Sarr Thein: Dunno, I've just run out of canon Breen names .
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

This may replace the Vesta as my primary captain's ship. Her ships have been named along a Cascadian theme (Cascadia, Puget Sound, Seattle, Kitsap, etc.)
Problem is, Cascadia is almost aggressively temperate, making it hard to come up with a name that fits both the region and a cold theme. Maybe "Rainier"?
Do my eyes deceive me, or does this carrier (as well as the new dreadnought) feature eleven console slots, vs the ten on other T6 ships, while retaining the 13th boff ability slot? Are the Intel ships simply sacrificing a console slot in exchange for their gather Intel abilities and cloak?
Am I the only one who hates immeresion breaking names for ships? Names should either sound likethey'd be a word in the language of the ship builders or play to the themes of the ship in english, which is a translation of the original word.
Names like I don't know Goofball or whatever, are just horrible.
Even federation ships have thier themes, such as earth locations (or possible locations on other federation worlds), historical figures of importance, symbolic names that reflect the purpose of the ship, ect... you'd never see a ship called snotwad99 (yes I made that up, I don't wish to single out anyone else).
For my Klingon ships I keep a pregenerated name in Klingon, for my Orion Ships I go with names like O.S.S Debauchery, O.S.S Depravity, ect.., because it fits the themes for the Orions.
For the Breen I'd either go either pregenerated Breen name or something that hits the Themes of the Breen and Ship Time. The Breen are accosiated with treachery (don't turn your back to a Breen) and cold so a name like Frostknife, Icical (misspelled that), Betrayal (my personal favourite as betrayal is obviously a treacherious untrust worthy act that is concidered emotionally cold).

My thoughts on the Breen ship are that (A) I need to explain why my Fed captain is commanding it (found adrift a few years after the Dominion War and lovingly restored for missions where a Fed ship profile might be a liability?), and then (B) can recommission the ship with a name appropriate for the Federation, just as the French and English constantly renamed captured ships using their own conventions.
But yeah, I do like names that seem to fit the conventions of the entity I'm flying for.

"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
I'm not really OCD about naming ships to match their origins.
After all, it's a captured/salvaged ship repurposed for Fed/KDF/Rom use, and therefore is open to being named as the Captain (who's also now in most cases an Admiral) sees fit.
So if my Fed Sci captain wants to name her ships using Norse Mythos, fine.
Of course, I do have gag characters like an Elsa, so I have to theme ships in relation to her.
