Dev Request: Help us come up with ship names.

[tigersfan]

Do you need any more ship names?

It can never hurt.

[Misery]

Gratuitous Space Battles did that, or something similar at any rate, and I always thought it was really dumb. No one names ships like that. We always name them with single names.

Yeah, sometimes those can generate some really.... stupid sounding things.

On the other hand...  sometimes it can come out like how it often does in Starbound so far.  Some of the weapon names in that can be dumb, but then you also get weapons like the "Screaming Crunch-Squisher" or "Badass DudeStabber", which are my 2 favorite finds so far.

If those arent good examples of why this type of naming is great, then I dunno what is.


Also, someone suggested "AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH" as a ship name earlier in the thread.  I support this name choice as well.  I use that name for game saves sometimes.

We can't have anything that is copyrighted though.

You can't copyright a name, really...

Enterprise
Liberator
Serenity
Challenger (wait, that's two space shuttles in one never mind)
Just Another Nameless Ship's Mind

</silly>

Cheers!

Can't go wrong with self-referential mythology:
DoomBot, FireEsper, TriangleShip, Neutered Gate, SpaceWhip, Mark V, Journey to Perfection, (which sounds like a luxury liner, honestly).

Typhon's Peak, Hellwroth Eclipse, Flawless Nether, Bathymetrous (a reversal of previous titles)


And of course, scathing irony:

Beautiful Interface, Volumous Humour, Miracle Font and ElvenBoot

Carrion- A kind of fast attacke that deals progressive damage to targets.
Kali- As the name implies, this unit would possibly sacrifice allies (or enimies, maybe) to deal extra damage.
Yami- Yami means "Dark" in Japenese, so it could blind opponents, disrupting their movement, or even having them target allies?
Azathoth- The Old God at the center of the universe, could be a fleet capital ship, big guns, or make units it kills into AI War style "zombie units that attack with impunity.
Surt- Norse fire god, could use AOE attacks, dealing burn damage along with them.

A few names and concepts to fit them, after seeing this up a few weeks after buying AI War, I am very interested to see how and where this title goes.
