating my way up to a quarter of a million credits, I find myself in a Helian called "Get out and Push". I hope one day to acquire a Turncoat, which I will call "Chunky Munky"...
...then I wake up, bathed in sweat. It was all a horrible nightmare! Phew...
Back to "Lady Lovely's Chatter", the neutron-turreted Igazra, none too soon!
