Name your ship

[Imbrium]

I'd have a slightly rusty but reliable 30 year old fishing tug being re-painted and renamed for the seventh time as 'Rusty Joe'.

 

[Sejs Cube]

Huge retro-victorian starship, armed to the teeth named...

the HMS Enlightened Discretion.

 

[Smyter]

the delphanous dont remember the spelling but its on skies of arcadia legends i think

 

[Zeddicus Zhul Zorander]

My ship would be the Infinite Discovery, a city-sized Titan class spaceship. It would have a dock that could house 100 small starships. In terms of weapons, it'd have dozens of plasma cannons, MACs(Magnetic Accelerator Cannons), four Orion nuclear missiles with a payload of 2500 megatons each (equivalent of a small asteroid), a dozen smaller Avalon nukes with multiple warheads, and a self-destruct mechanism that would yeild an explosion the size of Earth's moon. For defense, it would have invisiblity, hyperdrive, 1000's of EMP charges placed strategically on the ship's underbelly and sides, and enough armor to withstand a crash into Earth, with titanium alloys as thick as 30 meters in some places. There would be energy shields on every inch of the ship (except the cannons and missile chambers when they were open). It wouldn't have the most powerful engines because of the hyperdrive capability, but when would the Infinite Discovery every need to run away? A population of at least a million would live and work in the Infinite Discovery, and we would travel from planet to planet, moon to moon, galaxy to galaxy searching for life and resources.

Let me specify about my Orion nukes. They would not use their own propulsion to be shot at the target. Several specifically placed pulses of energy would sent them hurtling at a target. Since they would have to be in Earth's atmosphere to explode, they would first bore into the target's shell, and then explode. But let's say you have energy shields? The Orions are as big as a house, and come equipped with several hundred small EMPs. Once the Orion's inside, it'd explode. If you're in the ship, you have no chance. All the oxygen would be lit on fire (if it wasn't sucked out into space when the Orion peirced the ship's armor) and the ship would get shelled. All the systems and people would die, but the explosion couldn't completely destroy the whole hull (depending on how big your ship is). If I may make a comparison - imagine you're in a heavily-armored truck. Explosions on the outside couldn't damage you, but someone drills a hole into your door and drops a grenade into your cabin. Multiply the force of the grenade by about a billion and the size of the truck by about a quadrillion and it fits nicely. The smaller Avalons work the same way, but the one's on my ship are modified. They basically work the same way, except, of course, that they're smaller, and they don't drill into your ship. Once the Avalon's in range, it releases the modified warhead. Each is equipped with an EMP charge, and each attaches to a structurally critical part of ship, blowing the armor to shreds. Let me digress for a second. If I actually had to use the Orions or Avalons, I'm already in deep trouble. That means my MACs and plasma cannons haven't destroyed you. It probably means you're a worthy opponent.

Just thought of something! When my Orion missiles get within 1000 meters of your ship, they would be programmed to automatically hack your ship's sound systems and play Beethoven's Fifth Symphony out of all of the speakers. Mwahahaha!

Dude, you put WAAAAY too much thought into this.

Why not just call it the pwnmeister or something and have done?

 

[scoobyduped]

Whenever I played Sid Myer's Pirates at my friend's house, I always named my flagship "Some Big Ship," so that survivors of my ransacking could only say "Some Big Ship attacked us." Then I named the other ships after mythical beasts: Kraken, Chimera, Chupacabra, etc.

So I guess Some Big Ship will suffice for now

 

[LilGherkin]

I'd give my ship a rediculously long and absurd name that would require the entire boat to be black because all the words overlapped. I'd call it "Mother F'n Anal rape while Jesus shoots Satan in the head with a shotgun while winning over the judges on American Idol and dancing with the stars while having hot sex with 32 different women while Led Zepplin and The Rolling Stones play an awesome duo of Gimme Shelter which causes the brown note effect from South Park so everyone craps themselves and Mario starts having sex with Princess peach while the only thing he can think of is how it took 23 years to finally have sex with this princess that I thought was rather homely."

Top that boat name.
P.S. it would be a little rowboat that I would ride around on a lake for small game fishing.

[Atvomat_Nikonov]

I'd probably have an aircraft carrier style ship but without the aircraft. It would carry aquatic tanks (like the BMD-3) and hovercraft. I'd name it The Nikonov after the weapons designer who made the first complicated Russian rifle(as far as I know) and because all the crew would be armed with this rifle. It would be a military vessel, but it would lack many heavy hitting turrets, in favour of RPG wielding soldiers.

 

[Jamash]

I'd have a hospital ship called H.M.S.N.H.S. No matter how much of a battering it will take or how many parts begin to break & fail, it's will still remain afloat & sail proud.

How about a Mississippi class destroyer called the U.S.S. Ulysses S.? Named especially for Texans with lisps.

Just for laughs, I'd like a submarine called "The Unsinkable".

 

[Aries_Split]

Srsness time.

"El Diablo"

She would be a light galleon, and would sail to the edge of the sea.

 

[TheGhostOfSin]

'Fred'


Yeah beat that

 

[Iron Mal]

I meet your 'Fred' and raise you 'Cecil'

 

[Melaisis]

I called my ship on EVE 'The Cupid Stunt'.

No one got it, but it was mightily feared!

 

[Arturo_the_awesome]

HMS Genocide!

 

[RaffB]

A Dropship/Orbital Support Vessel

Fast, Lightly armed apart from two big ass guns (one on each side) , and stealthy

For looks, a cross between the Bebop, The Dropship from Aliens and the dropships from Halo

Called " Valentine"

 

[jebussaves88]

The main ship would be Cydonia. I'd name all the Escape Pods after the taxi drivers in my local area. Steve. Achbal. Dave. Geoff. Dave 2. Terry. Dave 3, 4, 5, 6 etc

 

[The Iron Ninja]

I'd have a spaceship, and name it after something in Norse mythology.
For example.
-Nidafelir
-Fenrir
-Thor (I mean Come on, how can you get any better than Thor? he's fucking awesome)
-Svartalfheim (Thor is way better than Zeus.)
-Niflheim (what did Zeus ever do for anyone eh?)
-Odin (All Zeus ever did was rape things)
-Slepnir (Alot)
