    Rat's Nest for this one, as I am a pack rat; kind of.

    Too many of those apex lockers in my ship, with a storage barge in mind. After all I wanted to create the Universe from system to system, so I can visit them later by chance with another character. lol :D

    I know it's lame, but the Jackdaw.
    (Lame because already used, AC IV)

    Jackie D is one of the names I've gone by, cuz Jack can kinda be whoever.
    Then I watched thirty rock and Jackie D was a thing, so I added Dawes like the last name of a friend I'd lost, not knowing a Jackdaw was a bird.

    But the Jackdaw was a pretty name for a ship in AC4 so hey, it works.

    I named my old ship the Stargazer. On one hand, gazing at stars, on the other, flowerpuns.

    May a storm of iron grace the hull of your ship.

    AI, upgrades, crew... Starbound spaceships are getting lots of new and interesting features. However.. there's a pretty cool minor feature which nobody has thought about yet: SPACESHIP NAMES.

    Think about it: Enterprise, Millenium Falcon, Titan, Arcadia, Daedalus...
    All cool spaceships have names... so why not yours!

    Post your spaceship names!

    I mine Ian M. Banks' Culture novels for ship names. All the ships are sentient and give themselves a name that they think reflect their personality. My favorites include:

    The Prosthetic Conscious

    The No More Mister Nice Guy

    The Gray Area



    In addition, instead of a simple and traditional ship designation like U.S.S. or H.M.S., I give them crap like N.D.S.. (No Designation Specified) or O.P.U. (Original Port Unknown).

    The most recent is the N.K.B. (Need to Know Basis) Flexible Demeanor.

    I would have different names depending on what race's ship it is.
    Avian: Kluex's Wing
    Hylotl: The Hellbender
    Apex: Big Ape is Cool!
    Glitch: The Magic Boat
    Human: Apollo 237

    The Hyperion - Cause there is no ship more bad ass. Now all I need now is an Ai crew mate called Jim Raynor.

    Thunderchild, as the obligatory War of the Worlds reference, would probably be one. Maybe I'd go with Daedalus as another.

    Edit: Nearly forgot one; Dreamland.

    I might need to name one The Deathwing, after everyone's good friend Deathwing.
    Or, if you'd prefer, I could just name my ship Death.

    Leaning towards Galatea, Bastion, or Aquitaine, but I may also go with Belisarius. (Whoever gets the reference gets a cookie. :D)
