      And Names

      What are the orders and the names of the ships that you would usually buy while playing EV?
      Mine has varied greatly over the years. I used to jump through various ships such as the Defender, the Scoutship, the Lightning, the Rapier, and anything else I could grab. On my most serious pilot, this was the sequence (I'll use their names with the order):

      Destroyer: Shuttle
      Destroyer A: Argosy
      Destroyer B: Corvette
      Destroyer 😄 Kestrel
      (R.S.S.) Destroyer 😧 Rebel Cruiser
      (R.S.S.) Destroyer E: Rebel Destroyer

      I kept it pretty simple. I saved all the money I could for the Argosy, and I could work from there. As for downgrading from the Cruiser to the Destroyer, I did that because I decided the maneuverability of the Destroyer was great, and with proper upgrades it would be unstoppable.

      As for my Confederate Ship sequence, that was somewhat different. I used different names as well (I think this is what I called them):

      Eliminator: Shuttle
      Eliminator A: Courier
      Eliminator B: Argosy
      Eliminator 😄 Corvette
      Eliminator 😧 Kestrel
      Eliminator E: Confed Frigate
      Eliminator F: Confed Cruiser

      The Courier is a nice ship. It also took me a little while to save up for that Cruiser.

      You can probably tell which pilot I liked more though. 😄

      Now share your sequences.

      And yes, on an unrelated note, this is my 4000th post.

    • Hooray for 4000 posts!

      I named each class something different, just seemed wrong to give a shuttle a bad*ss name.

      Shuttle - Zephyr
      Argosy - Phantom
      Corvette - Nike
      Kestrel - Nefarious Intent
      Rebel Cruiser - Unhinged

    • Shuttle:Padawan
      Rebel Destroyer:Eternal Madness

      Capturing is good.

    • Nice topic, brings back the memories...

      Well my first time through, I had pretty uncreative names and went for practicality over everything else...

      Shuttle: Adventurer
      Scoutship: Firesprite
      Corvette: Icestorm
      Kestrel: Firebird
      Rebel Destroyer: Firebird II

      On subsequent pilots I got creative and switched a few things up, trying out some fighters (the Rapier is pretty cool -- you can fit so much stuff on it if you sell the rocket launcher) and things like that.

    • I stare at the dialog box for about 5 minutes until something comes to me. Then I do a II, III, IV, etc. for the rest of them.

    • Shuttle: Micron.
      Scoutship: Dart.
      Corvette: Doomblade.
      Destroyer: Doomblade )(.

      The Destroyer is effectively an overgunned, overshielded corvette.

    • Shuttle -> Scoutship -> Courier -> Argosy -> Corvette -> sometimes Kestrel.

      I never re-use names.
